Earlier, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore had started distributing roll number slips for students preparing for the first annual examination of 2025.

Both regular and private candidates are encouraged to download their slips immediately to meet the requirements for admission to the examination.

Candidates should ensure that they bring their roll number slips to the examination centre, as officials have confirmed that any student who fails to produce their slip will be denied entry.

The roll number slip contains important information, including paper timings, examination centre address, and a personal date sheet for each candidate.

Controller of Examinations Zahid Mian said that this QR code system has already been successful in preventing unauthorized candidates from accessing the examination centres.
