Zero tolerance for cheating, BISE removes invigilators, reshuffles examination staff
FAISALABAD, Jun 22 (APP):Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) has intensified its crackdown
on malpractice during Intermediate Part-I Annual Examinations 2026 and removed examination officials for facilitating unfair means and took disciplinary action against dozens of supervisory staff to ensure complete transparency in the examination process.
BISE Controller Examinations Prof Rana Atiq-ur-Rehman said that protecting the future
of students and eliminating the cheating culture was foremost responsibility of the board.
He warned that all individuals involved in facilitating unfair means or attempting to
compromise the integrity of examinations would be brought to justice.
He stated this during a surprise visit to Examination Center No. 238-B where he ordered
the removal of a deputy superintendent and an invigilator after they were allegedly found
facilitating the candidates in solving examination papers through unfair means.
He said the BISE was strictly implementing zero-tolerance policy of Punjab Chief Minister
Maryam Nawaz and Divisional Commissioner/Chairperson BISE Faisalabad Madam
Musarrat Jabeen regarding examination transparency and eradication of cheating.
He said that all available resources were being utilized to ensure fair examinations
and provide the best possible facilities to students at examination centers.
Prof Rana Atiq-ur-Rehman informed that total 108,130 students were appearing in the
Intermediate Part-I Annual Examinations 2026. To facilitate candidates, the board had
established 324 separate examination centers for boys and girls across the districts
of Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Chiniot, preferably near their homes and
educational institutions, he added.
He said the board considered itself as the custodian of students’ futures and it was
committed to ensure that hardworking and deserving candidates received the rewards
of their efforts through a transparent and merit-based examination system.
Highlighting the board’s enforcement measures, he said that action had so far been
initiated against 15 members of supervisory staff through registration of cases or
recommendations for departmental proceedings. Similarly, 14 resident inspectors
and mobile inspectors were removed from their assignments for negligence and
dereliction of duty, he added.
He further disclosed that more than 80 superintendents and deputy superintendents
at over 40 examination centers had been reshuffled to strengthen oversight and remove
any possibility of irregularities. Likewise, 18 supervisory officials were replaced on
medical grounds and substituted with active and efficient personnel to ensure smooth
conduct of examinations, he added.
The controller directed all examination staff to discharge their responsibilities
with honesty, dedication and professionalism.
He urged them to immediately report any attempt to interfere with examination duties
to the board’s control room so that prompt action could be taken against those seeking
to undermine the examination system.
The strict monitoring would continue throughout the examination period and no compromise
would be made on merit, fairness and credibility of the examination process, he added.
