BIEK fee increase irks students | KU exams rescheduled
BIEK doubled fees (Rs150 to Rs300) for various disciplines
Karachi, Oct 23: The recent rise in the charges for various services offered by
the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has irked the students,
especially those from the lower-middle and lower classes, who will be affected
the most by the change in the fees structures. BIEK officials believe, however,
that these increments were essential to meet various expenses because the Board
has no other source of earning. According to a notification - BIE/ADMIN
(ESTB) CIR/402/2009 - issued on July 02, the Board has doubled the fees (from
Rs150 to Rs300) for various disciplines. Students will have to pay the new
amount for permission fee, benefit case, change of group, regularisation
permission, gap permission, first year repeats, and "old cases as penalty per
year". A second notification, BIE/ADMIN/ (ESTB)/CIR/703/ 2009, was issued
on the same date to increase the service charges of other disciples. In this
notification, BIEK officials have proposed the rates for the issuance of
certificates, marks sheets, IT certificates, migration certificates, duplicate
documents, scrutiny fees, verification of miscellaneous documents, and special
arrangement for practical examinations. In another notification,
BIE/ADMIN (ESTB)/CIR/319/ 2009, issued on August 19, the Board has decided to
collect Rs1,170, instead of Rs780 as the registration fee, and Rs300 as the fee
for old cases as a penalty per year, which was Rs100 annually. The news
