The first phase of annual exams of the pre-engineering, pre-medical and science general group of part I and II were schedule to being on April 28. Now, they will now start from May 6 or later, reports cited sources as having said.
The delay in the first phase will ultimately affect the exams of Commerce and Arts Group, which were to be taken in second phase.
The board officials said the decision has been taken due to unavailability of exam centres, change in results of first-year results due to grace marks decision and others.
It all started when the schedule of matric exams, which were to start on March 15, were delayed after some private schools associations argued that it would be difficult for students to appear in exams during the holy month of Ramazan.
Keeping in view the concerns, the Steering Committee of the board approved a new schedule for matric exams, stating that they will begin on April 8.
The matric exams are set to conclude on May 2 and later the exam centres will be available for inter exams.
