Exciting news for students and parents in Punjab! The Punjab government has introduced a groundbreaking transformation in the education system, aimed at empowering young minds with modern, career-oriented knowledge.

Starting from the new academic year, matriculation students can choose from an expanded range of subject groups, including Agriculture, Allied Health Sciences, Information Technology, and Entrepreneurship. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to equipping students with skills relevant to today’s dynamic world.

Why This Change Matters
These additions provide students with a chance to explore diverse fields from an early stage, aligning education with industry demands. For instance, students pursuing Allied Health Sciences will benefit from practical exposure, as schools offering this group will be located near District Headquarters (DHQ) and Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) hospitals.

No Change in Exam Marks Structure
The total marks for the matriculation examination will remain 1100, ensuring no disruption to the evaluation process. However, students must make their subject group selection at the start of Grade 9, giving them clarity and focus on their chosen path.

This initiative paves the way for a more versatile, skill-oriented, and prosperous future for the youth of Punjab.
