Karachi matric exams 2026 major update

Serious administrative challenges have emerged ahead of Karachi matric board exams, prompting the Grand Alliance of Private Schools Associations Sindh to demand a postponement and announcement of a new schedule.

An emergency meeting of the association was held to review the situation, particularly concerns over incomplete arrangements and the non-issuance of admit cards for Karachi matric exams.

The organisation has urged Sindh Minister for Universities and Boards, Muhammad Ismail Rahu, to delay the exams, which are due to begin on 7 April, by at least one week.

It stated that examination centres have not been finalised, logistical arrangements remain incomplete, and many institutions are still unaware of their designated centres. In addition, admit cards for a large number of students have yet to be issued.

The alliance warned that, with only one day remaining, it is not feasible to complete all necessary preparations, leaving students, teachers and parents in a state of distress.

It further noted that under the current circumstances, conducting fair and transparent examinations for around 400,000 students would not be possible, and called for immediate intervention to ensure a smooth and organised examination process.
