Biometric Verification Made Mandatory for 9th and 11th Class Registration

Under examination reforms, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Lahore has made biometric verification compulsory for the registration of 9th and 11th class students.

Board officials confirmed that thumb scanning of both hands will now be required during the registration process.

New System for Schools

All public and private educational institutions have been directed to complete biometric arrangements. Schools must ensure:

  • Availability of thumb scanning devices

  • A laptop system for data entry

  • Use of board-provided software

Strict Compliance Required

Authorities stated that fingerprints of both thumbs must be recorded at the time of student registration. Any delay or negligence in implementation will be the responsibility of the head of the institution.

Purpose of the Biometric System

The new system aims to:

  • Improve student record accuracy

  • Prevent impersonation

  • Strengthen transparency in examination processes

More Instructions Coming Soon

The board has requested full cooperation from institutions and said additional guidelines regarding biometric procedures will be issued shortly.
