Replying to a question, she claimed that female students are better than their male counterparts at solving questions. “This is the reason why [girls] secure positions in annual exams.” Zubair – who has already enrolled in a Chartered Accountancy programme – said that rote-learning is not a long-lasting technique for studying. “The students should try to develop a habit of learning.” Mumtaz told the media that he had completed his O-Level and enrolled with BIEK Science Faculty but later shifted to the Commerce Faculty. “We must focus on becoming an educated person rather than studying only to get high marks, reputation or grades,” he said. “Social issues like division on ethnic and community bases in the society are major issues and should be addressed on priority basis.” In the Home Economics Part-I results, 290 students were registered and 266 candidates appeared in the exams of which 126 students passed all the seven papers.
