KARACHI:
If you did not get your admit card for the Matric exams beginning today, thank the governor for coming up with a solution. He gave permission for left out students to appear in the supplementary exams but their matriculation certificates will not bear the supplementary stamp.
The annual matriculation examinations are scheduled to begin on April 18, Monday, but many candidates have yet to receive their admit cards in order to appear for the exams.
The Matric Board only accepts forms before the deadline. However, some schools failed to meet it and their students did not get their admit cards, as a result.
Board of Secondary Education Karachi’s Anwar Ahmed Zai said that the organisation is doing all it can to help these students so that their academic year is not wasted. They do not want to give any potential “cheaters” a free pass, however, which is why officials are working overtime to ensure that only genuine, honest students are issued admit cards.
For their part, however, parents have pressed for the exams to be postponed by a week.
