The nine boards of intermediate and secondary education (BISEs) in Punjab will conduct examinations for four science subjects on e-sheets from next year, in a major shift towards digital assessment. The Punjab boards e-sheet exams will cover matric and intermediate papers, with on-screen marking replacing the traditional paper-based checking for the selected subjects.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairpersons (PBCC) on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, and announced by the Lahore Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE Lahore) on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The first phase of the e-sheet system will cover Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science and Statistics at BISE Lahore, while the four science subjects for the province-wide rollout have not been named yet.

What Are E-Sheets and How Will They Work
Digital answer sheets: Under the e-sheet system, students will write their answers on digital sheets, and the papers will be checked on screen by examiners instead of on paper.
On-screen marking: Examiners will mark the papers on computers, which the boards say will make checking faster and more transparent.
First phase at Lahore: BISE Lahore will begin with Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science and Statistics in the first phase of the system.
Province-wide rollout: All nine boards in Punjab will adopt the e-sheet system for four science subjects from next year, though the exact subjects for each board have not been named yet.
Faster results: On-screen marking can speed up the checking process, so results can be announced sooner after the examinations.
More transparency: Digital marking creates a record of every mark awarded, reducing the chances of errors and making rechecking easier.
Modern assessment: The move follows the global trend towards digital examinations and paperless assessment in education.
Consistency: A single digital system across all nine boards will bring consistency to the checking and result compilation process.
What Students Should Know
Subjects not named yet: The four science subjects for the province-wide rollout have not been announced, so students should wait for their board’s official notification before assuming which papers will be on e-sheets.
Matric and inter both covered: The e-sheet system will apply to both matric and intermediate examinations for the selected subjects.
Practice before exams: Students should familiarise themselves with the e-sheet format once their board releases sample papers or guidelines.
Traditional papers continue: Subjects not covered by the e-sheet system will continue to be examined on traditional paper answer sheets.
