This is an extremely disturbing news. 84% of the youth failing simple B.Com exams is quite worrying. Those at the helm of affairs and society as whole, and more particularly the parents, need to find out the reasons for this. This is sheer wastage of national resources. Such a youth would become a burden on the nation, instead of contributing to its progress and development.

Wow. So finally we have realised that our product is not marketable and sustainable. We always buried our head in sand and ignored the widespread plagiarism going on in exams. We need to improve standards even more and shift all medical colleges exams to the Karachi University too. The incompetent doctors produced in every second city are a direct result of lack of such control in exams. They are a much bigger risk to our own health and safety. Also we need to ensure that such standards are copied everywhere. We need to allow healthy competition not widespread theft for incompetent students. Well done KU administration. I hope you keep it up and extend these checks to all institutions. Dear students believe me it is in your own interest to work hard and succeed. This plagiarism will fail you at a later stage and you wont have time to put it right then. Its your choice too.

@Ajamal: I have always been against the option given to students to study for bcom privately. It doesn't just gives bad to name to the degree itself, but also to those who are pursuing it from some respectable universities all across Pakistan. It is of extreme significance to note that those pursing Honors program at some universities shouldn't be compared with those doing it privately. Furthermore, the impression that people hold regarding this degree being worthless in downright wrong. In some universities, BCom Honors degree is being offered which includes countless presentations, activities and quizes which therefore shouldn't be equated with those who are pursuing it privately.Also, the universities offering these degree in semester system framework, doesn't have much difference between BBA honors degree BSAA Honors( Relatively a new degree) and BCOM honors degree. Subjects are pretty much same except for BCOM and BSAA having more concentration of Accounting and finance and those in BBA having more concentration of Management course. Hope I cleared the doubts.

@Finance Analyst: This was not private but regular exams, of full time college students. Besides the issue is horrific academic performance. Or perhaps this is the result of tight invigilation?

@Hassaan: This is not because youth is not good at studying but because university has decided to earn some revenue in the form of exam fee as we all know that KU is going to revise its 40years old B.Com curriculam and is under immense financial crisis.
