The Rawalpindi Board has intensified actions against exam cheating under a zero tolerance policy driven by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s vision for a transparent, merit‑based system. Following directives from Chief Secretary Zahid Zaman and Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat, the board’s enforcement teams are carrying out surprise inspections across examination centres to ensure strict adherence to SOPs.
Commissioner and Chairman of the Rawalpindi Board, Engineer Aamir Khattak, has mobilised special teams for unannounced visits while Controller of Examinations Tanveer Asghar Awan personally reviewed procedures at several centres, including institutions in Khayaban‑e‑Sirr Syed Rawalpindi and multiple government colleges and high schools in Hazro. The inspections focused on monitoring invigilation, candidate conduct and compliance with examination rules to curb malpractice.
During a raid at Government Boys High School No.1 Hazro, two candidates were caught red‑handed engaging in exam cheating. A case was registered on the spot and handed over to the discipline branch for further action. The invigilator on duty at the centre was immediately removed from exam duty for failing to enforce prescribed SOPs.
Controller Tanveer Asghar Awan reiterated that under the board’s zero tolerance approach any negligence, corruption or rules violation during exams will not be tolerated and that decisive measures will continue against those involved. The ongoing monitoring and swift disciplinary response aim to protect the integrity of examinations and uphold fair opportunities for students across Punjab.
