LARKANA – The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Larkana has postponed the intermediate annual exams 2025.
Reports said the exams, which were scheduled to commence from April 29, has been delayed due to closure of roads.
As per the revised schedule, the intermediate exams would start from May 5 in the Larkana region of Sindh province.
The postponement of examinations will also lead to delay in results, which in turn will affect university admissions and the start of academic sessions.
Meanwhile, new examination dates have been confirmed by Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) for intermediate exams.
As per announcement from Karachi Board, pre-engineering, pre-medical and science general group exams will now start from May 6 or later.
Due to delay in the first phase of exams, the second phase, which includes Commerce and Arts, will also begin late. BIEK cited multiple reasons for the delay in exams including, unavailability of exam centres, changes in the previous first-year results due to grace marks, and the absence of a chairman at the board, resulting in lack of exam preparations.
As per information received from Board of Secondary Education Karachi, Matric exams will continue in Karachi until May 2. Many of the current exam centers are being used for matric exams and are also designated for the Intermediate exams. Therefore, after the matric exams conclude, these centers will be converted for Intermediate exams. Another reason for the delay is the change in previous first-year results due to grace marks.
Earlier, matric exams in Sindh were supposed to start on March 15 and Intermediate exams on April 8.
However, as the matric exams approached, some private school associations raised concerns that it would not be feasible for students to appeared in exams during the month of Ramazan.
Consequently, the Steering Committee held another meeting and approved the rescheduling of matric exams to April 8 after Eidul Fitr, with Intermediate exams to start the same day.
