Karachi Matric Exams 2026: Private Schools Demand Postponement Amid Administrative Challenges

Administrative challenges have emerged ahead of the Karachi matric board exams 2026, prompting the Grand Alliance of Private Schools Associations Sindh to call for a postponement and the announcement of a new schedule.

During an emergency meeting, the association reviewed concerns including incomplete arrangements and the non-issuance of admit cards for students scheduled to appear in the exams.

The alliance has formally urged Sindh Minister for Universities and Boards Muhammad Ismail Rahu to delay the exams, initially set to begin on 7 April, by at least one week.

The organisation stated that examination centres have not been finalised, logistical preparations remain incomplete, and many schools are still unaware of their designated centres. Furthermore, a large number of students have yet to receive their admit cards.

The alliance warned that with only one day remaining, completing all necessary preparations is not feasible, leaving students, teachers, and parents in distress. They emphasized that under current conditions, conducting fair and transparent exams for approximately 400,000 students would not be possible and called for immediate intervention to ensure a smooth and organised examination process.
