KARACHI, Aug 21 - In order to facilitate students seeking admissions in Karachi colleges, the
Centralized Admission Policy (CAP) Committee has extended the forms submission
date till August 25, 2007.
Chairman CAP Committee

extended in case of a possible delay by the Board of Secondary Education Karachi
(BSEK), Agha Khan Board and institutes of O levels in providing consolidated
marks sheets to their candidates.
He said that all admissions would be
provided purely on merit. He said candidates with a gap in their academic career
could also apply, but five marks per year gap would be deducted from their total
marks.

The CAP has also set up 41 information centres in the city where senior
education officials, besides CAP Committee members, are available to guide the
admission seekers and their parents about the procedure of the
