QUETTA: The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Balochistan has arrested two officials from the Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BBISE), Quetta, for their alleged involvement in corrupt practices and illegally altering examination records.
The action follows an investigation prompted by information about corruption within the board, specifically concerning the results of the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) 2024.
The inquiry revealed that the records were manipulated through several illegal methods, including changing examination marks, altering Detailed Marks Certificates (DMCs), and gaining unauthorized access to the board’s IT system. Investigators found that the computerized records were tampered with before the official results were announced by using a “Super Admin” ID.
