Theory exams for AKU board begin from May 14

The examination session have been moved forward because of the elections.

KARACHI: The theory exams for the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) will now start on May 14, instead of May 11, across the country.

The exam schedule for the Secondary Schools Certificate (Matric) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (Intermediate) has been revised to accommodate the upcoming general elections, said the AKU-EB associate director Karima Kara on Tuesday. He clarified that the initial timetable was made before the election dates were announced, which caused some confusion among the students.



AKU-EB’s May 2013 examination session will be conducted at 32 centres in 28 cities across Pakistan. Students will attempt exams in more than 90 subjects. The practical examinations for SSC have already been conducted as per schedule. However, those for HSSC will begin from May 7.

The revised timetable has been sent to all affiliated schools and colleges and also posted on AKU-EB’s website as a downloadable file: http://examinationboard.aku.edu/examinationservices/examinationtimetable
