“Last year, the government stopped conducting supplementary exams on a semester-wise basis. This has left over a thousand students in limbo, unable to complete their diploma courses and advance in their education. It is an injustice that must be rectified immediately,” said Ali.

He also pointed out the government’s unreasonable decision to hold three exams in a single day for students, a practice that has created a logistical nightmare for those already under immense pressure. “How can students be expected to write three exams in a day? This is not only unfair but also mentally and physically exhausting. It’s an impossible situation,” Ali added.
