LAHORE: The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore has come up with a new way for students to get their online roll number slips for the 2025 matriculation exam.
For the first time ever, the BISE has launched an online system to improve the openness and effectiveness of the test.
The initiative, which was launched by Mazamil Mahmood, Chairman of the BISE Lahore Task Force Committee for Boards, Dr. Farrukh Naveed, Secretary of the Higher Education Department, and Zaid bin Maqsood, Lahore Commissioner/Chairman of the Board, includes digitizing the roll number slips with QR codes. The action was made possible by BISE Secretary Rizwan Nazir.
“The introduction of QR codes on roll number slips is a major step forward in ensuring the authenticity of the examination process,” stated Secretary Nazir. “This technological advancement will help us track and verify candidates, reducing the chances of fraudulent activities.”
Applicants can quickly access their BISE account information and roll number slip by scanning this QR code. In addition to making sure the data is accurate and up-to-date, this user-friendly method simplifies the procedure for students.
Examiner Zahid Mian emphasized the significance of this effort in promoting transparency. “We are committed to making the 2025 matric exams as transparent and fair as possible,” he said. “The implementation of this online system is a testament to our dedication to providing a secure and efficient examination experience for all candidates.”
Students and parents have shown their gratitude for the board’s attempts to update the examination system, according to BISE spokesperson Tahir Javed. The exam date is drawing near.
He promised that other Pakistani educational boards would follow the lead of the online roll number slip method, which would lead to even more innovative technology in Pakistan’s classrooms.
Superintendents, deputy superintendents, and invigilators, among others, are part of the examination workforce that the BISE previously deployed using an automated system. In the test, the system will distribute responsibilities automatically.
In 2025, 568,854 students from the Science and General groups will be able to take the matriculation exams at one of 920 test centres, an increase of 52 centres from the previous year. No one on the blacklist, those who have retired, or those with private sector backgrounds will be recruited in an attempt to keep the screening process authentic. The system uses a large database of information about 100,000 teachers to handle teachers’ data by zone.
There is less room for bias and cheating than in the manual appointment procedure because it assigns tasks to exam staff automatically, without user input. Numerous checks have been added to ensure honesty.
The system will scan all instructors to make sure they aren’t marked in restricted categories and won’t put them in the same testing center as their students.
One major advantage of the approach is that it reduces the chances of examination misconduct by making it more difficult for people to use personal connections to get appointments at their selected centres.
