The move aims to ensure transparency and eliminate malpractice in board examinations.

Commissioner Rawalpindi Aamir Khattak, after assuming acting charge as Chairman BISE Rawalpindi, chaired a high-level meeting and declared a zero-tolerance policy against paper leaks, exam irregularities, negligence, and favoritism. He ordered complete CCTV surveillance at sensitive exam centres and biometric attendance at marking centres to prevent malpractice.

Khattak also directed that all pending disciplinary cases be resolved within one week and instructed officials to establish a dedicated examination control room for real-time monitoring. He emphasized that transparency, discipline, and merit would not be compromised at any stage of the examination process.

Officials briefed the meeting on preparations for the 2026 SSC-I and HSSC-I annual examinations, stating that around 243,064 candidates are expected to appear in SSC First Annual Exams 2026, while 157,856 students will sit for HSSC First Annual Exams.

Additional measures include monitoring systems for practical laboratories, enhanced oversight of marking centres, pre-exam training for supervisory staff, a new online bill-receiving system for exam personnel, and strict action against examiners in cases of proven marking errors.

The post of BISE Rawalpindi chairman has remained vacant since October 17, following the completion of the previous chairman’s term, with the Punjab government yet to appoint a permanent replacement.
