The Karachi Matric Board announced the results for the 2026 Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Part-II Science Group annual examinations on Friday [1].
These results determine the academic trajectory for thousands of students in Karachi, serving as the primary gateway for entry into higher secondary education and specialized science streams.
According to official data, 175,200 students appeared in the examination papers [2]. Other records indicate that 141,000 students were registered for the exams [3]. The disparity in these figures may reflect the inclusion of private candidates or repeat examinees who sat for the tests alongside registered regular students.
Of those who took the examinations, 35,529 candidates were successful [4]. The board released the data to allow students to determine their eligibility for college admissions and further academic pursuits in the science disciplines.
Officials said that the process of declaring the results follows the completion of the annual examination cycle. The board has made the results available through its official channels to ensure students can access their scores promptly.
Students who passed the SSC Part-II Science Group exams now move toward the intermediate level of education. This transition is critical for those intending to pursue careers in medicine, engineering, or pure sciences, as the Science Group curriculum provides the necessary foundation for these professional degrees.
“A total of 175,200 appeared in papers”
The release of these results marks a pivotal transition point for the youth of Karachi. With a significant gap between the number of students who appeared and those declared successful, the data highlights the rigorous nature of the SSC Science Group examinations and the competitive pressure facing students entering the Pakistani higher education system.
