At the ceremony, Dr Siddiqui congratulated the successful students. He said talented young Pakistanis had earned recognition around the world. He also said students need practical skills as well as formal education, and that the country’s young population can help meet national needs.
The minister also praised the FBISE chairman and his team for maintaining transparency and merit in how the exams were conducted, how inspections were carried out and how examiners and markers were chosen.
The board’s examinations cover students in Islamabad, federally administered institutions across Pakistan, and affiliated institutions abroad.
Students can check their results on the FBISE official website and result portal by entering their roll number or name. Students who don’t have internet access, or who can’t get through because the site is busy, can get their result by SMS. Type FB, a space, and the roll number, and send it to 5050.
Regular students will get their result cards through their institutions. Private candidates will receive theirs by post or by SMS.
Students who failed or were absent can sit the HSSC 2nd Annual Examination 2026. Candidates who want to improve their grades can also retake selected papers in that session.
For many HSSC-II students, the next step is university admission. The University of the Punjab has opened phase two of undergraduate admissions for remaining seats. Pre-medical students should also note the MDCAT schedule for September 20. The FBISE results come shortly after the BISE Lahore 9th class result, where the pass rate fell to 46.51 percent.
The board has asked students to use its official channels for information about results and the next stages of their studies.
