BISE Rawalpindi 11th Class Result 2026 — Division Analytics & Statistical Scorecard

Declaration Snapshot & Result Metadata

The HSSC Part-I 2026 result was declared by the Controller of Examinations on 22 October 2026. The table below records the official session parameters for the division.

Performance Visualisations & Core Analytics

Four comparative views of the 2026 first-year cohort: how the six districts moved against 2025, how each academic group performed, where the passing candidates sit on the merit curve, and how institutional sponsorship divides the result.

District Performance Leaderboard (6 Administrative Districts)

Rawalpindi Division spans six districts with markedly different institutional ecologies — the metropolitan Rawalpindi district alone accounts for 45.3% of the entire appeared cohort. Districts are ranked below by aggregate pass percentage, with the regular-institute and private-candidate columns exposed separately so that the two preparation routes can be compared directly.

Key Geographical Findings

• Talagang takes the division crown. The newly constituted district recorded 65.29% (2,126 of 3,256), the strongest aggregate in the division and a +17.29 point improvement on 2025. Its regular institutes cleared 66.50%, the highest regular-cohort figure anywhere in the division.
• Chakwal holds second place. 59.55% overall (4,855 of 8,153), driven by the Kallar Kahar science-college cluster and Royal College of Sciences, and it posted a +11.55 point gain.
• Attock's private candidates lead the division. Attock finished third overall at 59.24%, but its external/private cohort cleared 52.31% — more than five points clear of the next best private cohort (Talagang at 47.03%) and the clearest evidence of how strongly the Attock belt prepares independent candidates.
• Rawalpindi's urban paradox persists. Despite housing the largest concentration of colleges in northern Punjab, the metropolitan district ranked fifth at 50.11% across 25,310 candidates. Its private/external cohort managed only 36.10%, the weakest private result in the division.
• Murree improved most in relative terms but remains last. The hill district climbed +18.64 points to 49.84%, yet still sits more than thirteen points below Talagang — winter closures and persistent staffing gaps continue to cap achievement.

Academic Group Performance & Gender Dynamics

First-year candidates at BISE Rawalpindi are distributed across five academic groups. Science General (ICS) is by far the largest cohort at 22,453 candidates — 40.21% of the entire division — while Pre-Engineering has shrunk to just 2,043 candidates. Pre-Medical posted the strongest success rate in 2026 at 66.33%.

What the Group-Level Numbers Reveal

• Pre-Medical is the quality benchmark. 66.33% of 8,728 candidates qualified, a +13.82 point gain on 2025. Female candidates cleared 70.28% against 49.36% for male candidates — a 20.92 point gap that mirrors MDCAT preparation economics.
• Pre-Engineering stabilised. 65.25% pass on the smallest cohort in the division (2,043 candidates), and its +9.47 point gain was the second-smallest of the five groups — consistent with the continued migration of mathematics-strong students into computing programmes.
• Science General absorbs the mass. With 22,453 candidates (40.2% of the division), ICS outcomes drive the board's headline number. Its 51.84% pass rate lifted by +7.21 points, but male candidates still finished at only 39.65% against 60.86% for female candidates.
• Humanities carries the widest gender divide. 20,356 candidates (36.5% of the division) recorded 50.96% overall, yet the 30.14 point spread between female (58.61%) and male (28.47%) candidates is the largest of any group and the single most acute equity problem in the division.
• Commerce crossed the 50% line. The I.Com cohort of 2,254 improved +10.00 points to 50.84%, moving the group above half for the first time in the two cycles covered by this dataset.

Institutional Sector Performance: Government vs Affiliated vs External

Candidates are separated by institutional sponsorship, and the 2026 data shows the affiliated (private) college sector consolidating its lead at 61.07%, while government institutes improved strongly but still trail by more than thirteen points, and independently registered external candidates remain the weakest preparation route.

Sector-Level Diagnostics

• Affiliated colleges lead on every gender. Female candidates in affiliated institutes cleared 70.58% (11,854 of 16,794), the highest cell in the entire board, while their male counterparts cleared 47.36%. The sector gained +8.40 points overall.
• Government institutes posted the steepest recovery. Public-sector candidates rose from a combined 34.97% in 2025 to 47.87% in 2026 (+12.90 points). Male government candidates moved from 17.94% to 24.30% — a +6.36 point lift, yet still the lowest gender-sector cell in the board.
• External candidates remain the weakest route. Independently registered candidates cleared 42.11% overall, though female external candidates (53.00%) improved by a remarkable +18.98 points on 2025 — the biggest jump of any gender-sector cell.
• The male public-college problem is narrowing, not solved. At 24.30%, government boys still sit 31.13 points behind government girls (55.43%) in the same institutions.

Merit Band Distribution of Qualifying Candidates

HSSC Part-I does not award final letter grades — those are struck only on the composite HSSC-II certificate — so the merit curve below converts each candidate's total into an aggregate percentage band. Because only qualifying candidates carry a total, the curve describes the 30,280 successful candidates rather than the full cohort.

