Reports say the Biology paper for 10th-grade students in Karachi was leaked just 30 minutes before the exam was due to begin on Tuesday, raising serious concerns about exam security.
According to available information, the question paper started spreading on social media shortly before the exam time. Not long after, answer keys also began to circulate, which has added to worries about the reliability of the ongoing matric exams conducted by the Board of Secondary Education Karachi.
This situation has once again brought the examination system into question. Officials had earlier assured the public that strict steps were being taken to stop paper leaks and cheating during the annual exams. However, despite those claims, such incidents continue to happen and are weakening public trust in the system.

This is not the first incident reported during the current exam period. Earlier, the Class 9 computer studies paper, scheduled in the morning shift, was also reportedly leaked before the exam began. The incident led to criticism from students, parents, and others connected to the education sector.
With repeated reports of leaked papers, serious concerns are being raised about how secure the examinations really are and whether proper monitoring measures are in place under the Board of Secondary Education Karachi.
Education experts are now demanding a detailed investigation and stricter action against cheating to help rebuild confidence in the examination system.
