Compulsory and Elective Subjects
9th class students take compulsory subjects — English, Urdu, Islamiyat (or Ethics for non-Muslim students), and Pakistan Studies — alongside a science or humanities group of electives (Biology/Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry for science; or subjects like Civics, Economics, or Food & Nutrition for other groups, depending on your school’s offerings).
Where to Get the Official Syllabus
