Meanwhile, BIEK chairman Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai said here on

showed below 10 per cent results in the examination.
He was taking to
newsmen at a ceremony held at the BIEK conference room in the honour of the
position-holders. He said the colleges showing below 10 per cent result in the
previous annual examination had been issued notices asking them to improve their
performance or risk disaffiliation from the board. "If the colleges are the same
which had been served notices last year, then the board will have no choice but
to suspend their affiliation," he said.
About the board's steps to
prevent or curb the use fake answer scripts, he said that answer scripts with
water marking and hidden marks, readable only through an electronic device,
would be introduced from the academic year 2009.
Prof Zai stated that the
pattern of examination papers would also be changed from the next annual
examination.
"The new pattern envisages 50 per cent marks for
objectives-type questions, 20 per cent for short answers and 30 per cent for
descriptive questions," he added.
He also announced that the board would
award Rs500 per month to the top 20 students on the merit list for two
consecutive years. Director-general (Colle-ges), Sindh, Prof Rafique Ahmed
Siddiqui, BEIK controller of examinations Prof Agha Akber Mirza, toppers and
their parents were also present.
Toppers say load-shedding undermined their studies
Karachi: Toppers of the Intermediate Science (Pre-medical) group examination on
Wednesday bitterly criticised the KESC making their studies extremely difficult
by providing no relief in its excessive load-shedding during their
examination.
"Our performance in the examination was badly affected owing
to the prolonged and frequent load-shedding and breakdowns. In fact, we would
have done much better, otherwise," they said while talking to newsmen at a
ceremony held here on Wednesday to announce the results.
They were of the
view that the Dow University of Health Sciences should conduct the entry test
for admission to the DMC and SMC only after completion of the HSC Science
(Pre-medical) group examinations. Ailiya Rizvi said her studies during
examination were affected by traffic problems in the city, besides disruption in
power supply.
She was of the opinion that the credit of a student's
excellent performance should not go to his/her institution alone. "Sometimes it
is the institution that plays a vital role in inculcating positive traits in
students and sometimes it is the students themselves who work hard and study
with devotion to gain knowledge," she argued. Ms Rizvi says she studies for
eight hours as a daily routine.
Anam Hareem expressed her views on the
role of coaching centres in helping students do better in examinations. "There
is no harm in joining coaching centres because it has been observed that
students of the colleges offering proper and regular academic activities also
take tuitions and shine in the examinations."
Mohammad Danish Saleem said
that after doing his O'levels, he preferred to join the intermediate system
stream because being a local system, it allowed students to understand values of
their own society.
A student of a private college, Danish feels that
private colleges usually provide a better environment to their students as
compared to government colleges. Dawn
