Peshawar board announces intermediate results as pass rate falls

PESHAWAR: The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar announced results for intermediate Part I and Part II on Sunday, and media reports indicated a decline in the pass rate. Dunya News reported that nearly half of the candidates who appeared in Part II failed. Dawn reported that the pass percentage had dropped compared with the previous year, though no figure was available in the summary reviewed by Skardu Times. The Nation carried a report that BISE Peshawar had released results for both Part I and Part II. A second Dunya News report described the performance as disappointing and said it raised concerns.

The summaries viewed by Skardu Times did not include detailed pass rates for each part, subject-wise results, or the total number of candidates. BISE Peshawar is one of the largest examination boards in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and intermediate results determine university admissions for thousands of students. A fall in the pass percentage would affect a large number of students across the province. It was not immediately clear from the available material how students should check their results, though board examination results are typically published on the official website and via SMS.

No official statement from the board explaining the decline was included in the items reviewed. Skardu Times will update this report when detailed statistics are available.
