How to Apply For the Correction of Name, Father’s Name and DOB From Karachi Board

Unlike other educational boards in Pakistan, Karachi has two separate boards for matriculation and intermediate students. More commonly referred to as Matric Board Karachi, the Board of Secondary Education, Karachi, or BSEK, is a government board that organizes, develops, and regulates secondary education in the city. Similarly, for organizing intermediate education in the city, there is a separate Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK). Both boards regulate education in the city by offering a wide range of educational services to students in Karachi. However, BSEK also provides correction services to eradicate errors in board-issued certificates and documents. In this article, we are discussing how to apply for the correction of your name, your father’s name, or even your date of birth from the Karachi board.

Before we start, it is worth mentioning here that this is entirely a manual process. The Karachi board does not provide an online facility for the correction of mistakes. So, let’s get started.
