Admit Cards Dispatched for Private Candidates

In a significant move to streamline the process, the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi has stated that admit cards for private candidates have already been dispatched to their registered postal addresses. This includes all students who submitted their forms for the 2026 annual exams.

Officials at BIEK have urged private candidates to check their mailboxes promptly. The board has set a critical deadline: all students should ensure they receive their admit cards by April 25, 2026 .

What to Do If You Don’t Receive Your Admit Card

Recognizing that postal delays can occur, the Karachi Board has established a clear contingency plan. Candidates who do not receive their admit cards by April 25 are instructed not to panic.

According to the board’s official directive, such students can collect duplicate admit cards from the relevant section at the board office. The service for issuing duplicate copies will be available starting from April 27, 2026 .

Required Documents for Duplicate Admit Card

To prevent fraud and ensure the correct issuance of documents, BIEK officials have specified that applicants seeking a duplicate admit card must present the following original documents:

1. The original examination form and fee receipt.

2. The registration card or proof of registration.

3. A copy of their matriculation (SSC) marks sheet.

Without these documents, the board will not issue a duplicate admit card. Candidates are strongly advised to gather these materials well before April 27 to avoid last-minute inconvenience.

Background: SSC Exam Schedule Revised Due to Digital Transition

This update on intermediate exams follows a recent revision in the schedule for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations by the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK). The SSC exams, which are currently underway, began on April 10, 2026 .

Initially, the BSEK had planned to conduct the SSC examinations from April 7 to May 2 across the Karachi Division. However, the board was forced to alter the dates after encountering significant issues during the transition from a manual to a digital system.

Technical Disruptions Resolved

According to a spokesperson from the Board of Secondary Education Karachi, the digital system experienced a temporary disruption when the newly installed software became overloaded. This caused delays and confusion among students and school administrators.

"The system faced a temporary overload, but our IT team acted immediately," a BSEK official stated. "The issue has been fully resolved, and the revised schedule has been implemented successfully." The board confirmed that despite the initial hiccup, the SSC exams are now proceeding smoothly across all centers.

Key Takeaways for Intermediate Students

As the April 29 start date for the BIEK intermediate exams draws near, here is a quick checklist for all students:

• Confirm Receipt: Check your postal mail for the admit card before April 25.

• Visit the Board: If you haven’t received it by April 25, plan to visit the BIEK office on April 27.

• Carry Documents: Bring your fee receipt, registration proof, and matric marks sheet for a duplicate card.

• Stay Updated: Regularly check the official BIEK website for any further changes or center notifications.

The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi has assured that all arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth examination process, learning from the technical challenges faced during the SSC digital transition. Students are encouraged to arrive at their examination centers at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time.
