Intermediate examinations in Karachi will now be held on June 1 after the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) rescheduled them again today.
Last week, the Sindh chief minister’s spokesperson confirmed that exams, initially planned for May 22, would start on May 27. The second rescheduling follows matriculation exams being postponed until May 28 due to a heatwave alert.
Twenty-one higher secondary schools designated as centres for matric exams also serve as centres for intermediate exams. The notice clarified that conducting both exams simultaneously at these schools was not feasible. Therefore, the BIEK rescheduled the annual intermediate Part I and II exams.
The new date applies to subject groups, including pre-medical, pre-engineering, general science, and home economics.
Candidates will sit for exams on the revised date, including those appearing for regular, supplementary, improvement of grade, TP (12 papers), additional subjects, short subjects, and special chance exams.
