department's special monitoring cell revealed that the highest number of cases
of candidates using unfair means were registered by the Board of Intermediate
& Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore. The Lahore board detected 61 such cases
during the matriculation examination administered at various examination centers
set up across the city. The board had also registered five cases of
