FBISE HSSC (Intermediate) Islamic Education (Islamiyat) (XI): syllabus, papers and marking

Islamic Education is a 50-mark paper at HSSC-I: ten MCQs score automatically and forty marks are written answers.

FBISE HSSC Islamiyat: where the marks go

FBISE Islamiyat at HSSC follows the National Curriculum 2022-23 and an SLO-based model paper. The subject is examined once, at HSSC-I, as a 50-mark paper: a 10-mark MCQ section in 15 minutes and 40 marks of written answers. Marks are won on accurate text and translation, the right reference or example, and answers sized to the marks offered.

AdmitPortfolio builds Islamiyat papers to the layout in the board's model paper, with the same section split, internal choice and mark values. Objective sections score automatically; written answers are marked question by question as each rubric is released, and the concept behind each lost mark is named.

How each paper is marked here

Where FBISE HSSC Islamiyat candidates lose marks

  1. Ayah or hadith quoted inexactly — Marks go to the correct text and translation. Approximate wording or a misattributed narration loses the mark even when the idea is right.
  2. Teachings given with no reference or example — Longer answers expect the source or an event from the Prophet's life, not a general moral statement.
  3. Answers out of proportion to the marks — A three-mark question needs three clear points. Writing a page for it, or two lines for a six-mark answer, leaves marks behind.
  4. Biographical details muddled — Dates, places and the order of events in seerat questions are checked, and a confused sequence loses the explanation mark.
