How do I apply for admission and examinations in government educational institutes?
Matriculation and Intermediate examinations are conducted by the nine boards in Punjab; no student can sit an examination without registration with a board. Registration of a regular student is the responsibility of the school or college. Private students apply online through their board’s website.
Admission in government colleges for F.A. / F.Sc. commences immediately after declaration of SSC results. Admission on transfer basis from board to board or college to college is made within 45 days of withdrawal from the previous institution, subject to the board’s determination of eligibility.
How do I apply for a domicile?
You can apply online through the Punjab IT Board’s website or the E-Khidmat Markaz, or offline through your local Tehsildar at the Revenue Department office. Documents include CNIC / Form B, father’s or husband’s NIC, birth or school certificate, bank receipt and two photographs.
