Provincial Health Advisor Ehtesham Ali has taken strict notice of the mismanagement in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Paramedical Faculty examinations and announced further tightening of the examination process.
In a telephonic conversation with the Acting Chief Executive of the Paramedical Faculty, Dr. Abid Hussain, the health advisor instructed him to make the examination process more stringent.
The health advisor emphasized solid steps to prevent the use of electronic devices and impersonation in the examination halls.
He stated that conducting examinations in public institutions instead of private colleges for the first time is a significant achievement.
Although there are initial challenges, moving examination halls from private to public institutions is no less than a challenge.
On the instructions of the health advisor, Dr. Abid Hussain has issued orders to the examination staff across the province.
He directed that candidates arriving more than five minutes after the start of the MCQs paper should not be allowed to enter the hall, and thorough checking of students should be ensured.
He also instructed strict measures to prevent the use of mobile phones and Bluetooth devices, including thorough searches of candidates and, if necessary, deployment of police around the examination halls.
The acting chief executive emphasized that any mobile phone seized during the examination would not be returned, and directed measures be taken to match the roll number photos with the candidates to prevent impersonation.
He warned that legal action could be taken against staff for non-compliance with the pre-provided SOPs for the examination halls.
