Good news for students of pre-engineering, pre-medical, and general science part I by the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK).
The pre-engineering, pre-medical, and general science part I students would receive up to 15% more marks, according to a decision made by the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK).
Justice (retd) Maqbool Baqar, the caretaker chief minister of Sindh, gave the order for the decision to be made. The fact-finding committee was established to look into the extremely low grades that intermediate part-I pupils were receiving this year. The caretaker CM accepted the committee’s findings.
In view of the committee’s findings to the CM, the BIEK in-charge of the IT sector was relieved of his duties. Judge (retd) Maqbool Baqar stated that the committee’s proposal led to the decision to provide pre-engineering, pre-medical, and general science students up to 15% more credit.
“Every student will receive an additional 15 marks in math, 12 in physics, chemistry, and statistics, and 6 in each of zoology and botany,” he announced.
Prior to the commencement of the school year, the committee suggested creating paper designs and a marking system. It said that these policies and procedures would be in place for a period of three years.
The officers were instructed by the interim chief minister to expand the number of document inspection centers in Karachi to ten.
He went on to say that in order to get rid of all kinds of errors, MCQ papers should be examined utilizing an optical marks recognition system. Additionally, CM Baqar emphasized the value of training for staff members, including for head examiners, examiners, and invigilators.
He stated, “The examinations in 2023 will be conducted by the IT manager, all deputy controllers, and the controller of examinations.”
According to BIEK’s results, which were made public on January 23, 80% of candidates were unsuccessful in the regular arts group, 72% in the private arts group, and 63% in the private commerce group.
Earlier results showed a success rate of only 36.51% for pre-medical candidates, 34.79% for pre-engineering candidates, and 38.69% for computer science candidates.
