Karachi matric exams postponed to April 10

The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) has postponed the matriculation examinations until April 10, it said on Sunday.

The examinations, earlier scheduled for April 7, will now commence from April 10.

The alliance of private schools claimed that the examinations were delayed due to the non-issuance of admit cards on time.

The development follows a demand by the alliance to reschedule the matriculation examinations, citing incomplete arrangements and lack of preparedness.

The private schools' alliance said that examination centres have not yet been finalised and admit cards have not been issued, raising concerns ahead of the scheduled exams.

The organisation further stated that examination materials have not been dispatched and that there is still no clarity regarding centres, while other arrangements also remain incomplete.

However, a spokesperson for the matriculation board had said that all arrangements for the examinations have been completed and admit cards have already been uploaded on the board’s website.

According to the spokesperson, admit cards for private candidates had also been dispatched to their residential addresses.
