The 5th class date sheet for 2027 is not out yet
PECTAA releases the Grade 5 schedule a few weeks before the papers begin. Until then, the table below shows the usual paper order so you know what to expect. We fill in the real dates the day the official notification is published — bookmark this page or check back in January.
Grade 5 paper order
The Grade 5 assessment runs one paper per day, in the morning, over about a week. Language papers come first, then Mathematics and General Science, with a free day or two in between.
| Paper | Subject | Day | Date | Reporting time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | English | — | To be announced | Morning |
| 2 | Urdu | — | To be announced | Morning |
| 3 | Islamiyat / Ethics | — | To be announced | Morning |
| 4 | Mathematics | — | To be announced | Morning |
| 5 | General Science | — | To be announced | Morning |
Your roll number slip lists the exact papers and the reporting time for each one.
The 2026 Grade 5 dates, for reference
2026 Grade 5 examination
Grade 5 papers began on 9 February 2026. The result was announced with Grade 8 in April 2026. Treat this as a guide to the timing, not a prediction for 2027.
How to read the date sheet
Paper order and gap days
Read the table top to bottom — each row is one paper. The timetable leaves one or more free days between papers for revision; use a gap day for the next subject, not as a break.
Reporting time
Grade 5 papers are in the morning. The time on your roll number slip is when to be seated — plan to reach the centre at least 30 minutes earlier. A parent should drop off and collect a Grade 5 child.
If two papers clash
The schedule is built so a candidate never sits two papers on one day. If your slip shows a genuine clash, tell your school and the board office before the exams begin.
On the day of the paper
- Roll number slip — the original, plus a photo on a parent's phone as backup.
- Clear stationery bag — blue/black pens, pencils, eraser, sharpener, ruler.
- A water bottle and a light snack for after the paper.
- No phone or smart watch in the hall.
- Arrive 30 minutes early in uniform; a parent drops off and collects.
