FBISE extends deadline for submission of HSSC registration returns

ISLAMABAD, Oct 07 (APP): The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) Islamabad has extended the deadline for submitting Registration Returns at the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) level for all affiliated institutions to October 30, 2026.

The extension was granted in response to requests from affiliated institutions and under the direction and special intervention of the Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training, Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.

The decision has been taken particularly in view of the difficulties being faced by affiliated institutions in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), as well as other affiliated institutions, in completing the registration process within the previously notified timeframe.

The extension is intended to facilitate affiliated institutions and students by providing additional time for the completion of all necessary registration formalities. Accordingly, Registration Returns may now be submitted up to October 30, 2026, with the normal Registration Return fee. In this regard, a revised notification is also being issued by FBISE to all affiliated institutions.

The Heads of all affiliated institutions are advised to avail themselves of the extended deadline and ensure that the Registration Returns of all eligible students are duly processed and submitted within the stipulated timeframe.

Institutions are further advised to ensure that all information provided in the Registration Returns is complete, accurate, and in accordance with the applicable FBISE rules, regulations, and requirements.

For further guidance and clarification regarding the registration process, eligibility criteria, applicable procedures, and other related matters, the Heads of institutions are advised to refer to the earlier Registration Notification issued by FBISE for HSSC-level registration for the current academic session.

All concerned institutions are requested to take due note of the extended deadline and complete the registration process within the revised timeframe.
