FAISALABAD, June 23: Scores of private candidates have been moving from pillar to post to get their matriculation result cards for getting admissions to colleges.

Dawn learnt on Sunday the local Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has yet to issue result cards to a majority of students after a week.

A group of parents told this correspondent that the board employees had not issued result cards of their children as they refused to grease their palms.

“There was nobody at the complex to listen to the requests of students,” they said. They quoted board officials as saying the result cards had already been dispatched and we are not responsible for non-delivery.

The parents alleged the employees concerned were issuing duplicate result cards to only those students who offered them illegal gratifications.

Almost all the colleges had fixed June 25 as the last date for submission of admission forms for first year, they said, adding a majority of students had not received cards so far.

They demanded an inquiry should be conducted against the high-ups of BISE which they claimed had become a den of corruption. The BISE announced matriculation results on June 15. Around 74,644 candidates appeared in the examination. Of those, 31,803 were private candidates.
