Education authorities caught five students red-handed while attempting to cheat in the ongoing annual matriculation exams for grade 9 and booked them in cases on Thursday.
The district administration also imposed Section 144 at all examination centres to ensure greater transparency and tighten the examination system during the ongoing annual matriculation exams for grade 9.
The law prohibits the entry of irrelevant individuals, as well as the carrying of cheating materials, within 100 metres of the centres. Anyone violating this restriction will face legal action.
Rawalpindi Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (RBISE) Chairman Muhammad Adnan Khan visited examination centres in Rawalpindi during the grade 9 first annual exams. He checked candidates' roll number slips and the CCTV cameras.
After the visit, the chairman stated that Section 144 had been enforced at all centres, and any violation by irrelevant persons would lead to the immediate filing of an FIR.
He emphasised that all centers are under strict surveillance, and efforts to prevent cheating by the "booty mafia" will continue, ensuring that merit and fairness prevail in future exams as well.
Meanwhile, Examination Controller Tanveer Asghar Awan announced that the exams for the grade 9 first annual 2025 would take place as scheduled on March 28 (Friday) and April 4 (Friday).
