LAHORE: All nine Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISEs) across Punjab officially declared the SSC Part-II (Matric) Annual Examination Result 2026 on Thursday at 10:00 AM, under the unified schedule of the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen (PBCC).
More than 850,000 students across the province’s nine boards — Lahore, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sargodha, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur, and Dera Ghazi Khan — sat for this year’s exams and were able to check their results simultaneously through the boards’ official websites, SMS services, and gazette notifications.
The BISE Lahore Board, the largest in Punjab, declared results for around 285,000 candidates from Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, and Nankana Sahib districts. Amina Mahboob of The Educators High School for Girls, Pattoki, Kasur, was confirmed as the overall provincial topper, having secured 1,192 marks out of 1,200 — the highest score across all Punjab boards this year.
Reacting to the result, Punjab’s Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat took to social media platform X to congratulate the province’s top achievers, noting that the overall Punjab topper hailed from The Educators School, Pattoki, while the second position was secured by an orphan boy studying at a government Danish School, and the third position went to a student of Punjab Schools, Lahore. He remarked that this year’s results reflected a healthy mix of both public and private sector institutions producing top performers across different boards, and credited Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s team for ensuring transparent conduct of exams, which he said safeguarded the results of the province’s children. The minister extended his best wishes to all students awaiting their results.
Position holders across the province had already been announced a day earlier, on August 5, with toppers from Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Sargodha, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur, Rawalpindi, and DG Khan boards being felicitated ahead of the main result. Female students once again dominated several merit lists across the province, continuing a multi-year trend of strong academic performance by girls in Matric examinations.
This year’s exams were conducted under a revised passing criterion, with the minimum passing percentage raised from 33 to 40 percent, meaning students had to work harder to clear their subjects compared to previous years. Officials say the change was aimed at improving academic standards across Punjab’s secondary education system.
Students who could not clear one or more subjects will be eligible to appear in the Supplementary/Compartment Examination expected to be held in the coming months. Meanwhile, successful candidates are being urged to begin their intermediate college admissions process, with most government colleges setting application deadlines for late August and September.
Board officials confirmed that detailed mark sheets, subject-wise scores, and gazette copies are now available online, and Detailed Marks Certificates (DMCs) will be issued to schools and candidates through designated camp offices in the coming days.
