This year, girls took the lead over boys at
Aga Khan University Examination Board in Higher Secondary School
Certificate (Intermediate) results, too. Followed by the SSC (Matric)
results, girls not only remained at the top overall but also secured the
first two HSSC positions as announced on Thursday.
Maleeka Mehmood of Habib Girls School
obtained the first position with 89.09 per cent marks. She was followed
by Komal Zehra Zaidi of Aga Khan Higher Secondary School who stood
second with 88.45 per cent marks while Muhammad Sameer Kayani of ETN
High School secured the third position with 87.72 per cent marks?
The overall passing rate in HSSC Part-I was
76.6 per cent with 22.5 per cent candidates scoring an A-Grade or above
and in HSSC-Part II it was 84.6 per cent with 29.5 per cent candidates
obtaining an A-Grade or above.
“We are very happy with the overall
performance of our candidates in the annual examinations,” said Karima
Kara, Associate Director, AKU-EB. “We also appreciate the teachers and
schools who prepared them well for these challenging examinations by
facilitating an active learning environment in their classrooms”.
She was thrilled to state that universities
both in Pakistan and abroad recognise the candidates coming from AKU-EB
as well-prepared; that they grasp new ideas with ease and are
particularly good at applying concepts. This reflects the value,
popularity and currency of our qualifications particularly in HSSC.
AKU-EB’s annual alumni survey has also
revealed a very high percentage of its alumni not only passing the
university entry tests but also securing scholarships to pursue their
studies at key higher education institutions. The Survey reflects that
87 per cent of the 2012 alumni interviewed have obtained admissions at
diverse universities across Pakistan and abroad.
The Survey further shows that alumni are now
studying in over 160 institutions across Pakistan and around 40
universities abroad. Complete survey results will be shared on AKU-EB’s
website soon.
Abdul Rafey is one of the many alumni who
have obtained admissions at renowned universities abroad. Anxiously
waiting for the start of his first semester of undergraduate studies at
the International University of Highlands and Islands in Scotland. He
said, “AKU-EB groomed my skills and enabled me to achieve my dream of
studying abroad”.
He further said, “Meeting the university’s
admission requirements, writing personal statements and taking the tests
became so easy and enjoyable with the training I received at AKU-EB. I
wish to give back to the Board one day after completing my studies.”
