Management of 20 colleges summoned for poor results
KARACHI, Oct 1: Most of the 20 private sector colleges, which showed
downright poor performance in intermediate exams this year, had less than 10
candidates registered with the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi,
officials said.
The directorate of private education had summoned
the managements of 20 colleges, which gave zero per cent result in the
second-year premedical exams, to explain their position.
In some
explanations, the directorate was told that the colleges had only one candidate
in the exams and it was top of the reasons for their zero per cent
results.
"A college had fielded just one candidate in the pre-medical
examinations while a couple of others had registered two to four and some others
less than 10 candidates for the premedical exams," Mansoob Siddiqui, director
private educational institutions said.
He also referred to a private
college, which had registered four students, and none of them appear in the
exams.
Mr Siddiqui said, "The situation is not encouraging in the first
place and we have decided to take some steps to improve the situation." He said
the directorate had approved to do away with certain faculty in the colleges
with lesser number of students and on the basis of poor performance. Dawn
