The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore has postponed today’s intermediate and matriculation exams due to escalating tensions between Pakistan and India.
The affected exams include the Islamiyat (elective) and Principles of Accounting theory exams for Inter Part II, as well as a Computer Science practical exam for Matric students.
A BISE spokesperson confirmed the postponement, citing security concerns following military strikes between the two countries. The spokesperson assured that a new schedule for the exams would be announced in due course.
The decision comes amid increased military activity along the Line of Control, following an Indian strike on multiple locations in Pakistan.
In retaliation, the Pakistan army downed five Indian fighter jets and one combat drone in response to unprovoked aggression and airspace violations.
Authorities have urged students and the public to stay updated as the situation continues to develop.
Earlier, the British Council Pakistan announced that all examinations scheduled for today will go ahead as planned, despite heightened military tensions between Pakistan and India.
In an official statement posted on its Facebook page, the organisation said, “All exams scheduled for today will proceed as planned. We will keep you updated if there are any changes.”
Students were advised to contact their respective schools, or the Customer Services Centre in the case of private candidates, for any exam-related queries.
