Lahore Board Gets Thousands of Recheck Requests
In response to a high failure rate in the class nine exams, the Lahore Board has been inundated with thousands of online recheck requests from concerned students. The significant number of applications reflects widespread dissatisfaction and uncertainty among students about their exam results.
Recent reports indicate that a staggering 150,000 candidates failed the class nine exams administered by the Lahore Board. Of particular concern is the History of Pakistan paper, which experienced the highest failure rate. Only 12.5 percent of students who took this exam were able to pass, highlighting a troubling trend and raising questions about the assessment process.
The influx of recheck requests underscores the need for a thorough review of the examination results and prompts an urgent call for the Lahore Board to address the concerns of students and ensure fairness in the grading process.
The pass rates for various subjects in the class nine exams were as follows: Islamic History had a pass rate of 45 percent, General Math saw a 58 percent pass rate, and General Science had a pass rate of 60 percent. Chemistry had a higher pass rate at 62 percent, while Mathematics recorded a 63 percent pass rate. Civics had a pass rate of 66 percent, and Physics saw 69 percent of students passing.
Students have until August 24 to apply for rechecking. The recheck fee is set at Rs. 1400, which must be deposited in the bank, with the application submitted online. The Lahore Board will communicate the rechecking process to candidates via SMS.
The Lahore Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education officially released the results for the Class 9 exams yesterday. This year, 287,000 candidates participated in the exams.
According to Zahid Mian, the Controller of Examinations at the Lahore Board, more than 127,000 students successfully passed the exams, while 159,000 students did not pass. This underscores the challenging nature of the exams for many candidates this year.
