BS, BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc to study the same course at KU
BS or BSc (Hons)? They’re all the same at KU
Students of BS, BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc to study the same course
BS credit hours reduced from 138 to 126; BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc credit hours increased from 120 to 126
KARACHI - There is some confusion in the University of Karachi (KU) over the Higher Education Commission (HEC)’s decision to continue the Bachelor of Science (BS) programme after the varsity announced that the students of BS, BA (Hons) and BSc (Hons) would study the same course in the coming academic session.
KU had started the BS programme, a four-year academic course equal to MA and MSc, after the HEC’s pressure and cancellation of BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc courses in 2007, but the varsity has decided to give more options to new candidates in the coming academic sessions so they could also apply for the degrees of BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc.
The varsity reverted its decision amid protests of the first batch of BS students, who claimed that they have failed to fulfil the requirements of the international degree and are also facing difficulties in obtaining jobs in the local market.
The matter was put before the KU Academic Council, which decided that the varsity would continue the BS, BA (Hons) and BSc (Hons) courses so that the students have more options.
However, it is unclear if there would be separate classes for BS students or if they would study with BA (Hons) and BSc (Hons) students.
It was decided that the credit hours of BS students would be reduced from 138 to 126, and the credit hours of BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc would be increased from 120 to 126.
It was also decided that the students of BS, BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc would study the same course.
The teachers of the varsity are concerned because some subjects were added in the BS programme with the approval of the KU Academic Council, but these additional subjects it were removed without prior approval of council.
The BS students of the Arts discipline would have to study some introductory Science courses, whereas those enrolled in the Science discipline would have to study some introductory Arts courses, added the teachers.
They said there would be no distinction between local and international degrees if the students of BS, an international course, would also study the courses of BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc.
If these additional courses are not necessary for BS students, then why did the varsity impose these subjects on the first batch of BS students in 2007, they added.
KU Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Shahana Urooj Kazmi said reduction in credit hours means reduction in courses.
She said when the HEC had started the BS programme, it had told KU that the varsity could set credit hours between 126 and 138, and the academic council had approved 138 credit hours.
She also said when the council approved 138 credit hours, the varsity decided to add some optional subjects, and this was KU’s self-imposed condition.
She further said when the varsity decided to run both local and international courses, KU decided to increase credit hours of BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MA and MSc from 120 to 126, and the credit hours of BS was reduced from 138 to 126.
Kazmi said with the reduction in BS credit hours, KU had asked deans of all faculties to call a meeting of chairpersons of all departments and decide which subjects should be removed.
She said the chairpersons of the departments concerned, after consultation with senior professors of their respective departments, have prepared a list of those subjects that are unnecessary and were made compulsory after the academic council had decided on 138 credit hours for the BS programme.
Therefore, she added, the varsity has removed the extra subjects. “Why was the last batch of BS students forced to study these extra subjects is a matter of grave concern, though,” Kazmi said.
She said this not only caused ambiguities, but also increased the cost of study. KU had to hire extra teachers and arrange for extra rooms for teaching these subjects that have no link to the students’ majors, Kazmi said.
For example, she added, BS students of Islamic Learning were asked to study Environment Sciences and Statistics, both of which have no link to their major, and as a result, the students have failed to pass these extra subjects. pKISTAN TOday

Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) show answer sheets to parents of protesting students
BIEK to show answer sheets to parents of protesting students
A group of youngsters staged a demonstration against the management of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) on Wednesday in front of the Sindh Assembly, alleging that results issued by the Board were inaccurate.
The protesters initially gathered at the Karachi Press Club to protest against the results of the Science Group Part-I (Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering).
Later, the protesting students attempted to stage a sit-in in front of the Sindh Assembly with the intent of drawing the attention of provincial lawmakers. However, law enforcement personnel did not allow them to stage the sit-in.
“The BIEK authorities are not cooperating with us and are not interested in listening to us”, said one of the protesters. “On Saturday, December 3, a group of students went to the Board office to lodge a protest against the inaccurate results. Instead of listening to our problems, some of the Board’s employees started beating us up. The chairman BIEK was not present at his office and no other senior officer came out of their offices to look into the matter,” he said.
The protesters asked the BIEK chief to investigate the matter and take departmental action against the people who were involved in beating the students.
They also demanded that the Board announced error-free results. In reaction, BIEK’s Controller of Examinations Muhammad Imran Khan Chishti said that the students should focus on their studies and prepare for the annual examinations instead of staging protests.
“The result is accurate and authentic. The Board is ready to show the answer scripts to the parents of the students who have reservations regarding their results,” he told The News. “Although releasing answer scripts is against the BIEK’s policy, the Board would provide answer scripts to the parents so that they can see their children’s performance in the exams,” he said.
Chishti said the BIEK would not facilitate the people protesting on the streets. “This approach might work in Punjab but it would not help the students of Karachi. Those who solve their papers properly get good marks.”
He added that “the BIEK has recently introduced a new question paper pattern, in which, multiple choice questions (MCQs) and short question sections have a greater proportion than descriptive questions.” He claimed students could achieve cent percent marks by correctly solving the MCQs. the news

