About Ustad AI — Bibliography & R&D References

Every Student Learning Outcome (SLO) in Ustad AI is mapped against the National Curriculum guidelines across Physics, Chemistry & Biology for Grade 9 & 10. Foundational references are the Punjab Textbook Board (PCTB) textbooks for each subject, cross-checked against international science programs.

Khalid Jaffar

Founder & Educational Director

I spent 25 years in Pakistan's education system — as a teacher, as a principal, and as a director. I built Ustad AI because I saw how many teachers struggle to create quality, board-aligned assessments under tight schedules. Every paper generator on this site is shaped by real classroom experience, not abstract theory. My goal is simple: give Pakistani teachers and students the tools they deserve — accurate, SLO-mapped papers in seconds, in English and Urdu.

Our Mission

Give every PCTB Grade 9 & 10 teacher and student board-accurate, SLO-aligned papers in seconds — in English and Urdu.

What Makes Us Different

Not generic AI questions. Every item is anchored to a specific SLO from the official PCTB scheme of studies.

Who It's For

Teachers preparing class tests, tuition centers running mocks, and students self-assessing chapter-wise.

Powered by Ustad AI Research & Development Hub

Our R&D team continuously cross-references the PCTB curriculum for Physics, Chemistry and Biology with international science benchmarks — to deliver the most accurate, board-standard paper generation and AI-driven assessment tools in Pakistan.
