Sindh Announces Strict Action Against Exam Cheating

The Sindh government has announced strict action against students and examination staff involved in cheating during board exams, following serious concerns raised during the ongoing matriculation examinations in Karachi.

The exams have been affected by widespread allegations of cheating, paper leaks, and bribery, raising questions about the credibility of the examination system.

In a joint statement, Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah and Minister for Universities and Boards Muhammad Ismail Rahu declared a zero-tolerance policy against cheating. They made it clear that any student found involved in dishonest practices will face severe consequences.

According to the ministers, students caught cheating will be immediately expelled from the examination hall. Their papers will be cancelled, and they will be barred from appearing in any current or future board examinations.

They further warned that possession of mobile phones or any cheating material during exams will result in instant disqualification.

The government also announced strict measures against examination staff. Any invigilator, internal or external examiner, or administrative official found facilitating cheating will face departmental action and may be dismissed from service.

In addition, monitoring systems at examination centres will be strengthened. The government has warned that any form of interference or malpractice will be dealt with firmly.
