BSEK Exams Hit by Major Centre Changes, Report Claims

KARACHI: A probe report has confirmed major irregularities in the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) examinations, including the shifting of more than 170 examination centres, as concerns over leaks, cheating, and administrative failures during the exams come to light, sources said on Tuesday.

According to the report, prepared by a probe committee constituted on the directives of Sindh Boards Minister Ismail Rahu, the board administration changed over 170 examination centres during the matric exams. Sources said the report has been submitted to the office of the minister for boards and universities.

Serious concerns over paper security, revealing that a Computer Science paper and its answers were circulating on social media at least 20 minutes before the exam started, emerged, raising questions about the extent of the leak and its spread.

The committee had been formed on the directives of Sindh Universities and Boards Minister Muhammad Ismail Rahoo. Its report stated that the BSEK administrator made changes to 170 examination centres during the matric examinations currently underway in Karachi.

It also recommends that criminal proceedings be initiated against both officials through the Anti-Corruption Establishment, while suggesting action against other responsible officers of the board. The report stresses that disciplinary action against BSEK Secretary Naveed Gujar must be ensured in accordance with the rules.
