Exams that were postponed will now take place at the same locations on February 12.
The decision was taken in response to a notification from the Sindh government on the shutdown of educational institutions due to elections. It will be necessary for students who were supposed to take the postponed papers on February 6 to modify their study plans and get ready for the new exam date.
This postponement can be inconvenient for students and mean more work for those who have already scheduled their study sessions.
In the meantime, the Karachi Intermediate Board has sent a letter to the department investigating corruption requesting that its personnel be charged with a crime.
