FBISE SSC (Matric) Islamiyat (Compulsory) (IX): syllabus, papers and marking
Islamiyat sits once, at SSC-I, as a 100-mark paper covering both years. Twenty MCQs score automatically; the 80 written marks need accurate text and the right reference.

FBISE SSC Islamiyat: where the marks go
FBISE Islamiyat at SSC follows the National Curriculum 2022-23 and an SLO-based model paper. Under the Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024 the subject is examined once, at SSC-I, as a single 100-mark paper that covers the SLOs of both Class IX and X. A 20-mark MCQ section runs for 25 minutes, and the remaining 80 marks are 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
- The 20 MCQs are scored automatically against the key.
- Short and detailed answers are marked for correct text, translation and the point made, with spelling of names and sources checked.
- Each lost mark is mapped back to the SLO or domain behind it, so revision targets the outcome and not just the chapter.
Where FBISE SSC Islamiyat candidates lose marks
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Biographical details muddled — Dates, places and the order of events in seerat questions are checked, and a confused sequence loses the explanation mark.
