Pairing Scheme 2027
The pairing scheme is the official paper pattern for the 2027 Punjab board exams: how many MCQs, short and long questions each chapter carries, how many you must attempt, and the marks and time for each part. We have typed out PECTAA’s schemes subject by subject.
It works together with the smart syllabus 2027, which lists the topics that won’t be asked at all.
