As an alternative, the IBCC has signed an agreement with TCS under which the latter will collect and deliver all educational documents for O and A level students. The initiative has been taken to suspend the excessive flow of students to the IBCC centres of the country, including Karachi. Under the agreement, students will no longer need to visit the IBCC centre or go to the bank to pay their fees. The IBCC currently has five branches – one each in Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar and Bahawalpur – besides the head office in Islamabad. Since Karachi has the highest number of schools affiliated with the Cambridge board, most of students flocked to the IBCC centre, causing immense rush.
