The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has announced that the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) papers which could not be held on Monday (May 25) will now be conducted on May 29. The timings and centres will remain unchanged.

The HSC papers originally scheduled for April 30 and May 12 have already been rescheduled for May 27 and 28, respectively.

The candidates who failed to reach their centres on May 23 due to some transport problem in the city may take their paper on May 30, according to BIEK officials, who said that 95 per cent of registered candidates had succeeded in reaching their centres and taking the May 23 papers. They said the BIEK was making arrangements for holding the papers for the leftover candidates by setting up two exam centres, one for male and the other for female candidates.

The officials also announced May 30 as the new date of the May 14 papers for the candidates who were allocated Govt Ayesha Bawany College as their exam centre.

The papers could not be held as the college was blacklisted in the middle of the examination process.
