Students across Punjab who missed the deadline to register for Class 11 (HSSC Part-1) have been given extra time, after the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen (PBCC) issued a notification on October 9 extending the admission and registration schedule for the 2026-28 session. Under the original timeline, students could register without a late fee until October 5, with a late-fee window running from October 6 to October 20. The revised schedule now allows registration without any late fee until October 12, and extends the late-fee window to October 27. The late fee itself remains unchanged at Rs. 600 per student. The extension applies to all nine Punjab boards: Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Sahiwal. According to the notification, the relief was granted because a sizeable number of students had not completed admission formalities by the original cutoff, with delays linked to matriculation result processing, rechecking requests, and institutional verification backlogs that typically accompany the transition from Class 10 to Class 11 each year. Students and colleges who already paid the late fee before the new notification take effect will have that amount refunded through their respective boards. To complete registration, students need their matriculation result card, a character certificate, and copies of their B-form or CNIC. The process requires online data entry on the relevant board's portal, generation and payment of a fee challan, and submission of the original paid challan along with a hard copy of the enrolment return verified by the institution's principal. Colleges are responsible for compiling and forwarding this paperwork to their board office within the prescribed time, as late submissions can affect a student's registration status. Students are advised to confirm the exact requirements and any updates with their own institution or board, since implementation details can vary slightly across the nine boards.
