Pakistani intermediate students celebrating after FBISE announces 2026 results

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has released the intermediate exam results for 2026, and once again, girls have taken most of the top spots. FBISE announced the HSSC Part I and Part II outcomes on Wednesday, closing out months of waiting for over two hundred thousand students across the country.

Female students secured 11 of the 15 top positions spread across the five major groups: pre-medical, pre-engineering, computer science, commerce, and humanities. It’s a pattern that’s held for several years running at FBISE, and this year was no exception.

Overall Pass Percentage and Candidate Numbers

A total of 212,416 candidates sat the annual examinations this year. The board put the overall pass rate at 85.95 percent for HSSC Part II, while HSSC Part I students recorded a pass rate of 65.31 percent, a fairly typical gap between the two years given how first-year results tend to run lower.

Those numbers land close to last year’s figures, suggesting the board’s grading pattern hasn’t shifted dramatically. Students who cleared their papers can now check their FBISE result online through the board’s official result portal using their roll number.

Who Topped the FBISE Intermediate Groups

In pre-medical, Ammara Azhar of Army Public School and College (Girls), Rawalpindi Cantt, took first position with 1,079 marks. Muhammad Jahanzaib of Punjab College of Science, Blue Area, followed with 1,078, and Syeda Iman Fatima of Army Public School and College, Gujranwala Cantonment, rounded out the top three with 1,076.

Pre-engineering went entirely to girls this year. Rameen Arjumand from Army Public School and College Girls, Rawalpindi Cantt, topped the group with 1,075 marks, ahead of Zainab Sami with 1,070 and Ansa Fatima with 1,068.

Commerce followed a similar pattern. Aqsa Farooq of HCCS Educational System, Rawalpindi, led with 1,051 marks, with Aiza Afzal and Amina Asif taking second and third with 1,047 and 1,046 marks respectively.

In humanities, Iman Fatima came out on top with 1,007 marks, followed by Amina Azhar with 1,003. Yahya Fazal and Umair Raza shared third position with 1,002 marks each, the only boys to break into the group’s top three.

What FBISE Officials Said

FBISE Chairman Dr Ikram Ali Malik confirmed the overall pass rate and said the results point to consistent academic performance across groups this year. The board did not flag any major irregularities in the marking or compilation process, and result cards are being issued to affiliated colleges over the coming days.

Why Girls Keep Leading FBISE Results

This isn’t a one-off. Girls have topped FBISE’s merit lists in the pre-medical and commerce groups for several consecutive annual sessions, and this year’s humanities sweep continues that run. Education officials attending past FBISE ceremonies have pointed to steadier attendance and stronger exam-day discipline among female candidates as part of the explanation, though the board itself hasn’t published a formal study on the gap.

For families and colleges, the practical impact is more immediate. University admissions in medicine, engineering, and business programs across Islamabad and Rawalpindi rely heavily on these merit numbers, so this year’s toppers will have a real edge in securing seats at competitive institutions.

What Comes Next

Students who want to apply for rechecking or recounting of their papers can do so through their respective colleges within the deadline FBISE sets after each result announcement, typically two to three weeks. Admissions for undergraduate programs tied to these results are expected to open shortly, with several public-sector universities already indicating they’ll begin processing applications once verified transcripts are available.

The board has also indicated that Part-I position holders will carry their standing into next year’s combined merit calculation for Part-II, so this year’s high scorers in HSSC-I are already positioned well for next year’s overall list.

FAQs

Can I check my FBISE results by roll number? 

Yes. FBISE publishes intermediate results on its official result portal, and students only need their roll number to view their marks. It’s worth double-checking the roll number against your admit card before searching, since even a single-digit mismatch will return no result. Colleges also receive physical result cards separately, usually within a week or two of the online announcement, which students can collect if they run into any issue accessing the site.

Who got the highest marks in FBISE this year? 

Ammara Azhar of Army Public School and College (Girls), Rawalpindi Cantt, secured the highest marks overall in the pre-medical group with 1,079 out of the total marks, making her one of this year’s leading position holders across all five groups announced by the board.

What is the result date of class 9, 2026? 

FBISE announced SSC Part I and Part II results for 2026 separately from the intermediate results, with the SSC results declared earlier in the year. Class 9 students who are still awaiting supplementary or improvement results should check the board’s official announcements page, since FBISE typically issues a separate notice for these before the next academic session begins.
