The committee will work impartially to resolve issues, and students and parents are encouraged to submit their grievances and suggestions to the Inter Board.

Earlier, Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) Chairman Ameer Qadri was been sacked following a recently sparked controversy after the results.

According to a notification issued here, Ameer Qadri was sacked as chairman of the Karachi intermediate board while Chairman Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) Sharf Ali was given the additional charge of the position.

An explanation has also been sought from Ameer Qadri for a without permission foreign tour. The chairman of the Karachi Intermediate Board was sacked after the approval of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, who also holds the concerned portfolio.

It is pertinent to mention here that many students have failed in the pre-engineering and pre-medical groups of intermediate examinations and they are now asked to submit scrutiny forms in large numbers at Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK).
