Top positions go to girls once again
Islamabad, Aug 28: This year's Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE)
Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Part-II Annual Examination
results are no different from the last ones, as girls emerged as toppers
by and large. As announced, the Higher Secondary School
Certificate Part-II examination results on Monday, 10 of the 15 top
three positions in the pre-engineering, pre-medical, humanities, science
general and commerce groups went to girls. Most
high-achievers belonged to the military-run and private educational
institutions. Last year, too, 10 of these positions were clinched by
girls. The overall pass percentage in the examination improved. It was
72.3 per cent last year but has gone up to 76.65 per cent this year with
37,800 of the 54,253 candidates passing the examination, which was held
in April and May this year. In the pre-engineering group,
Maryum Asad of Hamza Army Public School and College, Rawalpindi,
secured the first position by securing 1018 out of 1100 marks. She was
followed by Soban Ahmad of Islamabad Model College for Boys, G-10/4,
Islamabad, with 1016 marks, and Aminah Siddique of Army Public School
and College for Girls, Humayun Road, Rawalpindi, and Talha Rehman of the

apply for the rechecking of their papers in the next 30 days. He said the HSSC-II supplementary examination would begin on November 11. The
controller said fresh candidates weren't allowed to sit in the
examination, but those wanting to improve their grades or marks or take
examination in additional subject(s) could do so. Minister
of State for Education and Professional Training Balighur Rehman, who
was the chief guest of the results announcement ceremony on the FBISE
premises, congratulated toppers for passing the examination with honours
and asked them to keep it up for promising career and thus,
contributing to national progress. At the same time, he urged
unsuccessful candidates not to lose heart and make every effort to pass
the examination next time. The news

HEC seeks feedback on revised criteria for ranking
Islamabad: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has invited all the
public and private institutions of the higher education in the country
to provide feedback on the revised criteria for the ranking of the
universities. The criteria have been revised by a committee of experts to
address the concerns expressed by the universities about the ranking
criteria and ranking process employed in the last two rankings conducted
by the HEC. Due consideration has been given in the revised criteria to
the comments and recommendations received from the universities from
the earlier rankings. The HEC has also conducted a thorough review of
the ranking process to enhance transparency in the future. The ranking
provides one of the mechanisms for the assessment of quality of teaching
and research in the country and ensure the enhancement of quality of
the higher education through healthy competition between the
universities. The ranking criteria is based on several factors, including
adherence to quality assurance criteria in the appointment of the
faculty members, faculty development, student intake, quality of MS and
PhD programmes, graduates produced, implementation of plagiarism policy,
research projects, research publications, quality of research journals,
national and international awards, conferences organised, and
academia-industry linkages. HEC Chairman Mukhtar Ahmed has stressed that
the criteria for the next ranking would be finalised on the basis of
feedback received from the universities. "Feedback from the universities
is important to ensure that ranking is more meaningful and useful for
all the stakeholders. It should truly reflect the quality of teaching and research in Pakistan's institutions of higher education," he said.
