22,000 to take inter suppl exams
KARACHI, Dec 26, 2007: Around 22,000 candidates of pre-medical and
pre-engineering groups, who remained unsuccessful in the annual intermediate
examinations 2007, would take part in the supplementary examinations starting
from Wednesday.
The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi has
established some 60 examination centres in various colleges and high-secondary
schools in the city. The board has assigned 18 vigilance teams – one in each
town – the task to visit the examination centres in their respective areas and
check the use of any unfair means. To keep another check, nine super vigilance
teams have been established which can inspect any centre during exams in the
city.
A senior official of the board said this year the number of
candidates taking part in the supplementary examinations was higher than the
previous year, citing effective measures for 'rationalizing' the pass percentage
of the result as the main reason for the rise.
"This year the pass
percentage in pre-medical examinations remained 36 and in pre-engineering
examinations it was 40 per cent, which was eight to 10 per cent less than what
was recorded the previous year," BIEK Chairman Anwar Ahmed Zai said, adding
that 44 per cent candidates passed in pre-medical exams and around 50 per cent
in pre-engineering exams last year.
He said the board had already issued
notices to the institutions which showed very poor performance during this
year's annual examinations and their affiliation with the board would be
terminated if they did not improve their performance next
year.
Explaining the 'effective measures' taken by the board officials,
he said the result percentage was rationalized due to stringent check on the use
of unfair means.
Besides, some 20 persons of integrity had been hired as
codifiers by the board to supervise the codification of answer scripts. "We did
double codification of the copies, which ensured that no alteration could be
made by anyone," he added.
Mr Zai said some 32,000 candidates would
appear in the supplementary exams of the intermediate commerce and humanities
groups, which would commence in the mid of January. Dawn
