“I made my own notes and concentrated a lot on my studies,” Sundus said. “I was a regular student at college with over 80 per cent attendance in all classes. I have no regrets about taking tuitions. I believe it was another option available for the students and those who want more marks in the examinations would like to avail it,” she further said.
According to her, the students, especially male candidates, nowadays are more interested in watching television, playing games or spending time on computers and mobile phones. “This is a major reason why they are not getting top positions in the annual examinations,” she added.

“We don’t have a television at home. I had more time to study and I am pleased with my results,” Rabia said. She further said that public colleges are better than the private sector colleges. To a query, she replied that taking tuitions is not a bad option for the students. “College teachers are willing to teach at the colleges but unfortunately students are not there to attend the classes on a regular basis,” she also said.
Sundus Sabir, daughter Muhammad Sabir, with roll number 141694 of DA Degree College for Women, Phase VIII secured the third position. She secured 975 out of total 1100 marks with 88.63 per cent.
“I never went to tuition centres in my whole life and I believe that result depends upon the time spent on studies,” she shared her views.
Sundus said that there must be a separate professional medical college for women in the city. “It will help in increasing the numbers of female doctors in the city,” she said.
Chairman, BIEK, Anwar Ahmed Zai said, “Different education boards of Sindh would now print three question papers at a time. We are already practicing this at the moment. After the 18 Amendment, policy making regarding education will be transfer to the provincial governments.” “We will study our subjects, syllabus, content used in courses and after reviewing and studying it properly, a report would be sent to the department of education, government of Sindh for improvement in the education sector,” he added.
