The Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen (PBCC) has issued the revised schedule for online enrollment/admission of candidates by all the Boards of Intermediate & Secondary Education (BISEs) for Class XI for the Year (2020-22).

Candidates can be admitted to the institutions without a late fee till January 29 and with a fine of Rs500 till February 04, 2021.

Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood told reporters that students of classes 9-12 would resume education in-person on Jan 18, as announced earlier, while those in nursery to class 8 would return to school on February 1, instead of January 25, maintaining less than 50% attendance.
