With the announcement of the Intermediate pre-engineering results on Thursday, The Board of Intermediate Education, Karachi (BIEK) has revoked affiliation of four more private colleges that have failed to improve on their ‘zero per cent’ results over the last four years.
The colleges are Clifton High School and College for Women, Clifton; Ashrafi Intermediate College, Gulshan-e-Iqbal; Escribir College of Advance Studies, PECHS; and Jinnah Intermediate College for Girls.
“We will continue to remove substandard institutions from the list of BIEK-accredited colleges,” said BIEK chairperson Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai. “This business of wasting time and money of students needs to end. I direct parents not to get their children admitted into these institutions.”
Earlier, on August 11, the BIEK chairperson had announced disaffiliation of four other colleges: Allama Iqbal Intermediate Girls College, Steel Town; Al Hadeed College for Science, Commerce and Arts, Gulshan-e-Hadeed; Askari Intermedaite College, Gulshan-e-Hadeed; and The Paradise College, North Nazimabad.
