HYDERABAD:
As controversy over alleged corruption and falsification in examination results surrounds the Mirpurkhas Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, the board has released a list of 2,539 candidates who were given undue favor in the results between 2021 and 2025. Chairman of the board, Colonel (R) Dr Muhammad Alamdar, informed in a press release on Saturday that in view of the revelations about widespread falsification of examination results, they are releasing a list of candidates who have obtained grades and certificates. by means of an undue favor.
The eight-page press release contains the year-wise seat numbers of the Higher Secondary School Certificate and Senior Secondary School Certificate students who passed the exams and received academic certificates from the board from 2021 to 2025. According to him, fake registrations, registrations and provision of other documents to catch the candidates also took place. He informed that the board has canceled the academic certificates which were issued to the candidates whose seat numbers appear in the list. He asked these students to disclose the names of officials of BISE Mirpurkhas and schools and colleges who played with their future by helping them obtain marks and certificates illegally.
Affected students were given 30 days to submit their objections to the controller’s reviews. Although the Mirpurkhas board has faced allegations of corruption and favoritism for many years, the recent arrest of Azam Khan, a staff member of a secret branch, and the related suspension of more than half a dozen officials, including former controller Anwar Aleem Khanzada, has exposed the situation.
Khanzada, son of MQM-P MP Abdul Aleem Khanzada who himself served as BISE Mirpurkhas president, is at the center of the controversy. He was suspended from his post as controller of examinations on March 9.
