Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar

What Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar does

Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar (BISE Peshawar, operating as BISEP) is a statutory government body established in 1961 under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa education framework, with exclusive legal authority to conduct Secondary School Certificate (SSC, classes 9–10) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC, classes 11–12) examinations and to issue associated academic certifications within its jurisdiction of Peshawar, Charsadda, Mohmand, Khyber, and Chitral districts. Headquartered on Jamrud Road in Peshawar, the board operates one head office, seven district-level camp offices, and an additional sports complex, and it functions under the oversight of a Chairman (currently Mr. Khuda Bakhsh) and Board of Governors within the Elementary and Secondary Education Department of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its authority is anchored in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Conduct of Examinations (Eradication of Malpractices) Act, 1995.

BISE Peshawar has built out a digital service ecosystem spanning examination administration and post-examination services. Core platforms include the BISEP Portal System (portal.bisep.edu.pk) for affiliated institution enrollment, registration, and renewals; an Online Admission Portal for SSC and HSSC Annual-I Examination 2026; a Roll Number Slips portal; Online On-Screen Marking (E-Marking) for English, Urdu, Physics, Chemistry, and (as of 2026) Pak Studies and Computer Science; a Digital Attendance and Examination Monitoring System (DAMS) mobile application; an Online Retotalling system with auto-generated bank deposit slips and tracking IDs; an Online Affiliation system; a Migration portal for board-to-board and institution-to-institution transfers; a Document Verification system (services.bisep.com.pk); and a Duplicate Documents service. Compliance is signaled by ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification achieved in 2018.

The board runs on a transaction-based fee model rather than a traditional commercial revenue engine. Published fees include certificate issuance (Rs.500–2,300), retotalling (Rs.690 per paper), UFM appeals (Rs.1,725), grace marks (Rs.345), full result cancellation (Rs.3,000), examination center creation (Rs.80,000), center change (Rs.4,000), date-of-birth corrections via court (Rs.3,000), verifications (Rs.805–1,000), and migration certificates (Rs.1,150). Fees are collected through Allied Bank of Pakistan and MCB Bank branches across the jurisdiction, with the One Window physical service center and camp offices handling form submissions and document pickup. Customer segments are students (primary), affiliated educational institutions, and general public/employers for verification; ancillary services include sports facilities at nominal charges and National Talent Scholarships for position holders. As a government entity, the board is also publicly funded through education department budgets and is not exposed to private equity, venture capital, or shareholder dynamics.
