The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) released the 2026 annual examination results for first-year intermediate students. A new grading system was introduced for these examinations, requiring candidates to secure a minimum of 40% marks in each paper to pass.
Students who fail to reach the 40% threshold in any single paper are now designated as ungraded. BIEK utilised Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and electronic marking systems to conduct electronic assessments for all optional subjects in the science groups.
Out of 25,157 candidates who registered for the pre-medical group, 24,544 appeared for the exams, with 11,966 passing all six papers. The general science group saw 30,386 candidates sit for the exams from a pool of 30,991 registrants, resulting in 15,036 successful completions of all six papers.
For regular commerce, 22,693 candidates appeared from 23,549 registrations, and 9,332 cleared all seven papers. Private commerce results showed 628 candidates passed all seven papers out of 1,413 who appeared from 1,485 registrations.
