THE students of Balochistan Higher Secondary School Certificate could not appear in the F.Sc Pre-Engineering exam owing to the prevalent Covid-19 pandemic. The Balochistan government announced that students would be promoted to the next class without sitting the exam. It was also decided that the students would be given marks according to their previous class marks along with three per cent additional marks.

Meanwhile the leading universities have announced admissions. The students from Balochistan cannot apply because their result has not been announced. They are in a quandary and urge the education authorities to announce the result as they fear the waste of their academic year.
