Students take exams amid power breakdowns
Karachi: Students appearing in the intermediate examinations once again suffered a great deal due to massive power breakdowns at examination centres on Tuesday.
Despite the assurance by the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), almost every examination centre remained without electricity. The management of the KESC had assured the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK), that load shedding would not occur during the papers in the neighbourhoods of the examination centres.
However, BIEK, which is conducting the boardÃs exams for Class-XI and XII, told this correspondent that candidates solved their papers without electricity.
Meanwhile, the police and rangers were also reluctant to be seen near the examination centres. The BIEK has asked the Sindh Home Department to impose Section 144 to stop the influx of outsiders around the examination centres so that candidates could solve their papers without any interference in the classrooms.
During the second day of the annual exams, 31 candidates of Class-XI of Medical Technology Group appeared at two examination centres in the paper of Microbiology while 1,817 students of Science Pre-Engineering and General Group appeared in the Paper-I of Computer Science. Furthermore, 30,212 pupils of Commerce (Regular) Group appeared in the Paper-I of Business Maths. According to BIEK officials, no unfair means case was reported in the morning and afternoon shifts on Tuesday.
