The results of the admission test conducted by NED University of Engineering and Technology have exposed serious weaknesses in the academic standards of Sindh’s public examination boards, particularly the Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE) and several boards in the interior of the province, while students from Cambridge, foreign examination systems and other independent boards recorded significantly higher success rates.
Speaking to The News, NED Vice Chancellor Dr Tufail said a large number of students who had secured more than 70% to 80% marks in the first year of intermediate examinations failed to qualify in the university’s admission test, raising serious questions about the credibility of marks awarded by some examination boards.
