The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Bannu has postponed SSC Annual-II/Oriental Languages examinations scheduled for October 7-10 due to security concerns, including the suspension of mobile phone and internet services.

This decision follows recent terrorist incidents and ongoing military operations against militants in the region.

BISE Bannu postponed the SSC Annual-II/Oriental Languages Examination 2026 scheduled for October 7-10 due to security concerns in the region. The decision was announced on October 3, citing the suspension of mobile phone and internet services which could disrupt communication vital for examinations, such as roll number distribution and duty letters.
