The report also confirmed that the leaked paper was being sold on Reddit and other social media platforms. The private media channel tried to contact the country head of the Cambridge Education System, Uzma Yousuf, but she didn’t respond.
However, earlier in Karachi, the annual papers of Matric and Intermediate got leaked several times.
Intermediate paper leak
Earlier, the annual intermediate examinations under the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Karachi (BIEK) began on Wednesday, but the process was marred by a paper leak on the very first day.
According to reports, the Botany paper was leaked on social media shortly after the exam began. Later, a solved version of the same paper also surfaced in various WhatsApp groups, raising serious concerns about the transparency of the examination process.
The exams are being conducted under a new policy, which includes a 30-page paper to be attempted within three hours. Additionally, candidates are provided a 20-page answer booklet for a two-hour section. A Digital Attendance Monitoring System has also been introduced to improve oversight during the examinations.
BIEK officials stated that the intermediate exams will be conducted in phases.
Meanwhile, the board has advised students who have not received their admit cards by April 25 to obtain duplicate copies from the relevant section at the board office.
Candidates applying for duplicate admit cards are required to present their examination form and fee payment receipt, registration card or proof of registration submission, along with a photocopy of their matriculation mark sheet.
