KARACHI, Aug 18: Board of Secondary Education, Karachi, officials said on Saturday that they had issued consolidated marks sheets to all schools and asked students to contact the Board if they could not collect the same.

“We have sent marks sheets to all the schools and students who have not received them from their schools may contact us,” a BSEK official told Dawn on Saturday.

The board official’s statement came after a number of students and parents complained to the media that they had not received marks sheets from their respective schools despite the fact that only a week remained in submission of forms for admission to colleges with the designated banks.

Earlier, the Centralised Admission Policy Committee had set Aug 21 as the last date for the submission of forms, which has now been extended to Aug 25 due to the delay in preparation and distribution of marks sheets by the BSEK.

Dr Rafique Ahmed Siddiqui, chairman of the CAP committee, said the 41 designated bank branches had sold more than 60,000 admission forms to the applicants. He estimated that over 30,000 more forms would be sold next week.

According to him, around 8,000 students had already filled and submitted the admission forms with the banks and the CAP committee would begin scrutinising them on Aug 22.

“We’ll start sitting at the CAP headquarters in the PECHS Girls College on Wednesday and scrutinize forms,” said Dr Siddiqui.
