The 9th class mathematics examination paper was allegedly leaked on social media before the start of the exam, raising serious concerns over examination security in the city.
According to reports, the paper circulated widely across multiple social media platforms and was also shared in various WhatsApp groups along with suggested answers before students entered examination halls.
Despite strict measures under Section 144 imposed by the Sindh Home Department, mobile phones were reportedly used freely by students and visitors inside and around examination centres. The authorities had declared all exam centres as restricted zones to ensure fair conduct of matriculation and intermediate examinations.
The Sindh government had already banned public entry into examination centres and restricted mobile phone usage during exam hours. Only candidates with admit cards and authorized staff were permitted inside.
The incident has once again highlighted concerns regarding enforcement failures by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Karachi and monitoring agencies responsible for preventing cheating and paper leaks.