Sindh government to seek control of devolved institutions
Sindh to seek control of devolved institutions
The Sindh government on Wednesday decided to approach the Council of Common Interests (CCI) to gain administrative control of the institutions devolved to provinces but still retained by the federal government.
Two separate meetings were chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Chief Secretary Raja Muhammad Abbas to deliberate upon what an official called partial devolution of 18 departments under the 18th Amendment.
The departments concerned were directed to prepare the case as per the decision of the Devolution Cabinet Committee (DCC) on July 6, 2011 so that a summary could be moved for the upcoming CCI meeting.
The DCC had decided that the “federal government shall be urged to effect the devolution in its totality, as per the spirit of the 18th Amendment, by taking up the issue of partial devolution before the CCI.
“The DCC had also decided that the affected departments should make out their cases/claims fully defendable, duly corroborated by the legal provisions and then refer them to the law department for examination/opinion, prior to raising them before the CCI.”
Sources told The News that the meetings were informed that the Centre had retained several institutions of the devolved departments. In the Health Department, institutions such as the Dental Council, National Council for Tab and Homeopathy, Tobacco Control, Drugs etc have been retained by the Centre. Similarly in the Sports Department, the Youth Hostel and a coaching centre located in Karachi have been retained. The Population Welfare Department’s two centres – the National Institute of Fertility Care and the CWNS — also located in Karachi have been retained by the federal government.
Livestock and Fisheries Department’s centre in the city had also not been handed over to the provincial government. Of particular concern were the Workers Welfare Fund and the EOBI of the Labour Department, sources said.
The sources said there was a difference of opinion among the Centre and the provinces over distribution of financial assets of these institutions and distribution of fixed assets owned by autonomous bodies and attached departments.
They said that a team of experts recently briefed top bureaucrats of Sindh at the Sindh Secretariat about the opportunities and challenges of the devolution process. As per a copy of the presentation obtained by The News, deletion of Federal Legislative List (FLL) to balance functional responsibilities between the Centre and provinces, recognising Sales Tax on Services and Capital Value Tax (CVT) on immovable property as provincial subjects, enhancing the role of the Council of Common Interest and the National Economic Council (NEC) and strengthening the office of the Auditor General of Pakistan were some of the benefits of the 18th Amendment.
However, the experts’ report said that the benefits of the devolution will be realised only when there was a “right set of human resources, accountability to people being served, work within regulatory framework that circumscribes actions, well-developed and articulated linkages defining intergovernmental financial relations and access to financial resources needed to
provide services people require.” the news

The Sindh government on Wednesday decided to approach the Council of Common Interests (CCI) to gain administrative control of the institutions devolved to provinces but still retained by the federal government.
Two separate meetings were chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Chief Secretary Raja Muhammad Abbas to deliberate upon what an official called partial devolution of 18 departments under the 18th Amendment.
The departments concerned were directed to prepare the case as per the decision of the Devolution Cabinet Committee (DCC) on July 6, 2011 so that a summary could be moved for the upcoming CCI meeting.
The DCC had decided that the “federal government shall be urged to effect the devolution in its totality, as per the spirit of the 18th Amendment, by taking up the issue of partial devolution before the CCI.
“The DCC had also decided that the affected departments should make out their cases/claims fully defendable, duly corroborated by the legal provisions and then refer them to the law department for examination/opinion, prior to raising them before the CCI.”
Sources told The News that the meetings were informed that the Centre had retained several institutions of the devolved departments. In the Health Department, institutions such as the Dental Council, National Council for Tab and Homeopathy, Tobacco Control, Drugs etc have been retained by the Centre. Similarly in the Sports Department, the Youth Hostel and a coaching centre located in Karachi have been retained. The Population Welfare Department’s two centres – the National Institute of Fertility Care and the CWNS — also located in Karachi have been retained by the federal government.
