He said 529 examination centres had been established in all the five districts which come under the jurisdiction of BISE.

Transparency: Niazi said 3,000 officials had been appointed to conduct the examination. He said 248 examination centres had been set up for female candidates and 278 for male candidates.
He said the BISE also constituted monitoring teams to check the transparency at the examination centres. Workshops were organised in the BISE’s affiliated districts to impart special training to examination staff to ensure transparency, he added.
