The Board of Intermediate Education, Karachi (BIEK), has made a significant announcement, reducing the scrutiny fee for papers by half. This decision comes in response to the growing concerns of students and parents regarding the transparency of exam results.
New Rechecking Fee Structure
To make it easier for students to apply for paper scrutiny, BIEK has revised the fee structure.
| Fee Type | Previous Fee | Revised Fee | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scrutiny per Subject | Rs1,000 | Rs500 | 50% |
This reduction in fees aims to relieve financial pressure on students and ensure a fair evaluation process.
Key Dates and Process
Students must adhere to the following timeline and procedure to avail of the revised fees:
| Activity | Details |
|---|---|
| Last Date for Submission | February 3, 2025 |
| Form Availability | Download from the official BIEK website |
| Submission Process | Submit forms and fees at special counters in the Board office |
The board has also set up special counters to assist students in completing the process with ease.
Reason Behind the Decision
The fee reduction is a response to widespread dissatisfaction with the 11th-grade exam results under the Karachi Intermediate Board. Concerns about potential errors in the marking and tabulation process led to protests by students, parents, and political parties.
Formation of an Inquiry Committee
In light of the grievances, the Chairman of BIEK has announced the formation of an inquiry committee. The committee will investigate and address the issues raised about the accuracy of results and the overall examination process.
This move by the Karachi Intermediate Board demonstrates its commitment to maintaining transparency and addressing student concerns. The new fee structure is expected to encourage more students to opt for scrutiny, ensuring fairness in their academic journey.
