via thenews.com.pk – Excerpt: Top universities in the city are rejecting even high achievers of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK). And they feel they have good reason to do so too.
At the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), a top-notch business school of the country, 3,200 students sat the admission test this year. Only 300 managed to pass and 80 percent of them were students who had done their A-Level.
Many of the rejected candidates were students who had scored high in their intermediate exams but didn’t make the cut. “This disparity was not seen in students from the Aga Khan University Examination Board,” says the IBA director, Dr Ishrat Husain. “Those who had scored well in their school exams did well in the IBA’s aptitude test too.”
“Good school education translates into good university education and thus rewarding job prospects,” said Husain. “Unfortunately, due to the falling standards of the public education board, quality higher education is only available to parents who are already affluent.”

it is sad that the education standard in Pakistan has continously downgraded and it is no fault of the students,what they get from their teachers is what they are going to produce when put to a test,and obviously the root cause is the mininstery of education in pakistan and the policies that they have followed over the decades since independenceAlmost all the muslim schollars took great pains to set up international standard univesities in undiveded India, and the results have painned our hearts and there was a report in the times of india recently that the muslim share of the central govet jobs had gone down due to falling grades and withouf a solid education base there is little hope of social upliftment.
