Pros & Cons of CIE. Situation of 1 exam centre in Karachi 2025

CONS of CIEs: 
  • No exam reschedule if it is cancelled. Sit at next exam or rely on numbers of one part of paper taken.
  • It’s getting expensive with time.
  • Papers have started to leak. Numbers were given based on one part only.
  • Marks may not be as per expectations.
  • Exam days are extremely hectic due to mismanagement
  • 2025, at least 1 exam started 20 min late.
  • Low seats in govt. univ.
  • No in-depth concepts are being given any more. May be 30 yrs ago but not now. Only focus on marks scheme & marks.
  • There definitely is brain washing aspect in the syllabus!
  • Going abroad? wahan bhee dour k dhol suhanay hein ab tu. kharcha pe kharcha. sari life labor, high taxes, no peace! ab to grave ki jagah bhee nehe bachi west mein...Rascism, LGBTQ, religion hate etc etc..live as 2nd 3rd degree beings regardless of your job position!
  • Aur kya ye paisa musalmaan k khilaaf istemaal nehe horeha?


PROS of CIEs: 
  • the only reason I opted CIE for my kids is flexibility in taking subjects & taking exams. Otherwise our homeschooling & learning could be jeopardized! time wasting everyday at school.
  • bahar ki uni mein admission milta hay? scholarship miltee hay? Acha tu pher? pher wohi labor ki zindagee? taxes etc etc...
  • Ab to washrooms or girls rooms, sports har jagah aadmi ghuss gaye hein protected by law in the name of gender equality LGBTQ...
  • Aur women, gents k wash rooms mein .... bhai deen dekh lo ya uni admission ka ghurur...
  • Apnay ko musalmaan kehnay per jahan sharmidagi hoti ho vahan kya lenay jaatay ho????
  • Han agar vapas aker kuch acha kerna hay to yeah foreign degree is fine but vaheen k ghulaam jeay tu kya jeay! bas zindagi kati aur pher fatiha hogaee woh bhee wesh mein naseeb hoe k nehe Allah janay.
