LAHORE: Punjab’s educational boards are set to introduce a new marking system for board examinations aimed at making paper checking more transparent, structured and consistent.
Under the revised rubric-based marking system, examiners will allocate marks according to specific parts of each question instead of relying mainly on an overall assessment of the answer. This will give students clearer opportunities to earn marks for individual components of their responses.
The new procedure is expected to be implemented across all educational boards in Punjab, beginning with the second annual examinations. Officials say the change is intended to reduce inconsistencies in marking and improve fairness in the assessment process.
The move comes as Punjab continues to introduce reforms aimed at improving examination standards. Authorities have also been working to strengthen the assessment of practical examinations through more structured testing and monitoring.
The new system is expected to provide a more uniform approach to marking and help ensure that students receive marks based on clearly defined assessment criteria.
