The new system will replace traditional manual checking with digital evaluation.

What Is the New E-Sheet System?

Under the updated method:

• Answer sheets will be scanned after exams

• Copies will be uploaded into an online marking system

• Examiners will check papers digitally via computer

• Marks will be entered electronically

This approach is expected to:

• Save time in result preparation

• Improve record accuracy

• Reduce chances of calculation errors

• Ensure transparent evaluation

Initially for Computer Science Papers

Board officials have confirmed that in the first phase:

• The system will apply to Computer Science papers

• Other subjects may be added later if the system proves successful

This step indicates a gradual transition toward a fully digitized exam checking system.

Question-Wise Marking System Introduced

One of the biggest changes is the division of marking responsibility.

According to officials:

• Each examiner will check only one question

• If a paper contains five questions, five different examiners will evaluate them separately

This method aims to:

• Minimize bias

• Reduce marking errors

• Improve fairness

• Standardize evaluation

By dividing marking tasks, consistency in grading can be better maintained.

Important Instructions for Students

Students have been advised to:

• Write answers clearly

• Mention the correct question number

• Maintain proper order and neatness

• Avoid mixing answers randomly

Since sheets will be scanned, clear handwriting and structured answers are essential to prevent scanning issues.

How This Will Improve Transparency

Board authorities believe the digital system will:

• Secure online records

• Reduce rechecking complaints

• Improve result organization

• Prevent manipulation risks

With digital storage, rechecking processes can become more systematic and verifiable.

What This Means for Students in Punjab

As BISE Lahore is one of Punjab’s largest boards, this reform could:

• Set a model for other boards

• Speed up result announcements

• Increase trust in examination outcomes

Students preparing for upcoming matric exams should adapt to structured and clean answer writing to align with the new digital evaluation system.
