The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) has officially released the admit cards for the upcoming Class 12 board examinations scheduled for 2026. In a simultaneous announcement, the board has also issued the Matriculation (Class 10) March 2026 admit cards, marking a crucial step in the examination preparation process for thousands of students across the state.
Admit Card Distribution Process for Regular Students
According to the official notification from PSEB, the admit cards for both Class 12 and Class 10 examinations were made accessible to schools through the board's official portal starting at 12 pm. This digital distribution system is designed to streamline the process and ensure timely availability.
Important guidelines for regular students include:
- Only authorized school authorities are permitted to download the admit cards from the official website
- The downloaded admit cards must be signed by the school principal before being issued to students
- Regular students of both Class 12 and Class 10 are not allowed to download their admit cards independently
- Students must collect their signed admit cards from their respective schools at least one week before the examinations commence
Verification Instructions for Students
Upon receiving their admit cards, students have been instructed to carefully verify all printed details to prevent any inconvenience during the examination process. The verification should include:
- Student's full name as per official records
- Roll number assigned for the examinations
- Examination dates and schedule
- Designated examination centre details
- All printed instructions and guidelines
In case of any discrepancy or error in the admit card details, students must immediately inform their school administration. The school authorities will then initiate correction procedures within the time limit prescribed by PSEB to ensure all necessary amendments are completed before the examinations begin.
Process for Private Candidates
Private candidates appearing for the Class 12 examinations have a different procedure for obtaining their admit cards. These candidates can download their hall tickets directly from the official PSEB website by following these steps:
- Select the appropriate batch or examination category
- Enter the required login credentials
