Authorities confirmed the Urdu Compulsory Part‑II paper for the intermediate examinations in Karachi appeared online, raising immediate concerns about security and confidentiality procedures.
Reports indicated the paper circulated on social media shortly after the exam began, prompting questions about how confidential material was handled and safeguarded during distribution.
The incident renewed scrutiny of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi, with parents demanding accountability and clarity regarding whether the paper was compromised.
Parents further questioned responsibility for the breach, asking whether officials or examination staff would be held accountable if the paper was leaked before or during the exam.
Allegations resurfaced against the Karachi Board over ineffective action against cheating networks and malpractice, though no formal statement has yet been issued by board administration.
Earlier this month, it was reported that 170 examination centres were relocated during the matric exams, causing disruption and confusion for students across the city.
It also alleged that the chairman was directly involved in facilitating the relocation process alongside several individuals named in the inquiry findings submitted to authorities.
Agents and officials, including Manzoor Solangi, Imran Butt, Raja Fayyaz, and Miraj Ali, were identified as facilitating unauthorised changes to examination centre locations.
