HSC Part-II (Pre-Engg) exam results, Boys outshine girls
Boys finally outshine girls in HSC Part-II (Pre-Engg) annual exam
Karachi, Sep 03, 2008: Unlike the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) General and
Pre-Medical Groups, boys outshined girls by obtaining top five positions in the
HSC Part II (Pre-Engineering) Annual Examination 2008. The results were
announced on Tuesday by the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi
(BIEK).
Muhammad Zeeshan Jaffer s/o Jaffer Hadi from COMMECS Institute of
Business and Emerging Science secured the top position by obtaining 991 marks
out of 1,100 (90.09 percent). Muhammad Waqar Hameed s/o Abdul Hameed from
Adamjee Govt Science College got second position by obtaining 984 marks out of
1100 (89.45 percent). Syed Muhammad Ahsan Umar s/o Syed Muhammad Umar who also
belongs to the Adamjee Govt Science College ended up third by obtaining 976
marks out of 1,100 (88.72 percent).
A total of 21,227 candidates
registered for the exam, including 15,565 male and 5,662 female candidates,
while 20,961 candidates appeared in the exam. The overall passing result was
46.11 per cent as 9,666 candidates, including 6,975 boys and 2,691 girls,
succeeded in the exam.
375 boys and 189 girls obtained A-1 grade, 1,224
boys and 634 girls passed their exam in A grade, 1,921 boys and 798 girls got B
grade while 2,249 boys and 851 girls passed in C grade. Those who passed their
exam in D and E grade include 1,170 boys and 202 girls
respectively.
Responding to a question after the award distribution
ceremony, Zeeshan Jaffer said that he chose to study in a private college due to
the influence of political parties in the government colleges. Jaffer and other
position holders credited their parents and teachers for their
positions.
Speaking on the occasion Chairman Board of Intermediate
Education Karachi (BIEK), Anwar Ahmed Zai, told journalists that each of the top
15 position holders would receive Rs500 per month from the BIEK as scholarship
for their higher studies up to two years. He also said that preparing three
results in a short span of time was due to the efforts of the BIEK.
He
also said that they would take help from the international organisation 'Edlink'
to train their staff for the smooth functioning of the newly-announced
examination procedure that was likely to be launched next year. Regarding fake
marks sheets he said that under the new examination process it would not be
possible to make fake marks sheets due to a secret code that would be given to
each marks sheet. The News
Stung by prolonged power outages
Like other students who passed their Intermediate
(Part-II) Science (Pre-Medical and Computer) groups annual examinations with
flying colours, the first three position holders of the Pre-Engineering group
also complained that prolonged power outages had badly affected the performance
of all the students in the examination.
They deplored the fact that
although over 60 years had elapsed since Pakistan came into being, those who
remained at the helm of affairs failed to take measures aimed at ensuring
uninterrupted power supply to the citizens.
They were expressing their
views at a reception organized in their honour by the BIEK at its conference
hall. BIEK Chairman Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai, Controller of Examinations Prof Agha
Akber Mirza, Director-General (Colleges), Sindh, Prof Rafique Ahmed Siddiqui,
parents and principals of the meritorious students were present.
Mohammad
Zeeshan Jaffer, who got first position in the examination, said that he
preferred to take admission in a private college merely because there was no
student union while on the contrary government colleges had unions, most of
which usually indulged in politics.
Moreover, in his college it is
mandatory upon students to have one hundred per cent attendance in their
classes, he said, adding that he intends to do chartered accountancy.
The
second position holder, Mohammad Waqar Hameed, was of the view that there is no
harm in joining coaching centres because by doing so, students get extra
knowledge about their subjects. "Had I not joined the coaching centre I would
not have got the position," he added. He wishes to do masters in electronics
engineering.
Syed Mohammad Ahsan Umar, who got third position, said that
students had to suffer a lot not only because of frequent power failures but
also due to traffic jams, which often occur during peak
hours.
Attributing the worsening power supply position and traffic jams
to lack of planning on part of the Karachi Electric Supply Company and the
transport department, he said that these departments could only bring
improvement in both sectors if they planned for the long term instead of taking
temporary measures. Dawn
