History

edit

The Inter-Boards Committee of Chairman (IBCC) was reconstituted and reconstituted as the Inter-Boards Coordination Commission by an Act of Parliament.[2] The legislation strengthened the IBCC to regulate foreign boards, certify and equate foreign and local qualifications for grades 9–12, and provide a platform for the exchange of ideas.[3]

Changes in examination system

edit

For the year 2024, the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has announced major changes in matriculation and inter-practical examinations. A nationwide committee of chairmen of education boards decided to replace the existing grading system at the Matric (Grade X) and Inter (Grade XII) levels with a 10-point system across the country.[4]

Grade Description Percentage Range
A++ Exceptional 95-100%
A+ Outstanding 90-95%
A Remarkable 85-90%
B++ Excellent 80-85%
B+ Very Good 75-80%
B Good 70-75%
C Fair 60-70%
D Satisfactory 50-60%
E Sufficient 40-50%

Online attestation and equivalence certification

edit

In 2023, IBCC, as part of its comprehensive reform agenda, moved its entire system of authentication and equivalency certification online using QR code-based technology.[1] This online system allows students to pursue their education through online schooling programs up to Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or Matriculation.[5]
