The Rawalpindi Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (RBISE) has cancelled its earlier decision to postpone the morning and evening Computer Science papers in Jhelum district.
Both papers of the Intermediate Second Annual Examination 2026 will now take place on November 10, as listed in the original date sheet.
Controller of Examinations Mubashir Saeed said the competent authority had withdrawn the postponement notification after considering students’ educational needs and examination arrangements.
He confirmed that all examination centres across Jhelum district would conduct both sessions according to the previously announced schedule. Saeed stressed that no examination centre in the district would postpone either Computer Science paper.
The board announced the reversal on November 9 after Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz removed Jhelum Deputy Commissioner Mir Raza Ozgen over his recommendation to reschedule the papers.
Ozgen had sought the postponement because of the chief minister’s expected visit to Jhelum on November 10.
In a letter to the board, he said the deployment of administrative and security staff for the visit would make it difficult to conduct the examination without disruption.
He requested another examination date, arguing that the change would prevent inconvenience to students and allow authorities to manage both the papers and the visit smoothly. However, the postponement drew scrutiny and criticism on social media.
Maryam subsequently announced on X that she had removed the deputy commissioner with immediate effect. She said she had already instructed officials to ensure that her district visits caused no inconvenience or disruption to the public.
She described the decision to postpone the papers as a violation of those directions. Maryam also confirmed that the Computer Science papers would proceed on November 10 under the original schedule.
She criticised the district administration’s handling of the matter and said its actions would not alter the examination timetable.
