Inter mark sheets delay, KU admissions
Students suffer as KU, BIEK blame each other
| Karachi, Nov 08: Hundreds of students who passed their Higher Secondary
Certificate (HSC) Part II (Arts) examination recently are uncertain about their
admission in University of Karachi (KU), due to what seems a lack of
coordination between KU and Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK). |

Chairman BIEK says students would not have suffered, had there been
coordination on behalf of the KU, while Registrar, KU, says they allowed
sufficient time for delivery of mark sheets and assured they will address the
problem faced by students.
A large number of students from different
government colleges, who have to submit their admission form for BA/B.Sc at KU,
complained that they were not given their mark sheets by their respective
colleges till Friday. Saturday, November 8 (today) being the deadline for
admission, they fear that they will not be able to attach their HSC-II mark
sheet, which is a mandatory requirement for admission.
Samina Younis, a
resident of Korangi and student of Government College for Women Korangi 6 said
that she will now have to go to the BIEK in person to collect her mark sheet and
then go to the KU for submitting her form. "Since banks operate till 1.30 p.m.
on Saturday, I doubt if I will be able to do that in the little time available,"
she said.
Ruqaya Jafri, Principal of the said college said that the BIEK
did not dispatch the mark sheets. Explaining, she said that BIEK sends the mark
sheets directly to the college. "We cannot do anything in this connection as it
is the responsibility of the board," she said.
When Chairman BIEK, Anwar
Ahmed Zai was contacted in this regard, he said, "We have dispatched
the last lot on Friday and the concerned colleges should receive it on
Saturday." He adds, "We did not delay our work, in fact we announced the results
of Arts group 18 days earlier as compared to last year." Asked how long it takes
to prepare and dispatch the mark sheets, Zai said, "The colleges should receive
mark sheets in about two weeks after the result is announced and we dispatched
all the mark sheets in time."
Commenting on the problems faced by
students of Arts group, he said, "NED University, Dow Medical College and others
coordinate with us before fixing the deadline for admission." He added that they
allow sufficient time to the students for receiving the mark sheets. "However,
no one from KU coordinated with us in this connection. Students would not have
suffered, had there been coordination from the KU's side," he
commented.
On the other hand, the Registrar KU, Raees Alvi said, "We do
consider the dates of all the results announced by the BIEK and allow sufficient
time to the students for the receipt of their mark sheets and fix the admission
deadline accordingly." Explaining, he said, "We have an admission committee and
deans of all faculties sit together and everything is considered before the
admission date is finalised."
He further added that if the mark sheets
are delayed by the BIEK they cannot wait for it. Asked if they coordinate
directly with the BIEK, he responded, "We don't coordinate directly, however, we
consider the date of results and make sure we allow sufficient time to the
students for receiving their marks sheets."
Asked what students should do
in case they are unable to submit the admission form along with the copy of
their mark sheets, Alvi said, "It should not be a problem and students can
consult Director Admissions if they face any problem." He maintained that if
some one cannot submit the copy of required document on Saturday, he should
still submit the form, inform the Director Admissions and provide the document
by Monday. The News

Edu dept replaces Sindh Textbook Board (STBB) chairman
Karachi: The slow pace of publishing textbooks for the coming academic year has forced the Sindh Education Department
to replace the Sindh Textbook Board (STBB) chairman.
Colleges Regional
Director Prof Abdul Salam has taken charge as chairman of the STBB, replacing
Asghar Ali Bhutto and a notification has been issued, education department
officials said on Friday.
It was also learnt that differences
between Bhutto and Sindh Education Secretary Rizwan Memon were also a main
reason behind the new appointment.
The differences between the two
officials first became evident when Memon cancelled a tender issued by the STBB
to purchase seven thousand tonnes of paper in August, the officials said. Giving
details of the tender, they said that the paper was to be purchased at Rs 64,000
per tonne but they felt that the paper should be bought cheaper.
The
education secretary also called upon adopting a transparent tender process to
ensure the availability of textbooks before April 2009.
It may be
mentioned here that the education department allots Rs 700 million for the STBB
every year, of which Rs 350 million are for purchasing paper and Rs 350 million
for printing textbooks. Buying paper at unnecessarily expensive rates will
result in funds running short and fewer textbooks being printed than are needed.
The board has to print and provide some 30 million textbooks for the students of
the province before the start of the next academic year.
Talking about
the change of the STBB chairman only a few months before the new academic year
is to start, they hoped that the textbooks would be available on time if the
paper is purchased as quickly as possible.
The next meeting of the
committee, chaired by Sindh Education Minister Pir Mazharul Haq to oversee the
matter of purchasing paper, will be held today (Saturday). Daily Times
