How to Get Your Roll Number Slip

The most common process:
- Your school submits examination forms to the board

- Your school distributes slips to students
Your school principal or exam in-charge will call students to collect slips. If you have not received your slip 2 weeks before exams, contact your school administration immediately.

How to Use Your Roll Number Slip on Exam Day
- Bring the slip to every exam — Different subjects on different days; bring the slip each time
- Show at the gate — Security and invigilators verify slips at entry
- Write roll number on your answer sheet — Always copy it exactly from your slip
- Keep it safe — Do not fold, tear, or wet the slip
- After exams — Keep the slip until you receive your DMC — you may need your roll number for result checking
Using Roll Number for Result Checking
After results are announced, your roll number is used to:
- Check result online at the board's website
- Check result via SMS (send to 800290 for Punjab boards)
- Check result on Result10th.pk
- Identify yourself when collecting DMC
The roll number on your DMC will match your roll number slip.
How Roll Number Format Works
Punjab BISE board roll numbers are typically 7-9 digits:
- First 2-3 digits: School/center code
- Remaining digits: Sequential student number
For example, a roll number like "123456" means student 456 from center 123. This format helps boards organize thousands of exam centers systematically.
