The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore yet again faced humiliation as the positions in the humanities group were changed two days after the announcement of results, Pakistan Today learned on Sunday. The BISE Lahore chairman ordered an inquiry on the issue and suspended Computer Section in-charge Tariq Masood. According to the earlier announced positions, Sara Zahid stood first position with 940 marks, Sadia Arshad second with 933 marks while Neelum Shan was third with 917 marks. Candidate Sara Abbas’ marks were wrongly posted by the computer section. She had secured 93 marks in Education but because of the board’s negligence, 29 marks were added to her result instead which deprived her of the first position.
After correction in the system, Sara Abbas of Mansoora Girls College was declared first with 955 marks, Sarah Zahid of Ghazali College second with 940 marks and Sadia Arshad, a private candidate, third with 933 marks in the humanities group. Lahore Board Chairman Akram Kashmiri honoured Sara Abbas with a medal and cash prize. Several other students also complained about the computer system, saying their correct marks were not posted and they had to get their papers rechecked. Earlier, the BISE Lahore was criticised for inaccuracies in the online system as the Matriculation results were full of mistakes.
