HSC annual examination begins
KARACHI: Long spells of load shedding only added to the anxiety of exam-frightened candidates on Monday, when the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Annual Examination 2011 of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) begun in the city.
Hundreds of thousands of candidates sweated endlessly due to difficult papers and long spells of load shedding in the hot and humid weather.
More than 155,000 male and female candidates of Science Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, Home Economics, Medical Technology and Commerce group appeared in the examination at 90 centres, set up in different colleges of the city.
The Centre Coordinator Officers (CCOs) distributed question paper and answer copies before the starting paper under close monitoring of BIEK administration.
On Monday, the first day of exams, candidates appeared in the papers of Pakistan Studies (Compulsory) for Home Economics Group, Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical and Medical Technology Group candidates in the morning shift, while in the evening shift Commerce Group candidates appeared in the paper of Principle of Commerce.
Due to electricity load shedding both male and female students faced a lot of difficulties, as there was not alternate arrangement of standby power generator at the exam centres. At some exam centres no police or Rangers personnel were seen for providing security to students and teachers.
BIEK Chairman Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai along with Controller Examination Mohammad Imran Khan Chishti paid surprise visits to different examination centres of the city. He also monitored all facilities being provided to the candidates including furniture and drinking water.
During the visit Prof Zai told media that the board had informed in written to the administration of Karachi Electric Supply Company, requesting it to exempt the examination centres from load shedding but in vain. He said that the BIEK had also written to the Sindh Home Department for providing adequate security outside the examination centres, but the result remained the same. ppi
