This guide compiles historical data on BISE board pass rates, A1 percentages, and result trends for 10th class (SSC Part 2) examinations in Pakistan.

2026 Matric Result Statistics — Live Update

Statistics for 2026 will be updated on result day, August 6, 2026.

| Board | Students Appeared | Passed | Pass Rate | A1 Students | A1 % | |-------|------------------|--------|-----------|-------------|------| | BISE Lahore | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | | BISE Faisalabad | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | | BISE Multan | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | | BISE Sargodha | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | | BISE Karachi | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA |

Historical Pass Rates — All BISE Boards

Based on data from 2019–2024 annual examinations:

BISE Lahore Pass Rate History

| Year | Students Appeared | Pass Rate | A1 Grade % | |------|------------------|-----------|------------| | 2024 | ~380,000 | ~68% | ~12% | | 2023 | ~370,000 | ~65% | ~11% | | 2022 | ~365,000 | ~72% | ~14% | | 2019 | ~340,000 | ~61% | ~9% |

BISE Lahore typically has a pass rate of 60–72%, making it one of the more competitive Punjab boards. Post-COVID years (2021–2022) saw unusually high pass rates due to relaxed marking policies.

BISE Faisalabad Pass Rate History

| Year | Pass Rate | Notes | |------|-----------|-------| | 2024 | ~71% | Average year | | 2023 | ~69% | — | | 2022 | ~75% | Post-COVID generous marking | | 2019 | ~64% | — |

BISE Faisalabad generally has slightly higher pass rates than BISE Lahore historically, which is partly why students consider it a more "lenient" board.

BISE Multan Pass Rate History

| Year | Pass Rate | |------|-----------| | 2024 | ~67% | | 2023 | ~65% | | 2022 | ~73% |

BISE Sargodha Pass Rate History

| Year | Pass Rate | |------|-----------| | 2024 | ~63% | | 2023 | ~61% | | 2022 | ~70% |

BISE Karachi Pass Rate History

| Year | Pass Rate | |------|-----------| | 2024 | ~59% | | 2023 | ~57% | | 2022 | ~68% |

BISE Karachi (BSEK) consistently shows lower pass rates compared to Punjab boards. This reflects the different curriculum (Sindh vs Punjab Board), different marking patterns, and the diverse socioeconomic backgrounds of students in Karachi.

What Do These Statistics Mean for You?

Understanding Pass Rate

If a board has a 65% pass rate, it means 35% of students who appeared either failed or received a supply result. This is a significant number. Use this as motivation to:

• Study consistently throughout the year
• Never rely solely on guess papers
• Practice all subjects, not just your "strong" ones

Understanding A1 Percentage

If 12% of students get A1 grade, and you are one of 380,000 students at BISE Lahore, that means approximately 45,600 students got A1 in the same year. Competition for top college admissions is fierce.

To stand out:

• Aim for 80%+ aggregate (minimum for A1)
• 85%+ puts you in the top merit for most good colleges
• 90%+ is exceptional and will qualify you for the best colleges

Subject-wise Pass Rate Analysis

Across all Punjab boards, certain subjects have consistently lower pass rates:

| Subject | Approximate Pass Rate | |---------|----------------------| | Mathematics | 55–65% | | Physics | 65–75% | | Chemistry | 68–78% | | English | 70–80% | | Biology | 72–80% | | Urdu | 80–88% | | Islamiyat | 85–92% | | Pakistan Studies | 82–90% |

Mathematics has the lowest pass rate of any subject, making it the biggest single cause of matric failure in Pakistan. Students who struggle with Mathematics should seek additional tutoring early.

Gender-wise Statistics

In recent years:

• Female pass rates have been slightly higher than male pass rates in Punjab
• Female A1 rates are also slightly higher in most Punjab boards
• This trend has been consistent from 2018 onwards

This reflects the increasing academic performance and enrollment of female students in Punjab's educational system.

Urban vs Rural School Performance

Students from urban schools (in the main cities within a board's jurisdiction) tend to:

• Have higher A1 percentage
• Have higher average marks

Students from rural areas tend to:

• Have lower resource availability (labs, computers, qualified teachers)
• Sometimes have lower marks but comparable determination

Position holders, however, come from both urban and rural schools every year.

What the 2026 Statistics Are Expected to Show

Based on trends and assuming a normal examination year (no COVID-related disruptions):

• Overall Pakistan matric pass rate: Expected 65–70%
• A1 grade percentage: Expected 10–14%
• Science group A1 rate: Slightly higher than Arts group A1 rate
• Total students: ~2.5 million across all BISE boards

How to Compare Your Result Against Board Averages

After your result:

1. Calculate your percentage: Marks obtained ÷ Total marks × 100
2. Compare with board average: If the board pass rate is 68% and you are in the top 25%, you are performing above average
3. Calculate where you rank for A1: If A1 percentage is 12%, scoring 80%+ places you in the top 12%

Use our matric percentage calculator to calculate your exact grade and compare it against typical board averages.

Conclusion

The matric result 2026 statistics reveal that while pass rates vary by board, consistent study and focus on challenging subjects (especially Mathematics) is what separates passing students from top performers.
