In a significant development, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Peshawar has officially postponed the upcoming Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) exams for 2025. The decision comes following directives from the Chief Minister of KP and the Controlling Authority of KP BISEs.
New Dates for Matric and Inter Exams 2025
As per the official notification released by BISE Peshawar, the Matric (SSC) Annual Exam 2025, originally scheduled for March 5, 2025, will now be conducted on April 8, 2025. The decision was made considering the month of Ramzan, which falls in March.
While an official notification regarding the postponement of the Intermediate (HSSC) exams is yet to be released, it is expected that the schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
Why Were the Exams Postponed?
The primary reason for the rescheduling is the holy month of Ramzan, which millions of students across the province observe. Conducting exams during this period could have posed challenges for students in terms of preparation and performance.
The decision reflects the KP government’s commitment to ensuring students can focus on their studies without additional stress during religious observances.
How Will This Affect Students?
- Extended Preparation Time: Students will get additional weeks to revise and strengthen their concepts before the final exams.
- Revised Admission and University Schedules: Universities and colleges in KP might have to adjust their admission schedules to align with the new exam timeline.
- Impact on Result Announcement: The postponement may delay the announcement of Matric and Inter results, which could impact college and university admissions.
Official Notification Details
The notification was issued by Prof. Nasrullah Khan, Chairman BISE Peshawar, and copies were sent to relevant government authorities, including:
- Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, KP
- Secretary of Elementary and Secondary Education Department, KP
- Higher Education Department, KP
- All Chairmen of KP BISEs
- Other relevant educational authorities
The postponement of the KP Matric and Inter exams 2025 is a major decision to facilitate students during Ramzan. While the new schedule provides additional preparation time, students should remain focused and make the most of this opportunity.
