Big Relief for Students as Punjab Extends Matric Exam Admission Deadline for 2026

Punjab has announced an extension in the admission schedule for the Matric Annual Examinations 2026, offering relief to thousands of students who were struggling to meet the earlier deadlines. The decision was confirmed through an official notification issued by the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen (PBCC).

Under the revised schedule, students can now submit their matric exam forms with a single fee until 10 December 2025. Those who miss this window can still apply with a double fee up to 23 December 2025, while the final deadline with a triple fee has been extended to 6 January 2026.

The extension applies to all educational boards across Punjab, including Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and other affiliated boards. Both regular and private candidates can benefit from the updated timeline.

PBCC also confirmed that the SSC Part II (10th class) annual examinations will begin on 3 March 2026. Officials said the move aims to address issues such as delays in documentation, portal congestion, and fee submission problems.

Students are advised to complete their admission process as early as possible to avoid higher fees and last-minute complications.
