The Chairman of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (biek) has announced that the intermediate exams in #Karachi, originally scheduled for May 28, will now start on June 1 due to the recent #hot weather. This decision follows logistical difficulties and a conflict with the rescheduled matriculation exams. In an official statement, the Chairman explained that the board has requested a four-day #extension for the exam dates. This request has been submitted to the Minister of Education Boards and Universities for approval. “Given the circumstances, it is not feasible to conduct the intermediate exams from May 28,” the Chairman stated. “We have sought #permission to delay the exams to June 1 to ensure a smooth process and avoid overlapping with the matriculation exams.” The Chairman highlighted the logistical issues, noting that 21 higher secondary #schools were designated as centers for both the intermediate and matriculation exams. Initially, the intermediate exams were planned for the morning, and the matriculation exams in the evening at these centers. However, the severe #heatwave in Karachi caused the matriculation exams to be postponed to May 28. This overlap created an untenable situation, making it #impossible to hold both sets of exams simultaneously at the same venues. “Conducting exams for both boards at the same time in these 21 centers is impractical,” the Chairman emphasized. “The #heat has already disrupted the matriculation schedule, necessitating this adjustment for the #intermediate exams.” To resolve the issue and finalize the new schedule, the Minister of #Education Boards and Universities has convened a meeting today. The Chairman of the #Matriculation Board will also attend to coordinate efforts and ensure all #exams proceed without further disruptions.

📢 Addressing a Critical Issue at SZABIST University - Islamabad Campus Dear SZABIST Management, Alumni, and Current Students, As a proud member of the SZABIST community, I am compelled to raise a pressing concern affecting the 2023-2024 graduates. Despite successfully completing our Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and receiving our diplomas, we have not yet received our security fees. It has been a staggering 7 months since graduation. What’s more troubling is the lack of response from the management to our repeated emails. It’s astonishing that the same institution that strictly enforces fee deadlines during registration now seems indifferent to our rightful refunds. We wonder what is preventing SZABIST’s finance and management teams from returning our money, especially as its value diminishes with time. This delay is teaching us an unintended lesson about financial irresponsibility in an educational setting. Moreover, it raises serious questions about communication and accountability within the institution. Why are the CEO and Heads of Departments not addressing this lapse in response to student queries? Such behavior reflects poorly on the institution’s values and its commitment to its students. We humbly request that the SZABIST management urgently address this matter and provide a clear timeline for when we can expect our security fee refunds. Our patience has been stretched thin, and we have already waited 4 months since convocation, or 7 months if we include the post-convocation clearance period. Please show empathy and responsibility towards the students who have dedicated years to their education at SZABIST -Islamabad Campus. An immediate resolution or at least an announcement regarding the refund distribution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
