The Secondary Education Board exams are currently underway in Karachi, with the 9th and 10th-grade students sitting for their exams. However, the transparency of the exams has raised concerns, with the board’s administration being accused of making claims without backing them up. In a move to ensure the integrity of the exams, the board has made the English paper for the 10th-grade available on social media before the exam. On the other hand, the board officials claim that section 144 has been imposed around the exam centers.
It is worth noting that in the past, the physics paper for the 9th-grade was leaked 30 minutes before the exam, and the biology paper for the 10th-grade was also leaked a day before the exam. The Secondary Education Board exams in Karachi began on April 10th.
