Sindh to Launch E-Marking System. Sindh education boards are set to change how matric exams are checked.
From 2026, selected papers will be marked through a digital e-marking system.
This move aims to improve transparency, accuracy, and fairness in results.
Online Checking to Start in Phases
According to official updates, exam form submissions for Classes 9 and 10 will begin soon across Sindh.
Along with this, boards have confirmed changes in the exam evaluation system next year.
Under the new plan, two to three papers in the annual matric exams will be checked using e-marking.
Teachers will assess answer scripts through secure software instead of manual checking.
Federal Board Provides E-Marking Software
To support the shift, the Federal Board has handed over e-marking software to the Department of Universities and Boards.
Sindh’s examination boards will use this system during the checking process.
Officials say the software includes monitoring tools that reduce human error and bias.
It also helps track marking progress in real time.
System to Extend to Intermediate Exams
The e-marking system will not stop at matric level.
In 2026, two to three papers of intermediate annual exams will also be checked digitally across Sindh boards.
This step brings uniformity between matric and intermediate assessments.
It also aligns Sindh with modern exam practices already used in other boards.
Officials Welcome the Decision
Board officials have welcomed the initiative.
They call it a major step toward transparent and fair examinations.
Dr Ghulam Ali Mallah, Executive Director of IBCC Islamabad, confirmed that both exams and checking will be managed through IT-based systems.
He said digital marking strengthens trust in the examination process.
Pilot Already Tested in 2025
The transition has already started.
In 2025, the Mathematics paper for Classes 9 and 10 was checked using e-marking.
This pilot test helped boards prepare for full implementation.
Officials say the results were encouraging.
Conclusion
Sindh’s move to e-marking marks a major reform in the education system.
From 2026, digital checking will bring more fairness, speed, and accuracy to matric and intermediate exams.
