A BSEK spokesman, meanwhile, announced that certificates of all those candidates, who passed the SSC Part-II annual and supplementary examinations-2006, had been prepared. He requested the school principals or their nominees to collect the same from the board office for their distribution among their ex-students.

About practical exams of both parts, he said that the practical exams of science and general group students would begin on May 15 and continue till the end of June.

According to a notification issued by the board on Friday, the practical material will be ready for collection from May 5 to 10, PPI adds.
