ISLAMABAD: Pakistani intermediate certificates will soon be directly accepted by foreign educational institutions, confirmed Inter-Board Coordination Commission (IBCC) Executive Director Dr. Ghulam Ali Mallah in a recent interview.
Dr. Mallah announced that the long-standing requirement of sealed verification envelopes from relevant boards has been abolished. All 29 national and technical education boards have now transitioned to an online verification system.
The digital shift will also include madrassa certificates, with online verification for religious education credentials expected to launch soon.
He further explained that since 2023, the IBCC has operated as a regulatory body under the IBCC Act, replacing the previous Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen structure.
The commission now regulates foreign educational boards operating in Pakistan via a newly established portal, which is already active. Under this system, foreign qualifications are assessed for equivalence using 15 criteria.
