How to Download Your Date Sheet & Roll Number Slip — Step by Step
Before every examination session, your board publishes two documents you cannot sit the exams without: the date sheet (your complete timetable) and your roll number slip (your entry pass to the exam hall). Both come from the board's official channels. This guide shows you where they appear, how regular and private candidates each receive them, and the checks you must do the moment you have them in hand.
| Applies to | Matric (9th / 10th) and Intermediate (1st / 2nd year) candidates of all BISE boards and FBISE |
|---|---|
| Date sheet | Issued by the board before the session; published on the board's official website as a downloadable notification/PDF |
| Roll number slip — regular candidates | Delivered through your school or college, which downloads/receives slips for all its students |
| Roll number slip — private candidates | Downloaded from the board's online portal with your registration details, and/or dispatched to your given address as the board directs |
| Cost | Downloading from official board websites is free |
Part 1 — Downloading the date sheet
A date sheet lists every paper with its date, day and session (morning/evening). Boards release one date sheet per class/session, and a separate schedule for practical examinations where applicable.
- Open your board's official website (use the board links on our Date Sheets page).
- Look for the "Date Sheet", "Notifications" or "Downloads" section — boards place the date sheet there as an official notification, usually a PDF.
- Choose the date sheet for your class and session — for example, "Date Sheet SSC Part II Annual" or "HSSC Part I Annual". Downloading the wrong class's sheet is the most common mistake.
- Download and save the PDF, and note your paper dates in a diary or phone calendar the same day.
- Check whether your board has issued a separate practical-exam schedule. Practical dates are often announced apart from the theory date sheet.
Pak Edu Point publishes every board's date sheet as a clean, readable table on the day the board issues it. Until your board's official date sheet is out, any "expected date sheet" circulating online is unofficial — plan your revision generally, but fix your paper dates only from the official document.
Part 2 — Getting your roll number slip
Regular candidates (through a school/college)
Your institution receives or downloads the roll number slips of all its candidates and distributes them before the exams. Collect yours from your school/college office as soon as slips are announced, and do not wait for the last days — if there is an error on your slip, your institution needs time to get it corrected from the board.
Private candidates
- Open your board's official website and find the roll number slip / online slip service for private candidates.
- Enter the details the portal asks for — typically your registration/form number, name, father's name or date of birth, exactly as submitted with your admission form.
- Your slip will be generated on screen. Print at least two copies and also save the PDF on your phone.
- If the portal shows no record, first re-check your entries; if the problem continues, contact the board office with your admission-form receipt.
The five checks to do on your roll number slip
Your slip carries your roll number, name, father's name, photograph, subjects, and your examination centre. On the day you receive it, verify:
- Name and father's name spellings — they must match your B-Form/CNIC and previous certificates.
- Subjects and group — every subject you registered for, in the correct group (Science/General, Pre-Medical/Pre-Engineering, etc.).
- Examination centre — note its exact location and, if possible, visit it before the first paper.
- Photograph — it should be yours and clearly recognisable.
- Roll number — memorise it and also write it somewhere safe; you will need it for results (see our result-checking guide).
Found an error? Inform your school/college (regular candidates) or the board office (private candidates) immediately — corrections are straightforward before exams begin and difficult afterwards.
On exam day — what to carry
Carry your original roll number slip to every paper; without it, the centre staff may not let you sit. Reach the centre well before the reporting time printed for your session, carry your own stationery as instructed, and leave mobile phones and smart watches behind — boards prohibit them inside exam halls and candidates have been disqualified over them. Keep a printed copy of the date sheet with you so the next paper's date and session are never in doubt.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do boards issue date sheets and roll number slips?
Both are issued in the weeks before an examination session begins — the date sheet first, then roll number slips. The exact timing is set by each board's notification for that session. Pak Edu Point publishes the date sheet the day a board issues it.
I am a private candidate and my slip is not downloading. What should I do?
Re-enter your details exactly as written on your admission form — a spelling or date-of-birth mismatch is the usual cause. If it still fails, visit or contact the board office with your admission-form receipt and CNIC; the board can issue or correct the slip.
My name is misspelled on the roll number slip. Will it affect my result?
Get it corrected before the exams through your institution or the board office. Your result and certificate are printed from the board's record, so an uncorrected error will follow you to the certificate — where fixing it later is slower.
Can I download a date sheet from a third-party website?
Only trust the date sheet issued on your board's official website — third-party copies can be of a different class, board or session. Pak Edu Point republishes timetables only from the official document and links to it.
