The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore has taken a significant step toward digital transformation by launching a QR Code Service to simplify the verification of academic documents. This innovative system aimed at combating counterfeit degrees and ensuring seamless online verification for educational institutions and employers.
How the QR Code Service Works
Under the new system, all academic certificates, roll number slips, and result cards issued by BISE Lahore will now feature unique QR codes. By scanning these codes with any smartphone, users can instantly verify the authenticity of documents through a secure online platform.
This initiative eliminates the need for lengthy manual processes, offering faster and more reliable verification methods. However, institutions requiring validation through the Higher Education Commission (HEC) will continue to follow traditional procedures for degree attestation.
Combating Counterfeit Degrees
The primary objective of this system is to address the growing issue of counterfeit academic documents. The QR code service ensures that academic records are tamper-proof, providing peace of mind to employers and institutions.
With this digital leap, BISE Lahore has not only enhanced the security of its records but also streamlined the entire process for students and stakeholders.
