Since the paper schedule is shared across these boards, this single page applies to students in every district under the Punjab examination system.
Please note that this schedule is based on the latest official announcement shared by reliable education sources aligned with the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen. Always confirm on your own board’s official site for the final timings, any changes, or Ramadan related adjustments before the exams begin.
Exam Timings
The expected timings for the 2026 papers are as follows. The morning shift starts at 8:30 AM, the evening shift starts at 1:30 PM, and Friday papers usually begin slightly later at 2:30 PM. Practical exams are expected after the theory papers conclude in May 2026, and the exact schedule for practicals will be shared in the official notification issued closer to that time.
Official Punjab BISE Websites
For the final confirmed PDF date sheet and any last minute changes, always cross check with your own board’s official website. BISE Lahore, BISE Gujranwala, BISE Rawalpindi, BISE Faisalabad, BISE Multan, BISE Sargodha, BISE Bahawalpur, BISE DG Khan and BISE Sahiwal all maintain their own portals where the official notification is uploaded.
Roll number slips are typically issued 10 to 15 days before the exams, either through schools or the board portals, and results are expected in July or August 2026.
Science Group vs Arts Group, Key Differences and Tips
Science Group students, whether Pre Medical, Pre Engineering or Computer Science, focus on Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Computer Science, and Mathematics as core subjects. This group places heavy emphasis on numericals, diagrams, experiments and formulas, so practical lab work should be prepared well in advance.
A useful tip is to practice Physics on May 7 and Chemistry on April 24 with daily calculation and diagram practice, since these two papers reward speed and precision under time pressure.
Arts or General Group students, sometimes described as the Humanities or Commerce related stream, focus on English, Urdu, Islamiat and Pakistan Studies as core subjects, along with optional subjects such as Economics, Civics, History, Geography, Clothing and Textiles, and Food and Nutrition.
This group leans more on theory, essays, short answers, maps and definitions. A helpful tip is to memorize key facts, dates and maps well ahead of time, particularly for Pakistan Studies and Geography, both scheduled on April 27.
Both groups share several common subjects, namely English on April 17, Urdu on April 29, Islamiat Compulsory on April 30, Mathematics on May 4, and the Translation of the Holy Quran on April 22.
Preparation Tips for Both Groups
Start your revision with the compulsory subjects first, since English, Urdu, Islamiat and Mathematics carry high marks weightage and appear in every student’s schedule regardless of group.
Always prepare using the official textbooks together with past papers and the pairing scheme released by your board, since this combination shows exactly how questions are typically distributed. Practice full length papers under timed conditions so managing the actual exam duration feels familiar rather than stressful. Science students should keep their focus on formulas, diagrams and practicals, with particular attention to Biology on April 21, Chemistry on April 24 and Physics on May 7.
Arts students should prioritize essay writing along with MCQ and short and long question practice, especially for Economics on April 23 and Civics on May 8. Use the gap days between papers to revise optional subjects, such as Clothing and Textiles on April 28, so nothing is left until the last moment.
