2nd Year Physics Pairing Scheme 2025 PDF Download – Punjab Boards

2nd Year (Class 12) Physics students under the Punjab boards now have the official 2025 pairing scheme for their board exams. It covers BISE Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, Multan, Bahawalpur, and Dera Ghazi Khan, along with the Azad Kashmir board, and lays out how the 85-mark theory paper is divided across chapters 12 to 21.

Second-year Physics carries some of the toughest numerical chapters in the whole FSC syllabus, so a clear chapter-by-chapter breakdown really helps. This scheme shows the MCQ split, how short questions are grouped in Q.2, Q.3 and Q.4, and which chapters pair up in the five long questions — so you can focus revision where the marks actually are.

Quick Facts

Exam Pattern Breakdown

MCQs — 17 Marks

Chapter	MCQs	Chapter	MCQs	Chapter	MCQs
12	2	16	2	20	1
13	1	17	1	21	2
14	2	18	2
15	2	19	2

The 17 MCQs are distributed across chapters 12 to 21 as shown.

Short Questions — 44 Marks

Q.2 – Chapter	Qs	Q.3 – Chapter	Qs	Q.4 – Chapter	Qs
12	4	13	3	15	3
14	4	16	3	19	4
21	4	17	3	20	2
		18	3

Attempt rules differ by question: Q.2 and Q.3 — attempt any 8 of the 12 offered in each; Q.4 — attempt any 6 of the 9 offered. Qs = number of questions offered from that chapter.

Long Questions — 24 Marks (Attempt 3 out of 5)

Q.5	Q.6	Q.7	Q.8	Q.9
(a) Ch 12 (b) Ch 13	(a) Ch 14 (b) Ch 15	(a) Ch 16 (b) Ch 18	(a) Ch 17 (b) Ch 19	(a) Ch 20 (b) Ch 21

Attempt any 3 of the 5 long questions. Each has parts (a) and (b) from the chapters shown; part (b) does not automatically mean a numerical — either part may carry a numerical or theory question.

Important Things to Know

• The three short-question sections have different rules: Q.2 and Q.3 offer 12 questions each (attempt 8), while Q.4 offers 9 (attempt 6).
• Long questions are drawn from ten chapters across five questions — you attempt any three, so keep your preparation broad.
• Part (b) of a long question is not automatically a numerical — either part can carry one, so don’t skip numericals in any chapter.
• The 2025 paper follows the SLO-based pattern, so it differs a little from older papers; even so, roughly 90% of this scheme is expected to hold.
• This scheme is built around Punjab boards. Prepare all chapters fully rather than relying on the scheme alone.
