as of the total 538 candidates (both girls and boys) who obtained A-1 grades in

third position with 963 (87.54 per cent) marks. Statistics of the
results released by the BIEK showed that of the total 8,257 candidates (1,325
boys and 6,932 girls) who were declared successful, in all 538 (3.37 per cent)
candidates (97 – 2.92pc boys and 441 – 3.49pc girls) got A-1 grades; 2,190
(3.71pc) candidates (329 – 9.91pc boys and 1861 – 14.71 girls) secured A grades;

(3,319 boys and 12,650 girls) appeared in the exam and of them 8,257 (1,325 boys
and 6,932 girls) were declared to have passed in different grades.
"It would really help students who give priority to public sector medical
colleges if these colleges announce their admission policies at least one year
in advance. Medical colleges should also conduct pre-admission entry tests to
filter out best available students. However, there is no need to increase the
number of seats at government medical colleges, and I doubt if inducting more
students would bring about better results." -Anoosha Asma, first
position in BIEK Pre-Med "Seats in public sector medical colleges
should increase, as it is not necessary that every person can afford the
expensive education being provided in private sector." -Amber Waqar,
third position "All students should come on merit basis and no
one should be given preference on quota. Written tests for admissions to medical
colleges should not be necessary, as a candidate might have some problem on that
particular day.I also think that there is no need for co-education in the
sector, and confidence can be built up during house-job." -Afaf Anis,
second position. Dawn/The news

Karachi: Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Yaqeen Model School System
(YMSS), Mirza Mustafa Zaheer, held a press conference at Karachi Press Club on

medical reasons and he would definitely come back to take charge of his school
system". He said that taking advantage of his (chairman's) absence
several former employees have illegally occupied some campuses. He

campuses located in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Block-4, 4-A, North Nazimabad, Block-D,
PECHS and Dhorajee. "The chairman is keen to take back the control of
YMSS and he has also assured me that he would be running the matters smoothly,"
he added. The CEO alleged that Mufti Din Muhammad, Head of Qura'an
Section, has not paid salaries to the staffers and he has cheated YMSS of Rs0.8
million. An application has been submitted at the concerned police
station on behalf of the chairman, adding: "We will further see what action can
be taken against the people involved in defaming the name of
YMSS". Talking to journalists, Javed Masood, a landlord, said that he has
taken the charge of his building and he would pay all the dues to teachers and
non-teaching staff probably this month. "I will also try to get it registered
with the authority concerned, and I will visit the office on Thursday (today) in
this regard," he added.
