The Islamabad Capital Territory Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (ICT-PEIRA) has upgraded its IT infrastructure as part of its comprehensive reform agenda to improve efficiency, reliability, transparency, and service delivery for private educational institutions operating in the federal capital.
In a major step toward digital governance and improving the ease of doing business in the private education sector, ICT-PEIRA has introduced a fully paperless system for registration and renewal. The announcement was made in a press release issued on Saturday.
Under the new system, effective February 10, 2026, all private educational institutions in the Islamabad Capital Territory must submit applications for registration and renewal exclusively through the online portal. Hard-copy applications will no longer be accepted.
The move is expected to streamline administrative procedures, reduce processing times, minimize paperwork, improve transparency, and strengthen institutional compliance with regulatory standards.
Dr. Ghulam Ali Mallah, Acting Chairman of ICT-PEIRA, said the goal is to transform the authority into a fully paperless and digitally driven organization.
“In the first phase, the entire registration and renewal process has been shifted online,” he said. “In the next phase, compliance monitoring and regulatory processes will also be conducted through the digital portal, ensuring greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability.”
