Sindh education boards have decided to implement an e-marking system for the matriculation examinations starting in 2026.
According to ARY News, the submission of examination forms for Classes 9 and 10 across Sindh is expected to begin soon.
At the same time, authorities have confirmed that the examination framework will see key changes from next year.
Under the revised plan, two to three papers in the annual examinations of Classes 9 and 10 will be evaluated through e-marking.
To support the transition, the Federal Board has already handed over e-marking software to the Department of Universities and Boards. The technology will be used by Sindh’s examination boards during the checking process.
Moreover, the same system will be extended to intermediate-level exams. Two to three papers of the annual intermediate examinations will also be assessed through e-marking across Sindh boards in 2026.
Board officials have welcomed the initiative. They termed the Federal Board’s provision of software and technical support a major step toward transparency and fairness in examinations.
Executive Director of the Inter Board Coordination Committee (IBCC), Islamabad, Dr Ghulam Ali Mallah, said both the conduct of examinations and the checking of answer scripts would be managed through IT-based e-marking systems.
It is worth noting that the transition has already begun. During the current year, 2025, the Mathematics paper for Classes 9 and 10 was conducted using the e-marking system, setting the stage for wider implementation next year.
