The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Multan has officially released the much-anticipated date sheet for the 9th and 10th class annual examinations for 2026 . The announcement, made earlier today, brings clarity and a structured timeline for hundreds of thousands of students preparing to appear in the secondary school certificate (SSC) exams.
According to the official schedule issued by the controller of examinations, the examinations for Class 10 will commence on March 27th, 2026 , while the Class 9th annual exams will begin slightly later, on April 17th, 2026 . The board has also detailed specific timings for the papers, taking into account the regular weekly schedule.
The BISE Multan has organized the examinations to run smoothly across various examination centers within the district and its affiliated regions. The date sheet outlines a clear distinction between morning and evening sessions to accommodate the large number of registered candidates.
Morning Session: All papers in the morning shift will be held from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM .
Evening Session: The evening papers are scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM .
Friday Exception: In observance of the weekly holiday and prayer timings, the evening papers on Fridays will commence at 2:30 PM instead of the usual 2:00 PM.
Students are advised to arrive at their respective examination centers at least 30 minutes before the start of their paper to complete the necessary formalities and avoid any last-minute rush.

The released document provides a paper-wise breakdown for students belonging to both Science and Arts/Humanities groups. Here is a summarized overview of the key starting dates for major subjects:
The Class 10 exams kick off later this month. While the complete date sheet is available on the official BISE Multan website, the initial papers are expected to cover compulsory subjects.
Start Date: March 27, 2026
Students are advised to download the complete PDF from the board’s website to check the specific dates for elective subjects, as the schedule is staggered to provide adequate gap days between major papers.
The Class 9 examinations will follow shortly after the 10th-grade papers begin, ensuring that the board can manage the logistical requirements of conducting exams for both grades simultaneously.
Start Date: April 17, 2026
The schedule for Class 9 has been designed to ensure that students have sufficient time to prepare for their core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English.
Alongside the date sheet, the Multan Board has issued a set of instructions that candidates must strictly adhere to in order to ensure a fair and smooth examination process:
Download the Official Date Sheet: Students are strongly advised to visit the official website of BISE Multan ( www.bisemultan.edu.pk ) to download the authenticated version of the date sheet. They should avoid relying on unverified copies circulated on social media.
Verify Roll Number Slips: Candidates must collect their roll number slips from their respective institutions well before the first exam. The roll slip is a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall.
Strict Timings: Students must note the difference in timing for Friday evening papers (2:30 PM). Reaching the center late will result in disqualification from that particular paper.
Prohibited Items: Mobile phones, smart watches, and other electronic gadgets are strictly prohibited inside the examination centers. Possession of such items will be considered a case of unfair means.
Follow Center Rules: Students must ensure they are wearing proper uniform and carry their own stationary, as sharing of items is generally not permitted inside the hall.
With less than six weeks remaining for the Class 10 exams and about two months for Class 9, educationists in Multan are advising students to utilize their time wisely.
Focus on Past Papers: Reviewing past papers can help students understand the paper pattern and frequently asked questions.
Revise Core Concepts: Instead of starting new topics at this late stage, students should focus on revising the chapters they are already confident in.
Manage Time: Creating a study timetable that mimics the exam day routine (waking up early, studying during exam hours) can help improve concentration and performance.

The announcement of the BISE Multan 9th and 10th date sheet 2026 marks the beginning of the final leg of the academic year for matriculation students. The board has assured that all arrangements are being finalized to conduct the examinations in a transparent and organized manner. Students, teachers, and parents are urged to stay connected to the board’s official channels for any further updates or corrections regarding the exam schedule.
