This regulatory framework serves as a formal evaluation and approval process undertaken by the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) as mandated in its Act XIII of 2023 under Article 3(3)(f). The purpose of this framework is to ensure that the Qualification Awarding Body (QAB) meet the established standards of quality and compliance in Pakistan. Before commencing operations within the country, a foreign QAB/examination body is required to get registered with the IBCC. This rigorous process verifies the credibility, relevance, and alignment of offered qualifications with Pakistan’s national education standards.
This framework applies to all QABs/foreign examination boards and institutions offering education programs up to Grade 12 intending to operate within Pakistan.
The IBCC’s Regulatory Committee shall evaluate the QABs based on the following standards:
The QAB must display a thorough process of developing, delivering, and validating qualifications in their country of origin.
The curriculum and content must meet Pakistan’s educational standards, reflecting cultural sensitivity and respect for local norms, to be ascertained by the National Curriculum Council of Pakistan or any other body at the Federal level.
The QAB may submit an online application form with required documents and pay the prescribed application fee.
The IBCC will review the application and may request any additional information, if necessary.
The Regulatory Committee may conduct a visit to verify the presence, facilities, and operational processes of the QAB in its country of origin and its affiliated study centers in Pakistan.
The Regulatory Committee will prepare an evaluation report based on the adherence to standards mentioned in the regulatory framework.
The Competent Authority will make the final decision based on the recommendations of Regulatory Committee. The registration status may be granted as follows:
Note: The registration process generally takes 3 to 6 months; however, depending on fulfilling all requirements, the duration may exceed this time period.
