LAHORE: Education board officials fail rather than students as grave mistakes are found in the examination papers of classes 9 and 10.

Class 10 students have appeared for their papers, while exams of class 9 are still ongoing. However, the number of mistakes in the examinations is appalling and makes people question the quality of education offered by Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BSEK), Lahore.

The mistakes were found in objective papers of various subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English. The mistakes have not only stressed the students but are likely to adversely affect the position holders.

In the objective papers of the subjects, many multiple choice questions (MCQs) had two correct answers while some questions right answer was not in the options available.

In the English objective examination, the first and second group had four objective questions with two correct answers. While in Biology, questions pertaining to number of bones, myelin sheath and sexual reproduction had all four wrong answers.

In, Chemistry PF3 objective part, the question and its translation in English and Urdu were asking different things.

In the Physic paper of class 9 students, the question and its translation had different meanings and their answers were wrong too.

Geo News contacted Lahore board Examination Controller Nasir Jameel and asked about the mistakes in the examinations. He said that the objective papers of all subjects are being investigated.

“If mistakes are found, then students will be given marks for them,” he assured.
