The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE), Islamabad, is inviting graduates to apply for invigilator duty at the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Second Annual Examination 2026, which began on 12 November 2026. The call for invigilators, known as Nigran duty, was issued by the Controller of Examinations (Administration) under official notice PID(I)3994/26, and nominations are being accepted online through the board's nominations portal.

Invigilators supervise examination centres while the papers are under way, so the board is looking for candidates who can take up duty at centres in their own localities. The notice covers male and female candidates from across Pakistan, and applications are made online only, as FBISE does not accept manual or couriered applications for invigilation duty.

Who can apply

Applicants must hold at least a graduation degree, such as a BA, BSc, B.Com, BS or an equivalent qualification recognised by the Higher Education Commission, covering 14 or 16 years of education. Candidates must be at least 20 years old at the time of application, with age verified through their Computerised National Identity Card. The board asks for an attested graduation degree and an attested character certificate, signed and stamped by a government school headmaster or principal or an FBISE-affiliated institution, along with a current photograph and a copy of the CNIC.

Candidates can select up to three preferred examination centres where they would like to perform duty, choosing from the board's published list of expected centres across the country. The online form also asks for bank account details, including the bank name, branch code, IBAN and RAAST ID, because payment for the duty is made directly into the applicant's own bank account, and the form carries a declaration that the details given are correct.

How to nominate

Applications are submitted through the official nominations form at nominations.fbise.edu.pk/form. Candidates fill in their personal information, upload their degree and character certificate, select their preferred centres and submit the form online. The same form also covers Bank Inspector duty, and applicants select at least one of the two roles when they apply.

The notice does not print a closing date for nominations, and the portal remains open and accepting applications. Candidates who wish to be considered for the second annual examinations should therefore apply promptly, as the examinations are already under way. For queries, the board lists the helpline 051-9269510 and the email address controller.ta@fbise.edu.pk.

What the duty involves

Invigilators are responsible for supervising candidates inside the examination hall, checking that examination rules are followed and reporting to the centre superintendent. It is short-term, exam-season work rather than a permanent appointment, and it is commonly taken up by graduates looking for paid work during the examination session. Applicants should read the instructions on the official portal carefully before submitting, and confirm their centre preferences and documents, as incomplete applications are not considered.
