Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Larkana
Description
The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Larkana was established in 1995 to regulate and promote secondary and higher secondary education in several districts of Sindh, including Larkana, Kamber-Shahdadkot, Shikarpur, Jacobabad, and Kashmore. The board's primary responsibilities include the conduction of examinations (SSC and HSC), issuance of certificates, affiliation of schools and colleges, and upholding the standards of education in its jurisdiction. It plays a critical role in facilitating fair and transparent assessments, especially for students in remote and underserved regions.
BISE Larkana functions through a structured administrative framework comprising various departments that collaborate to carry out its academic and operational mandates. At the core of this structure is the Administration Department, which oversees the overall governance, policy implementation, internal coordination, and board-level decision-making. This department ensures that all procedures comply with provincial education policies and standards, while also coordinating between departments to maintain efficiency.
The Examinations Department is one of the most essential units of the board. It is responsible for preparing and conducting annual and supplementary examinations at both the secondary and intermediate levels. This includes scheduling, printing and distributing question papers, managing examination centers, and ensuring a fair environment for candidates. After the exams, the department also handles the compilation and announcement of results, rechecking applications, and result corrections.
Supporting the examination process is the Confidential Section, which deals with highly sensitive tasks such as setting question papers, securing printing processes, and ensuring secrecy protocols are followed to prevent any form of leakage or malpractice. This department operates under strict confidentiality and is vital to maintaining the integrity of the board’s examination system.
The Affiliation Department manages the registration and affiliation of educational institutions. It conducts inspections, verifies faculty and infrastructure standards, and grants or withdraws affiliations based on compliance with board regulations. Educational institutions in the jurisdiction must meet certain academic and administrative criteria to be officially affiliated with BISE Larkana.
The Finance Department handles the board’s budgeting, accounts, and fee collection. This department oversees the financial operations including student registration fees, examination fees, and salary disbursements for board staff and examiners. Accurate financial management is crucial for sustaining the board’s services and maintaining public trust.
Another important wing is the IT and Web Cell Department, which manages the board’s digital operations. It ensures timely updates on the board’s official website, provides online access to exam schedules, results, forms, and notifications, and supports the digital transformation of internal processes. This department has been instrumental in improving access and transparency for students and institutions alike.
Additionally, departments like the Academic Section, Legal Affairs, and Public Relations contribute to the board’s effectiveness. The academic team reviews and recommends curricular changes and coordinates with educational stakeholders. The legal cell handles disputes, appeals, and regulatory compliance, while the public relations unit addresses inquiries and facilitates communication with the public.
Through the coordinated efforts of these departments, BISE Larkana strives to uphold educational integrity, support institutional development, and ensure that students receive timely and transparent academic evaluations. The board continues to modernize its functions to meet the growing demands of the education sector across interior Sindh.
