The 12th-class papers will run first, from 3 to 16 November 2026, and the 11th-class papers will follow from 17 to 28 November 2026, with practical examinations scheduled from 1 to 11 December 2026.

Who Can Appear in Second Annual Exams
The Second Annual examinations are designed for students who could not clear one or more papers in the First Annual examinations, and for students who want to improve their marks in selected subjects. Private candidates whose admissions were accepted can also appear, provided their admission forms and fees were completed within the given windows.
Students should understand one point clearly: admissions for this round have already closed, with the single-fee window ending 6 October, the double-fee window ending 13 October and the triple-fee window ending 17 October 2026, so no new admission can be made now.
Failed-paper students: Students who failed one or more papers in the First Annual exams can reappear in those papers.
Improvement students: Students who want better marks can appear for improvement in selected subjects.
Private candidates: Accepted private candidates can appear as per their admission forms.
Admissions closed: Single, double and triple fee admission windows closed between 6 and 17 October 2026.
No fresh admission: No new admission form can be submitted for the Second Annual exams now.
The written date sheet follows a clear order: 12th-class papers first, then 11th-class papers, then practical examinations in December. Morning papers start at 9:00 am and evening papers start at 2:00 pm, with a 2:30 pm start on Fridays for the evening session. Students should download their own board date sheet and mark their subject dates, because the unified schedule gives the windows while the subject-wise dates differ by paper and group.
Part-II window: 12th-class written papers run from 3 to 16 November 2026.
Part-I window: 11th-class written papers run from 17 to 28 November 2026.
Practical window: Practical examinations run from 1 to 11 December 2026.
Morning timing: Morning papers start at 9:00 am sharp at every centre.
Evening timing: Evening papers start at 2:00 pm, and at 2:30 pm on Fridays.
Centre rule: Reach the centre early with your roll number slip and original CNIC or B-Form.
Roll Number Slip Guide
The roll number slip is the most important document for exam day, because no student is allowed to sit in the paper without it. Regular students usually receive their slips through their institutions, while private candidates download their slips from their board website using their form number or CNIC details. Students should check their name, photograph, subjects, centre address and paper timings on the slip as soon as they receive it, and report any error to their board office or institution at once rather than on exam day.
Regular students: Collect your roll number slip from your college or institution before the first paper.
Private candidates: Download your slip from your board website using your form number or CNIC details.
Check details: Verify your name, photograph, subjects, centre and paper timings on the slip.
Report errors early: Report any mistake on the slip to your board office or institution at once.
Exam day carry: Carry the printed slip with your original CNIC or B-Form to every paper.
Lost slip: Contact your institution or board office immediately if your slip is lost or damaged.
Exam Day Rules and Preparation
Exam day discipline can protect marks that months of study have earned. Students should reach the centre at least 30 minutes early, because late entry can cause stress and, in strict centres, refusal. Mobile phones, smart watches and notes are not allowed inside the examination hall, and any unfair means case can cancel the paper and damage the whole result. Students should also plan their revision around the date sheet, giving the hardest papers more days and keeping the last day before each paper for light revision and rest.
Reach early: Arrive at the centre at least 30 minutes before the paper starts.
Banned items: Mobile phones, smart watches and notes are not allowed in the examination hall.
Fair means: Avoid unfair means at all costs, because a case can cancel the paper and harm the result.
Revision plan: Use the gaps between papers for the hardest subjects first.
Rest matters: Keep the evening before each paper for light revision and proper sleep.
Stationery check: Carry pens, pencils, geometry items and a transparent pouch the night before.
After the written and practical papers finish in December, boards will complete checking and announce the Second Annual result. Reports suggest the result is expected around 12 January 2027, but that date is reported rather than board-confirmed, so students should treat it as an expected window and watch their board website for the official announcement. Students who clear their papers in this round can then plan their next admission step, whether that is a university application, a college transfer or a repeat improvement plan.
Expected result: The Second Annual result is reported to be expected around 12 January 2027.
Confirmation needed: That date is not yet board-confirmed, so watch your board website for the official notice.
Next step: Students who clear their papers can plan university or college admission next.
Failed again: Students who fail again should check the next annual cycle and reappear with better preparation.
Original result card: Collect your original result card from your institution or board office after the announcement.
