The Punjab Boards Committee of Chairpersons (PBCC) has released the official results of the 12th class (HSSC Part II) First Annual Examinations 2025. The data shows significant variation in performance among the nine educational boards of Punjab.
Top Performing Boards
- Dera Ghazi Khan: 74.86%
- Faisalabad: 73.71%
DG Khan and Faisalabad emerged as the strongest performers, with nearly three out of every four students successfully passing. These boards maintained their position among the top performers in recent years as well.
Mid-Range Performance
- Sargodha: 66.40%
- Multan: 64.25%
- Bahawalpur: 63.93%
- Gujranwala: 63.10%
Boards in this category showed stable but moderate performance. Multan and Sargodha stood in the middle range, with pass percentages in the mid-60s, while Bahawalpur and Gujranwala followed closely.
Low-Performing Boards
- Lahore: 60.86%
- Sahiwal: 58.92%
- Rawalpindi: 54.12%
Lahore, despite being one of the largest educational boards in Punjab, recorded a pass rate of just over 60%. Sahiwal slipped below that mark, while Rawalpindi showed the weakest performance, with less than 55% of students clearing the exam.
Overall Trends
- The province-wide gap between the best and worst performing boards is more than 20 percentage points, showing uneven educational outcomes across regions.
- Urban boards like Lahore and Rawalpindi did not perform as strongly as expected, raising questions about institutional performance despite better resources.
- Smaller boards such as DG Khan continued to outperform larger divisions, highlighting possible differences in student preparation, exam trends, or teaching practices.

the board papers should be checked by the other board to maintain transparency۔The inviligation should be from other board or CCTV are used to check the exams centers۔ the lahore board is the strictest board all over the Pakistan
Because Rawalpindi board just checks the cramming ability of students
There are Possibilities that Higher performance Boards must have some malpractices involved. It’s obvious that boards like DG Khan etc have poor vigilance during exams. You can easily compare the quality of students of lower and higher performing boards ,it would emerge reverse in terms of quality
I am from dgkhan and there are too much loopholes and cheating from the start of exam to even the end of paper checking but it is not always right except for some regions but such level of loopholes are also present in lahore as some centres are as an whole involved in wrong practices but the major reality is like lahore the number of students belonging to poor background in dgkhan is massive so if they are given an chance to study than they exert their full efforts to secure good marks but the fact remains true that in whole Pakistan including dgkhan we require more transparency in paper and the whole system should me restructured
