According to the notification, the new examination pattern will apply to Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science.
The revised pattern was approved by the FBISE Board of Governors during its 124th meeting held on July 28.
The Federal Board will implement the new examination format in phases. Its implementation will begin from the Second Annual Examination 2026 for new students appearing for the first time under the Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024.
For students at the SSC-II and HSSC-II levels, the same 50% MCQ and 50% descriptive-question format will take effect from the First Annual Examination 2027.
The change means students appearing in the five specified subjects will need to prepare equally for objective and descriptive portions of their examinations, as each section will account for half of the question paper.
