Inter Board Coordination Commission (IBCC) is a federal government education body in Pakistan. It is responsible for the recognition of 'A and O Levels' in Pakistan and is authorized to recognize examinations and results of online home learning programs completed at the matriculation level as well as providing equivalence for further education.[1]
History[edit]
The Inter-Boards Committee of Chairman (IBCC) was reconstituted and reconstituted as the Inter-Boards Coordination Commission by an Act of Parliament.[2] The legislation strengthened the IBCC to regulate foreign boards, certify and equate foreign and local qualifications for grades 9–12, and provide a platform for the exchange of ideas.[3]
Changes in examination system[edit]
For the year 2024, the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has announced major changes in matriculation and inter-practical examinations. A nationwide committee of chairmen of education boards decided to replace the existing grading system at the Matric (Grade X) and Inter (Grade XII) levels with a 10-point system across the country.[4]
| Grade | Description | Percentage Range |
|---|---|---|
| A++ | Exceptional | 95-100% |
| A+ | Outstanding | 90-95% |
| A | Remarkable | 85-90% |
| B++ | Excellent | 80-85% |
| B+ | Very Good | 75-80% |
| B | Good | 70-75% |
| C | Fair | 60-70% |
| D | Satisfactory | 50-60% |
| E | Sufficient | 40-50% |
Online attestation and equivalence certification[edit]
In 2023, IBCC, as part of its comprehensive reform agenda, moved its entire system of authentication and equivalency certification online using QR code-based technology.[1] This online system allows students to pursue their education through online schooling programs up to Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or Matriculation.[5]