The distribution is heavily right-skewed: 5,983 candidates (19.76% of qualifiers) finished at or above 80%, and 1,238 (4.09%) crossed 90%. Only 849 candidates qualified with an aggregate below 50%, which reflects the board's per-paper 33% threshold: a candidate who clears every paper almost inevitably lands in the upper half of the curve.

Subject Difficulty Audit (37 Papers)

The table below covers all 37 subject papers offered in HSSC Part-I 2026, ordered from highest to lowest success rate, so that the board's bottlenecks can be read directly rather than inferred.

Subject-Level Findings

• English is the largest single failure pool. With 56,048 appearances and 11,073 failures at an 80.24% pass rate, the compulsory English paper produces more failures than any other single paper — and more than Physics (8,425) and Mathematics (7,742) each individually, though the two quantitative papers together account for 16,167 failed attempts.
• Mathematics and Physics define the science bottleneck. Mathematics passed 68.50% of 24,577 appearances and Physics 71.24% of 29,295. Together they account for 16,167 failed papers — the quantitative core of the first-year failure problem.
• Statistics is the hardest paper in the division at 57.35% (1,134 failures from 2,659 appearances), followed by commercial geography at 60.42% and History at 63.97%.
• Religious and language papers carry the pass rate. Islamic Education (98.43% across 55,489 appearances), Tarjama-tul-Quran (97.20%) and Urdu (95.64%) are the papers that keep borderline candidates alive each year.
• Computer Science is scoring, not straining. The combined Computer Science & Entrepreneurship paper drew 29,753 appearances at 82.41% — a higher pass rate than Chemistry (73.48%), Physics (71.24%) or English (80.24%), and the clearest sign of where the ICS expansion is paying off.

Institutional Landscape: Scale vs Quality

The 2026 examination covered 695 distinct institutions plus a separate external-candidate cohort; 488 of them fielded 20 or more candidates. Because cohort sizes vary from a handful of candidates to more than a thousand, raw pass percentage alone flatters tiny institutions. The performance index below therefore applies a Wilson 95% lower-bound adjustment, which discounts pass rates achieved on small samples and rewards institutions that sustain high success across large cohorts.

Largest Examination Cohorts

Highest Performance Index (minimum 100 candidates)

Institutional Findings

• Scale and quality separate cleanly at the top. The largest cohort in the division is Govt. Associate College For Women, Jhelum with 1,044 candidates at 65.90%, while the strongest adjusted performance belongs to Al-Amir Foundation Degree College For Women, Doultala Teh G.Khan (Rwp) (102 of 111 passed, 91.89%).
• Girls' institutions dominate the quality tier. All twelve institutions at the top of the performance index are female campuses, and eleven of the twelve are private or affiliated colleges. The division's three 100% pass-rate institutions (Girls Cadet College Jajja, Po Sukho Teh. Gujar Khan (Rwp), Govt. Girls Higher Secondary School Samote (Rawalpindi), Fouji Foundation Girls Higher Sec School Pindi Gheb (Attock)) are also all girls' institutions, fielding 20–33 candidates each.
• Large public colleges remain the fragile tier. Several of the division's oldest government colleges sit below 25% — most visibly Gordon College Rawalpindi, where only 96 of 484 candidates qualified (19.83%), an outcome that mirrors the wider male public-college problem documented above.
• Private systems concentrate merit. Punjab College for Women Satellite Town alone supplied 13 of the top 100 candidates at a 80.06% pass rate, while Punjab College Talagang and the Royal College of Sciences Chakwal cluster supplied 11 and 6 respectively.

Longitudinal Assessment: 2025 vs 2026

The 2026 declaration reverses the 2025 slide decisively. While the appeared cohort shrank by 6,186 candidates (-9.97%), the number of qualifiers rose by 3,329 (12.35%), lifting the board pass rate by +10.77 points.

Rechecking, Compartment Rules & the Pathway to HSSC-II

Because HSSC Part-I is a promotional examination rather than a terminal certificate, the 2026 outcome does not end a candidate's intermediate career. Four rules matter most for the 25,554 candidates who did not qualify:

• Automatic promotion to Class 12th. A candidate who fails up to two Part-I papers is promoted to second year and re-sits those papers alongside the HSSC-II annual examination of 2027. Failure in three or more papers requires re-admission as a regular first-year candidate.
• Rechecking window: 15 days. Applications must be filed through the board's e-services portal within fifteen days of the 22 October 2026 declaration. Rechecking verifies unmarked questions, totalling errors and award-list entry; it is not a re-assessment of answer quality.
• Second annual examination. The PBCC-scheduled supplementary session follows roughly six to eight weeks after the first annual declaration and is open to compartment candidates and marks-improvement applicants in a maximum of two papers.
• Percentile grading, not letter grades. Subject-level percentile is computed as marks obtained divided by the maximum marks awarded in that subject — which is why two candidates with the same raw marks can hold different subject grades.
