Ensuring Exam Integrity – A Step Towards Fair Assessment:

The move by BISE Lahore is aimed at preserving the credibility and transparency of examinations. The widespread availability of guess papers and pairing schemes not only creates unfair advantages but also undermines the education system.

To ensure compliance, authorities are advised to:
Monitor and report social media groups sharing exam materials.
Educate students and teachers on the legal consequences of circulating such content.
Promote ethical study practices to discourage reliance on unauthorized exam materials.
