At North Nazimabad’s Block F Government Boys School, the absence of electricity has exacerbated the stress of the examination atmosphere for both students and educators. Furthermore, the enforcement of the ban on mobile phones at examination centers has been ineffective, allowing students to freely use their devices despite the education board’s prohibition.

The situation is further complicated by continuous reports of delays in the delivery of examination papers. Despite accusations of leaked papers, Board Chairman Sharaf Ali has dismissed such allegations. To address the challenges encountered by centers receiving papers late, the chairman has announced additional time allowances to compensate for delays. However, concerns persist regarding the integrity and efficiency of the examination process, especially regarding issues with paper distribution.

Earlier, there were reports of a leaked Grade 9 computer science paper circulating on social media platforms on the day of the examination. The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) is currently unable to verify the authenticity of the leaked paper, and ongoing investigations to determine its validity are increasing anxiety among students and authorities alike.
