Semester
Examinations Section is catering the examination & Academic
matters related with semester rules for various Faculties
of the University of Karachi as well as Affiliated Colleges.
Semester Examinations Section, University of Karachi, was
established in 1974 on the initiative of the then Dean, Faculty
of Science; Prof. Dr. Zainul Abedin when Prof. Dr. Mehmood
Hussain was the Vice-Chancellor. It passed through various
phases of its evolution care-taken by various Faculty Teachers
as Incharge/Advisor of this section.
The Semester Examinations Section is housed in temporary places
since its inception in 1974. This section is still neglected
though provided a better place than previously in 1997. The
present place (at the ground floor of Computer Science Department),
was one of the hostel building earlier. However, the Semester
Examinations Counter for students’ dealing was placed
at the Administration Building to keep the students away from
the confidential section.
Before 1997, semester examination results were not announced
comprehensively with the statements of failure and remarks
of objections, if any. This deficiency had resulted in many
anomalies in connection with results and promotions to higher
class. Therefore, the result announcement procedure was changed
and all information regarding student’s particulars
and his/her academic status along-with objections, if any,
are being printed in result announcement sheet. This procedure
has reduced the number of queries as well as anomalies in
promotion to next higher class.
During
1998-2006 this section has developed annual cycle for all
the activities that depends on the input from various Departments
and Affiliated Colleges.
The year 1998 was associated with grass root organization
of procedures involved in daily Daak result receiving, admit
card issuance, result tabulations remuneration bills and result
announcement etc.
Later, in 1999 & 2000, Semester rules were revised and
updated with the approval of Academic Council. Consequently,
a booklet was published for circulation. In this period, Semester
Examinations Section has uplifted the technical and structural
aspects by the induction of new computers, peripherals and
standard quality furniture.
In 2001 & 2002 Central Air Conditioning was carried out
with the induction of software for the calculation of grades
from numerical marks and their conversion into fractional
grading for B.S., B.Pharm. & B.B.A. In this year Semester
rules were also updated alongwith color printing facility
& the Publication of 1st Annual Report.
The year 2003 & 2004, were prominent due to the development
of a software for Marks Proforma preparation. In addition,
G-1 form was also inducted to facilitate clean application
system for University students. In this year a separate unit
was also established for the work load related with Affiliated
Colleges.

Semester 2006 are available on University Website. This Section is now looking forward for Centralized
Networking through optical fiber and full Computerization
of Semester Examinations Section. It is also planned to obtain
results through Intranet from Departments to achieve the excellence
in working & proficiency in out put. It is, however, expected
that University will manage a permanent building for the Semester
