Four private colleges affiliation suspended
Affiliation of four colleges suspended
Karachi, Feb 03: The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has
suspended the affiliation of four private colleges of the city for offering and
giving admissions to even those students who did their matriculation in the
supplementary examinations despite knowing that they are not eligible to appear
in the forthcoming Higher Secondary Certificate (Part-I) annual
examinations-2011. Taking notice of advertisements through which the colleges were offering
admissions to first-year classes in almost all faculties, including science
(pre-engineering and pre-medical), commerce and arts for the current academic
session, BIEK chairman Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai on Wednesday not only suspended
their affiliation, but also handed over all the examination forms received from
these institutions to the Board's Review Committee. The BIEK also issued show-cause notices to all such colleges, asking their
managements and heads to explain as to why their affiliation with it not be
cancelled for deceiving students and their parents as they were aware of the
fact that all those matriculates, including those who passed their matriculation
by appearing in the Secondary School Certificate (Supplementary) examinations
this year, if admitted as regular students to their institutions at this stage
would not be able to meet the mandatory requirement of 75 per cent attendance
and hence their forms for appearing in the Higher Secondary Certificate (Part-I)
annual examinations-2011, would not be accepted by the board.The BIEK chief said
that the action had been taken against these colleges so as to save the innocent
students and their parents from becoming a victim of a fraud.
Prof Zai also appealed to parents not to get their children admitted to such
institutions as those who were being offered admissions to colleges nowadays
would not be able to meet the mandatory requirement of 75 per cent attendance
and, as such, their forms for the forthcoming annual examinations would be
rejected by the board.
According to a press release of the BIEK issued here on Wednesday, the
colleges which are offering admissions in February and whose affiliation with
the board has been suspended include Jauhar College of Information Technology
and Management Sciences, Ashrafi College, Askari Degree College and Ghazi
Foundation.
