KARACHI:
The doors of higher education opened up for as many as 17,810 students as the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) announced the examination results for the pre-engineering and computer science groups on Thursday, with around 60 per cent of the students, who had undertaken the exams, passing them.
The girls managed to replay last year’s performance, dispelling the impression that they could not handle higher-level mathematics and computer sciences as well as the boys do, by bagging four of the top six positions in the pre-engineering group and sweeping the top five positions in the computer science group.
Pre-engineering group
For the 27,264 students of the pre-engineering group who sat their exams in May this year, around 61 per cent of them had reason to celebrate as they passed and managed to keep their dreams intact. Comparing this year’s results with those from the previous year, the BIEK examinations controller, Imran Khan Chishti, said that the overall pass percentage increased by four points from 57 per cent, last year.
Munazza Khan, of the St Lawrence’s Government Girls Degree College, was awarded the first position with 89.73 per cent marks, followed by Zain Nasir (89.64 per cent) from Adamjee Government Science College. The 3rd position was tied between Rimsha Muhammad Naeem from the BAMM PECHS Government College for Women and Syed Ahsan Adeeb from Aga Khan Higher Secondary School as both of them scored 89.09 per cent marks.
Despite the fact that girls secured most of the top positions, boys at the Adamjee College outshined their counterparts at over 200 other institutions as around 55 per cent of the total 515 students of the institution secured ‘A-1’ grades. The percentage of Adamjee students who scored ‘A-1’ and ‘A’ grades stood at an astonishing 92 per cent.
Not far behind Adamjee College were the students of the BAMM PECHS Government College for Women, 87 per cent of whom secured ‘A-1’ and ‘A’ grades.
Computer Science
Of the 2,070 students who undertook the computer science group exams, nearly 53 per cent passed, compared to the 41 per cent last year.
Meanwhile, the top-five positions were bagged by the girl students with Syeda Mehak Fatima from College of Emerging Technologies securing the first position by scoring 85.18 per cent marks. Another student of the same college, Nimra Amin, was tied at the 2nd position with Musfirah Abdullah from DA Degree College for Women. Ayesha Nawab from the DA Degree College for Women bagged the third position.
