BISE Faisalabad biometric verification is now mandatory for all matriculation and intermediate candidates, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Faisalabad said on Friday. The rule applies from the 2026-28 academic session and follows directions from the Punjab government and the controlling authority. Students who do not complete the check will have their admissions withheld, the board said.
What the board has changed
A board spokesperson said the Information Technology branch has updated the registration portal so that the biometric verification requirement is built into the process. Biometric verification is an identity check that uses a person's physical features, which in this case means fingerprints captured on a device. The spokesperson did not describe any other method of verification.
What schools and colleges must provide
All heads of educational institutions have received a circular telling them to ensure that biometric devices are available. The devices named in the circular are SecuGen HU20-A fingerprint readers, which are to be used together with laptops or computers. The purpose is to make it possible for students to complete the verification at their institution.
The spokesperson said the concerned school or college would be held responsible for any lapse in this regard. That places the responsibility for the BISE Faisalabad biometric verification process on institutions, not only on students.
What families should do now
Since the devices are being arranged through schools and colleges, families should check with their institution how and when the verification will take place. Students who miss the process face the withholding of admissions, so keeping track of the step is important. The sources available do not give further details on timelines or fees for the process.
