SSC annual exams kick off with leaked paper, late start and blame game
July 6, 2021
Before the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Annual Examinations 2021 began on Monday, the first question paper of physics had been leaked on WhatsApp groups, and later widely spread on other social media platforms.
Moreover, centre control officers (CCOs) and invigilators could not ensure timely delivery of question papers to several examination centres. Board officials have suspended a number of examiners posted at various centres over administrative negligence.
Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) Chairman Syed Sharaf Ali Shah had forwarded a letter to the law enforcement agencies through the district administration on Friday, asking that Section 144 be enforced at all the exam centres to prevent external interference. Photostat shops would also be kept closed during exam hours.

And then when the papers finally arrived, they were snatched from the students’ hands after a few minutes as it was revealed that the paper had been leaked on social media.
