SSC Part II (Class 10) to Kick Off First

This early start for Class 10 allows students ample time to complete their senior-level exams before the onset of summer, giving them a head start for their intermediate admissions.

SSC Part I (Class 9) Commences in April

Following the Class 10 schedule, the Class 9th (SSC Part I) 1st Annual Examination 2026 is set to begin shortly after. According to the Lahore Board date sheet, the exams for 9th grade will start from Friday, 17th April 2026 .

Morning Shift: Candidates must report to their respective examination centers by 09:00 AM sharp. Papers for the morning session will commence shortly after the final attendance is marked.
Evening Shift: Candidates appearing in the second shift are required to be seated in their examination halls by 02:00 PM .
