KARACHI, June 8: The Board of Intermediate Education, Karachi, remains indecisive on a proposal for holding any special examination for the left-over candidates of Intermediate classes at two private colleges.

A meeting of the Board officials, with chairman Prof Mohammad Shareef Memon in the chair, was held on Saturday to consider grant of permission for holding additional or special examinations for the candidates whose examinations forms either could not be submitted to the Board on time or were not accepted on technical ground.

Sources said that since the two private colleges had already approached the court of law, it was not possible for the Board to take any decision in this regard for the time being.

Any line of action in the case of the two colleges would be taken in the light of the court’s decision, added the source.

In the case of 11 Science group students of class XI at a higher secondary school in K. Area, Korangi, it was resolved that the students should be promoted to class XII (second year) in the academic session 2002-2003 by the college.

The students, whose examinations forms could not be submitted by the school to the Board on time, would be permitted to appear in the annual examination of 2003 in all the twelve papers of classes XI and XII of the Science group, the sources said, maintaining that the Board’s decision was in line with a recent order of the SHC.

It is believed that about 300 students of first year or second year could not appear in examinations this year.
