KARACHI: After scoring higher in SSC, this year, girls have taken a lead over boys at Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) 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 the results were announced on Monday.
Maleeka Mehmood of Habib Girls School obtained the first position with 93.33 percent marks. Komal Zehra Zaidi of Aga Khan Higher Secondary School stood second with 92.67 percent marks, while Muhammad Sameer Kayani of ETN High School secured the third position with 91.90 percent marks.
The overall passing rate in HSSC Part-I was 76.6 percent with 22.5 percent candidates scoring an A-Grade or above; however in HSSC-Part II, it was 84.6 percent with 29.5 percent candidates obtaining an A Grade or above.
Associate Director AKU-EB Karima Kara was very pleased with the overall results of all the students. “We are very happy with the overall performance of our candidates in the annual examinations,” she said. “We appreciate the teachers and schools who prepared them well for these challenging examinations by facilitating an active learning environment in their classrooms.”
Kara was excited to state that universities, both in Pakistan and abroad, are recognizing AKU-EB candidates as well-prepared students 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,” she added.
AKU-EB’s annual alumni survey has also revealed a very high percentage of its alumni not only passing entry tests of renowned institutions, but also securing scholarships to pursue their studies there. According to the survey, 87 percent of the 2012 alumni interviewed have obtained admissions at diverse universities across Pakistan and abroad.
The survey further showed that AKU alumni are 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 Rafay 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 that AKU-EB groomed his skills and enabled him to achieve the dreams of studying abroad.
