In Punjab, students entering 9th grade will soon have more choices for their matriculation studies.
The School Education Department has introduced three new groups—Health Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, and Fashion Designing—alongside the existing Matric Science and Matric Arts options. These new groups will be available from the academic session 2025-26, giving students a chance to explore fields that align with their interests and future goals.
To prepare for this change, the department has shared subject lists for these groups and asked district education officials to gather data on student preferences. Textbook printing will be adjusted based on the number of students enrolling in each group.
