The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Hyderabad has detected serious irregularities in the academic records of students who secured admission to Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro, after appearing in MDCAT 2026.
According to the verification conducted by the education board, the mark sheets of 43 out of 48 students examined by the authorities were found to have been tampered with. Only five students’ mark sheets were declared authentic.
The matter came to light after the Sindh High Court (SHC) ordered the verification of academic records following a petition filed by a female candidate who scored 150 marks out of 180 in the MDCAT examination.

Sindh High Court Orders Verification of Students’ Records
The issue emerged when a female medical admission candidate approached the Sindh High Court over alleged discrepancies in the academic marks of another applicant.
In her petition, the student highlighted the case of a candidate identified as Fariha. According to the petition, Fariha had secured 869 marks in the Intermediate Examination 2026, but a mark sheet dated August 19, 2026, showed 930 marks.
This indicated a difference of 61 marks between the two records.
The petitioner raised concerns about the accuracy of the academic records being used during the medical admission process.
A division bench comprising Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon and Justice Mohammad Jaffer Raza observed that the matter required proper verification and compliance with the relevant rules and regulations.
