Federal Board Islamabad
Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Islamabad also known as FBISE in short, is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, Islamabad, Pakistan. It is an ISO-certified organization that caters to the best practices and quality improvements in the examination system.
Federal board was established by the act of Parliament in 1975 to conduct examinations and to declare results at SSC (Matric) and HSSC (Intermediate) levels in the Islamabad Capital Territory, Gilgit-Baltistan, Federal Administrative Tribal Areas (FATA) and abroad as well.
The main difference between the Federal Board and other Boards of Education of Pakistan is, that FBISE is authorized to conduct examinations in any area or jurisdiction of Pakistan where its affiliated institutions are situated and abroad as well, whereas other Boards of Education are allowed to conduct exams only in their juridic-ted area e.g City or District.
FBISE Strength:
Approximately 200,000 to 250,000 students appear annually in FBISE exams both at SSC and HSSC levels. This number is increasing every year as the Federal Board is expanding its affiliation of institution network to far areas of Punjab and Sindh mainly.
FBISE Online Services:
Federal Board provides online services like no other education board in Pakistan, including Online Registration, Online Admission forms, Verification of Documents, Migration certificates, and Duplicate mark sheets all of these are available online at the FBISE website. FBISE is committed to becoming a paper-free organization in the future.
FBISE is a pioneer in every new technology and ease of access for students and teachers as well. In 2021 FBISE started Online Marking called E-Marking of Answer Scripts. Now paper checkers/examiners can work from the comfort of their homes, they just need to log in to their dashboard provided and mark the questions on the screen. This is a revolutionary system for marking answer scripts which has been marked manually for the last 70 years. It gives transparency and efficiency to students and teachers as well. E-marking helps FBISE to provide results within one month after the conduct of exams.
FBISE New Grading System:
The Federal Board Islamabad has introduced a new Grading System where results will be shown in grades, GPA, and CGPA instead of Marks. According to the board authorities, the new grading system will replace the old absolute marking system and cope with the international standards of education.
The new grading system will take effect from the result of the SSC Annual Exam 2023. The new Grading system and marks system will continue until 2024. From 2025 the result will be published only in grades, GPA, and CGPA on the mark sheet.
