He said in a statement that the intermediate exams could not be held starting on May 28 and would instead begin on June 1.

The BIEK chairman declared that simultaneous administration of the matric and intermediate tests in the same locations was not feasible.

Memon stated that the board has asked the minister of education for permission to prolong the tests by four days. He indicated that the matric tests were set for the evening, and the inter exams were to be held in the morning in the centers.

Due to the prevailing heatwave, the Sindh government earlier scheduled five days for the province’s intermediate exams to be rescheduled.

As suggested by Muhammad Ali Malkani, the provincial minister for universities and boards, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah allowed the postponement.

Alert for heat waves
The heat wave that has engulfed Karachi for the past few weeks has left the city’s residents in agony, and during the next ten days, a notable increase in temperature is anticipated.

The country could see three heatwaves in different cities over the course of the next 25 days, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s forecast.

According to the advice, most of the country will experience heatwave conditions from May 21 to May 27, with Punjab and Sindh seeing particularly intense heatwave conditions from May 23 to May 27 due to high pressure in the upper atmosphere.

In Sindh and Punjab, daytime temperatures are “likely to remain 4 to 6 degrees centigrade above normal” from May 21 to May 23, and six to eight degrees Celsius from May 23 to May 27.
