BISE Lahore faulty results 2011
Topper was not among position holders
Lahore, Sep 14: Keeping up with its tradition of error-based result, the Board of Intermediate &
Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore on Sunday rectified error in result of a
candidate who subsequently was declared first in the Humanities Group (Among
Girls) in the Intermediate Annual Examination 2011. The result of
intermediate exam was announced on Saturday and a prize distribution ceremony
was also held for the toppers, which was missed by Sara Abbas (Roll No 530020),
a student of Mansoorah Model Intermediate College for Girls as then her marks
were only 891 and she did not fall in category of toppers. The toppers
were: Sara Zahid of the Ghazali College for Women, Township, first with 940
marks, Sadia Arshad, a private candidate, second with 933 marks and Neelam Shah
of the Govt Degree College for Women, Kot Radha Kishan (Kasur), third with 917
marks. However, after the error was rectified on Sunday, Sara Abbas s total
marks became 955 and she ultimately clinched the first position in the
Humanities Group (among girls). Subsequently, the candidate who was earlier on
first position in this group became second and the second became third while the
candidate who was thought to have secured third position had to be dropped from
the list of toppers by the efficient BISE authorities. Sara Abbas had
raised serious concern over low marks in the subject of Education through the
media and had claimed that she could never imagine to secure just 29 marks out
of 100 in the subject in Part-II as in Part-I she had secured 88 marks in the
same subject out of 100. When the BISE authorities rechecked result of Sara
Abbas on Sunday it was found that she had actually scored 93 marks instead of 29
in the subject of Education. A statement issued by the BISE claimed that it was
a computer error which had been rectified. A spokesman for the BISE said a
special ceremony was held at the board office on Sunday in which the candidate
was awarded a gold medal, Rs 20,000 cash prize and a certificate by board
chairman Prof Dr Muhammad Akram Kashmiri. It is important to note that
the BISE management had immediately suspended computer in-charge, Mian Tariq,
while an inquiry, headed by DPI (Secondary Education) Mian Abdul Haq, has also
been launched. This is not first incident in the history of the BISE
Lahore as early in 2009 during the tenure of the same chairman of the board, the
Punjab government had to face embarrassment when a private candidate, Syed Hasan
Raza Kazmi, who had secured 914 marks, was awarded third position in
Intermediate Exam s Commerce Group (among boys) despite the fact that in the
group, a student, Mohsin Hassan, of the Punjab College of Commerce had secured
915 marks. A special ceremony was organised at that time too after the actual
prize distribution ceremony in which the BISE authorities admitted the mistake
and awarded the prize to the eligible candidate. It is not hard to
imagine what the innocent students and their parents might have faced owing to
change in positions as the BISE would have to withdraw prizes it awarded to the
candidate who had secured third position in the recent intermediate exam.
Academic circles argue that if the BISE authorities were not sure of error-free
result, they must not declare the same saying the recent episode also created
strong doubts about the entire result announced by the board. Separately,
the stakeholders demand the chief minister to get rid of inefficient and
incompetent officials, from top to bottom, once for all in order to avoid any
embarrassment in the future. When contacted, Punjab Education Minister Mian
Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman, who was also the chief guest at the Saturday s prize
distribution ceremony, said that he had sought a detailed explanation from the
BISE management. He said he had asked Higher Education Secretary Haseeb Athar to
hold an inquiry into the incident and submit a report to him within three
days. The news

Faulty results: students rush at BISE continues
Lahore: A large number of candidates of Intermediate annual
examination for 2011 continued to stand in long queues at Lahore board on
Tuesday as they had come for the rectification of mistakes in their result cards
as well as check the status of their late results. Though the
board administration said it had cleared results and rectified mistakes of some
8,000 students, sources claimed that results of more than 15,000 candidates were
still stuck.
Talking to media persons, the visiting candidates and their parents said one
issue was the RL status while many others were facing mistakes in result cards.
Citing examples, they said, candidates' marks were found changed when a result
card was compared to the card of the same candidate downloaded from board's
website next day.
They said computer errors showed at one time marks as 50 or 100 and next time
the website showed marks as 52 and 102, respectively. In other cases, marks of
different subjects were found intermingled.
Lahore Board Chairman Prof Dr Akram Kashmiri, however, claimed the number of
'incomplete or faulty' results was quite low. He said all results would be
cleared within two days. Dawn

KEMU to start accepting admissions twice a year
Lahore: The King Edward Medical University administration is accepting admissions twice a year in the MS and MD programmes
despite having a total of more than 660 PG trainees in the institute, which is
already in excess of the number laid down by the PMDC. According to a YDA
handout issued on Saturday, the twice-yearly admissions would not only lead to
the deterioration of the standard of PG training, but would also lead to an
increase in the number of unpaid doctors in the institute. The increase in the
number of trainees would also burden the student hostels. YDA Pakistan office
bearers Dr Rana Sohail, Dr Salman Kazmi, Dr Talha Sherwani, Dr Ghulam Qasim, Dr
Aslam Rao, Dr Murtiza Blooch, Dr Talha Saad and Dr Mohammad Khawar Khan have
demanded the KEMU vice chancellors to not change the policy of yearly admissions
in the MS, MD programmes and to follow the pattern of PGMI for admissions so
that merit could be upheld in KEMU. YDA has appealed to the Punjab chief
minister and the Punjab health secretary to take notice of the matter.
