The Punjab Boards Committee of Chairman (PBCC) has determined the date of the public announcement of Intermediate Part-I results (11th class / HSSC-I) in all Punjab education boards, which include not only the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore. The announcement will provide students and parents with a clear date on which to ready themselves on result-day activities like online checks, college admissions follow-ups and recheck requests.
BISE Lahore authorities admitted that they received over 200,000 students who presented Intermediate Part-I examinations in the Lahore district this year. According to board sources, the process of paper marking is still ongoing in evaluation centers and the collection points of the answer sheets and marks will be gathered at the center and results will be collated before the date announced by the PBCC. It is recommended that students have their roll numbers and original admit cards close to their computers so that they can access them easily online on the result day.
By deciding to co-ordinate announcement of results in Punjab, the PBCC is expected to create a fair process and reduce leaks and bring uniformity in counselling and admissions planning among colleges and universities. Having one release date assists higher education to deal with the high numbers of applications and also it allows the education departments time to organize recheck and verification processes. Observers also note that synchronisation minimises speculation and inconsistent reporting that can occur during the publication of boards which are published in different days.
Punjab boards record in the past indicated that results were released on the same day on the official board websites as well as being made accessible through the SMS services to the students who favored mobile access. BISE Lahore and other boards usually offer a search engine through which candidates can access a portal where they type roll numbers to access marks, grades and pass/fail status. During the release day, board websites experience a lot of traffic; students are expected to use official board portals, specific numbers of SMS result or trusted news portals to check.
Board opens a mark rechecking and verifying window after declaration; candidates, who believe that a particular mark has been marked incorrectly, may apply and remit the prescribed fee. Colleges and universities will start admissions of intermediate pass students, and start sending provisional offer letters; any student with a plan to apply to a professional or competitive course should verify the institution deadlines as soon as possible. Career counselling offices and individual consultancy firms usually provide step-by-step advice on result day about such options as re-sitting exams or transferring to other courses.
Always have admit card and roll number in hand; use official board web sites and verified SMS shortcodes; ensure to save or screen shot result page as evidence; in case you are going to seek recheck, have the deadline and documents needed/ handy; and never bother with unofficial result-sharing forums which can mislead. In case of any mismatch in marks or personal information, consult school/college administrations.
