Prompt action was taken by the Malakand Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) following reports of an exam paper leak at a women’s examination center mere minutes before the start of the examination.
The event led to the immediate dismissal of the entire exam staff, including the superintendent, from their responsibilities.
Muhammad Nasim Khan, the Controller of Examinations, along with a specialized oversight team, conducted an emergency visit to the women’s examination center located in the Kumbar Maidan area for an on-site investigation. The visit substantiated the claims of the paper leak.
In a decisive response, Khan ordered the immediate removal of all examination staff from the center and delegated their duties to a fresh team. He additionally directed the establishment of a committee to conduct an in-depth inquiry into the unfortunate event. The prime objective of this investigation is to pinpoint those accountable and initiate legal proceedings against them.

According to Khan, the board had received a public complaint about the leak of objective type questions shortly before the commencement of the intermediate examinations. These leaked questions were reportedly being circulated on WhatsApp groups. To authenticate these claims, he conducted an unexpected inspection of the examination hall, accompanied by a team of women. Their visit corroborated that the paper had indeed been leaked a quarter of an hour prior to the start time.
Khan reiterated his commitment to stringent disciplinary action against anyone found culpable in the investigation’s report, thus maintaining the sanctity of the examination process.
