KARACHI: The question paper for 9th-grade computer studies was reportedly leaked on social media before the exam, which was scheduled for today (Tuesday).
However, a representative for the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) stated that they could not verify if the papers doing the rounds on social media were real or fake.
As the exams for grades 9 and 10 start today, the students were directed to refrain from bringing mobile phones to the examination halls. The BSEK chairman warned that the devices will be confiscated if students fail to follow the directions.
In the morning shift, science group papers are being conducted, while the general group papers are scheduled for the second shift.
Online admit cards were made available by the board office this year. The exam locations are also listed for the students on their admit cards.
The spokesperson said that those who submit online forms can print the admit cards. He added that the students who were unable to submit exam forms for the 9th or 10th grades can do so on May 10.
The representative stated that a Rs3,500 late charge must be included with the late exam form. In addition, exams that are missed during this period will be rescheduled.
