ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਮਕਾਉਣ ਜਾਂ ਨੁਕਸਾਨ ਪਹੁੰਚਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਹੁਦੇ ਦੀ ਦੁਰਵਰਤੋਂ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਅਧਿਆਪਕ ਨੂੰ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਿਆ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ: ਹਰਜੋਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਬੈਂਸ
Class 8th students get time till October 30, 2026 to update digitised birth certificates; Class 9th & 10th granted time till next session: Bains*
Chandigarh, July 23: In major relief to students, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann led Punjab Government has granted significant extension to students for obtaining and updating digitised birth certificates on the Unified Student Registration Portal for the 2026-27 academic session. The move aims to ease the digital registration process and ensure no student is denied admission due to documentation delays.
Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains announced the relaxation and stated that Class 8 students who do not have a digitised birth certificate must obtain it and update it on the portal by October 30, 2026. He also granted Class 9 and 10 students time until the registration process for the next academic session to complete the necessary corrections and updates.
Class 8th : state government’s commitment to streamlining the digital transformation of school education
Harjot Singh Bains said that the CM Mann-led state government is committed to streamlining the digital transformation of school education and ensuring that no student is left behind due to procedural hurdles.
Our government commits to ushering in a paperless, transparent, and efficient education system through the Unified Student Registration Portal. However, we are equally sensitive to the practical challenges faced by students and parents. This extension is a testament to our balanced approach — we are modernising our processes, but we will not allow procedural hurdles to impede a child’s education,” stated S. Bains.
The Education Minister directed all school heads to coordinate with parents and complete the registration process smoothly within the stipulated timelines. This decision is part of the Punjab Government’s larger vision of leveraging technology to enhance governance while keeping the interests of students paramount.
