BSEK Date Sheet 2027 – Karachi Board 9th & 10th Class (Matric) Exams
Quick answer: The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) has not announced the 2027 date sheet for 9th class (SSC Part I) and 10th class (SSC Part II) yet. As of 17 October 2026, the latest programme we can find from the board is for the Annual Examination 2026. Last year, BSEK’s matric exams were first set for Tuesday 7 April – Saturday 2 May 2026, and the start was then moved to Friday 10 April 2026. Science group papers ran 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM and most General group papers 2:30 – 5:30 PM, Pakistan time.
- No BSEK 2027 matric exam dates have been announced. We will post the official date sheet here as soon as it appears on bsek.edu.pk.
- BSEK conducts the 9th and 10th class (SSC) exams for Karachi in the Science and General groups, for regular and private candidates.
- In 2026, Sindh’s steering committee set matric exams to begin on 31 March; Karachi’s papers actually began on 10 April 2026.
- Inter (1st and 2nd year) exams in Karachi are run by a different board – see our BIEK date sheet 2027 page.
Which date sheet this is
This page tracks the Karachi Board matric date sheet for the Annual Examination 2027: Class IX (SSC Part I) and Class X (SSC Part II), Science and General groups, regular and private candidates. BSEK publishes it as a single “Programme for the Secondary School Certificate” PDF signed by the Controller of Examinations. Until the 2027 PDF is on the board’s website, any “Karachi board 10th class date sheet 2027” shared on social media is not official.
Last year’s BSEK exam schedule (2026) – for reference only
These are the 2026 dates, shown so you can see when the board normally holds its matric exams. They are not the 2027 schedule.

|---|---|
| Original programme | 07.04.2026 Tuesday – 02.05.2026 Saturday |
| Revised start | 10.04.2026 Friday (announced by BSEK on 5 April 2026) |

Original 2026 dates and timings are from BSEK’s official SSC programme PDF. The move to a 10 April start was reported by The News (6 April 2026), after private school associations asked for more time and the board cited problems while moving its systems online. At the time, the board said a revised paper-wise timetable would follow.
When will the BSEK date sheet 2027 come out?
BSEK has not given a release date. The start date for all Sindh boards is normally fixed first by the Sindh education department’s steering committee, and each board then issues its own paper-wise programme shortly before the exams. We check bsek.edu.pk regularly and will add the full 9th and 10th class tables here once they are published.
