Punjab's intermediate boards (BISE) have released the fee submission schedule for the Second Annual Examination 2026 for Intermediate Part-I (11th Class) and Part-II (12th Class), and the window to submit your admission form at the lowest fee tier is closing fast. The exams themselves are scheduled to begin on 3 November 2026, which means the fee deadlines below cover the roughly four weeks of lead time students have to get registered.

The three fee tiers, and what they mean for you

Punjab boards have structured this cycle around three submission windows, each carrying a different cost:

Single fee: forms submitted between 24 September and 6 October 2026 are charged the standard, base examination fee.

Double fee: miss the first window, and forms submitted from 7 to 13 October 2026 are charged double the standard fee.

Triple fee: the final window, from 14 to 17 October 2026, charges triple the standard fee — and after 17 October, based on past cycles, boards typically do not accept further submissions at all, meaning a student who misses this last window risks losing the chance to sit the exam this session entirely.

In practical terms: a student who submits today, before 6 October, pays the least. A student who waits even one extra week pays double for no additional benefit. There is no advantage to delaying beyond the single-fee window other than postponing the actual payment itself.

What the single fee actually costs

Using BISE Lahore's published fee structure as a reference point, Intermediate Part-I students pay a basic examination fee of Rs 1,050, whether they are in Science, Arts-with-practicals or Arts-without-practicals streams. On top of that base fee, regular candidates also pay a Rs 870 processing fee, an Rs 80 scholarship fee and an Rs 350 development fee. Private candidates pay the same set of charges plus an additional Rs 280 sports fee, since they are not enrolled through a college that already covers that contribution.

For Intermediate Part-II, the basic examination fee is also Rs 1,050, though students should confirm the full breakdown of additional charges with their own board, since Punjab's BISEs — Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sahiwal and others — administer their own fee collection and can vary slightly in processing or development charges even when the core examination fee is aligned.

These figures are current for BISE Lahore specifically; if you are registered under a different Punjab board, use your own board's fee notice as the authoritative source rather than assuming every board charges an identical total, since scholarship, development and sports fee components are set at the board level.

Why this applies to second annual candidates specifically

The Second Annual Examination exists for students who did not clear all subjects in their first annual attempt, or who are improving their marks in specific papers. If you fall into either category for Part-I or Part-II, this fee schedule and the 3 November exam date are the ones that apply to you — don't confuse this cycle with the main annual examination schedule, which runs on separate dates earlier in the year.

What to do now

If you haven't yet submitted your admission form, do it before 6 October to pay the single fee and avoid an unnecessary double or triple charge for the exact same examination. Collect your fee challan from your college or board office, confirm the exact total for your specific stream and candidate type (regular or private), and deposit it through your board's designated bank before the single-fee window closes.

Given that forms submitted after 17 October are typically not accepted at all in past cycles, students should treat even the triple-fee window as a true last resort rather than a comfortable fallback — the safest and cheapest path is to register now, well ahead of the 3 November exam date.
