BBISE Matric (SSC) Mathematics (Class IX): syllabus, papers and marking
The 75-mark Class IX paper of the new BBISE syllabus: 15 MCQs, any 12 three-mark questions and four six-mark questions.
BBISE model papers for SSC-I Examination 2026 onwards (new syllabus), published 30 July 2026 · Annual and Second Annual series · grades A++ to U (IBCC scale)
BBISE Matric Mathematics: where the marks go
BBISE’s Class IX Mathematics model paper under the new syllabus is 75 marks: 15 MCQs, any 12 short questions at three marks (36) and four six-mark questions (24). The questions cover sets, factorisation, logarithms, linear inequalities, trigonometric ratios, equations of lines, polygon angles, statistics and probability, and a word problem on exponential growth.
Marks are lost on missing method and sign errors that carry through a long line of working. Our papers follow the published structure and mark method and answer separately.
Paper structure and what we mark
| Paper | Time | Marks | Weight | Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class IX · Part I — Multiple Choice (Class IX) | — | 15 | 20% | 15 MCQs, 1 mark each, no cutting or rubbing |
| Class IX · Part II — Short Questions (Class IX) | — | 36 | 48% | Any 12 short questions, 3 marks each |
| Class IX · Part III — Long Questions (Class IX) | — | 24 | 32% | Four questions of 6 marks each, solve the following |
Syllabus outline
- Topics tested in the 2026 model paper (the board has not posted a chapter list):
- Sets and operations on sets
- Logarithms and radicals
- Factorisation and algebraic manipulation
- Linear inequalities and simultaneous equations
- Trigonometric ratios
- Equations of lines and slope
- Triangles, quadrilaterals and regular polygons
- Statistics and probability
- Exponential growth in word problems
How each paper is marked here
- The fifteen MCQs are scored automatically against the key.
- Short and long questions are marked on method and answer separately.
- Word problems are marked on the set-up as well as the final value.
Where BBISE Matric Mathematics candidates lose marks
- Method not shown — A bare final answer on a four- or eight-mark question forfeits the method marks; show the formula and each substitution.
- Sign errors when expanding or transposing — A dropped minus sign in factorisation, quadratic or logarithm work carries through every later line and is rarely rescued.
- Constructions and proofs without justification — Geometry answers need the stated reason beside each step (given, theorem, construction), not just the conclusion.
- Wrong form of the answer — Answers left as unsimplified fractions, surds or decimals to the wrong accuracy lose the final mark.
- Graph or diagram without scale and labels — Coordinate geometry, statistics and trigonometry diagrams earn marks for the scale, axes and labelled points.

Questions teachers ask
- Why is there only Class IX?
- BBISE’s 2026 model papers are published for Class IX (SSC-I) only; a Class X layout has not been verified.
- Is the time printed?
- The model paper prints 75 marks but we did not find a duration, so it is left blank.
- Is this official BBISE marking?
- No. Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Quetta marks the real exam. This is examiner-style marking of mocks and homework for BBISE Matric Mathematics. Only you see the marking, and you decide what reaches the student.
- Do you reproduce past-paper questions?
- No. Every Class IX paper here is original and written to the bbise model papers for ssc-i examination 2026 onwards (new syllabus), published 30 july 2026, in the same structure as the real papers shown above.
- Which papers are marked?
- None yet are marked question by question; Class IX · Part I are scored instantly. Practical exams sat at the centre are not marked here.
- How is the next paper chosen?
- From the marks a student lost: the concepts behind them are ranked by marks dropped, and the new paper weights those topics. It is the same syllabus and structure, with new questions.
- When are the exams?
- Annual and Second Annual series. Grades A++ to U (IBCC scale).
