Karachi Board 9th Class Result 2026 Announced — BSEK Science Group, Check by Roll Number & Statistics

The announcement: BSEK Class 9 Science Group, 28 October 2026

This announcement is for one group only: the Class 9 Science Group (Regular) of the SSC Part-I First Annual Examinations 2026, under the Board of Secondary Education Karachi. It is not the General Group result, which was announced separately in September, and it is not an intermediate result. That distinction matters in Karachi, because two different boards handle the two levels: BSEK handles secondary (matric) examinations, while the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) handles intermediate examinations. Our guide to the difference between BSEK and BIEK explains which board handles what, so you do not end up searching the wrong board's website.

The announcement was reported on 28 October 2026 by ProPakistani, HUM English, Pakistan Observer and Education in Karachi, all citing the board's press release issued on 28 October 2026 and the figures shared by Controller of Examinations Ahmed Khan Chhutto. The result went live on the board website at 5:30 PM, so students checking earlier in the day would not have found it. If you tried before that time and saw nothing, that was a timing issue, not a problem with your roll number. The online result is the board's published result for this group; keep your admit card and roll number slip ready, because every checking method is built around that number.

Students should also be careful about a second confusion: Karachi's Class 11 (intermediate) results were announced by BIEK on 26 October 2026, just two days earlier. That is a different board, a different class and a different result. If you are in Class 9, this post — the BSEK Science Group result of 28 October — is the one that applies to you.

How to check your BSEK 9th class Science result online

The confirmed checking method for this result is the board's official website. On announcement evening the site receives very heavy traffic, so if a page does not load on the first try, wait a few minutes and try again rather than submitting the same search repeatedly. Use only the official website for your result: unofficial pages may copy old results, show the wrong group, or ask for personal details the board does not need.

Before you begin, confirm you are looking at the right examination: SSC Part-I (Class IX) Annual 2026, Science Group. Selecting the General Group, or a Class 10 result, will simply return no record for a Science Group candidate, even though your result has been announced. Double-check the group name on your admit card before searching.

• Step 1: Open the official BSEK website at www.bsek.edu.pk and go to the results section.
• Step 2: Select SSC Part-I (Class IX) Annual 2026 — Science Group.
• Step 3: Enter your roll number exactly as printed on your admit card.
• Step 4: Submit the search and wait for your detailed result to appear.
• Step 5: Check your name, roll number and subject-wise result, then save a screenshot or print the page for your records.

Reading your result: passed all papers, some papers, or not yet

The headline pass percentage counts only candidates who passed all papers. That is why the board also published a breakdown by how many papers each candidate passed. A student who passed six papers, for example, is listed in that category — not in the 'passed all papers' total, and not simply as a failure. Understanding that breakdown is essential, because it tells you exactly how much work remains: only the papers you did not pass need to be cleared in the next examination, under the board's rules.

The reported breakdown, shared by the Controller of Examinations, is: 21,999 candidates passed six papers only, 11,006 passed five papers only, 7,431 passed four papers only, 4,409 passed three papers only, 3,101 passed two papers only, and 2,439 passed one paper only. Candidates who passed only some papers will need to clear the remaining papers in the next examination as per board rules. Do not treat a partial pass as a complete pass, and do not treat it as starting again from zero either — your passed papers stand, and your effort should focus on the remaining ones.

If your result shows a paper as not passed, check the marks in that paper carefully. Under the new grading system described below, a paper below 40 per cent is not counted as passed. If you believe there is an error in your name, roll number or marks, report it to your school and the board promptly, and keep a saved copy of your online result. For general guidance on how an online result differs from a gazette record, see our guide on the difference between a gazette and an online result.

Key statistics: 69.56% passed all papers

According to the board's press release of 28 October 2026, a total of 180,054 students registered for the Class 9 Science Group First Annual Examinations 2026, of whom 177,923 appeared and 2,131 remained absent. Of those who appeared, 123,757 candidates passed all subjects, giving the overall pass percentage of 69.56 per cent. The board reported that 53,849 candidates failed, as reported in the announcement coverage. These are the figures that were consistently reported across the announcement reports, and this post uses no other totals for this result.

The 69.56 per cent figure is lower than the previous year's Class IX Science Group pass rate. HUM English reported that in 2025, 137,350 of the 175,511 candidates who appeared passed all their papers, a pass rate of 78.26 per cent. The drop does not change any individual student's result, but it does put this year's result in context: a larger share of candidates this year will be clearing remaining papers in the next examination, and schools and students should plan revision for those papers now rather than waiting for a later announcement.

No position-holder list for this result was reported in the announcement coverage used for this post, so none is named here. If BSEK publishes a position list separately, it will be on the board's own website, and this post does not guess at any names or marks.

The new grading rule: passing marks raised to 40%

This is the first year of a new grading system for Class 9, applied from the First Annual Examinations 2026 following a decision of the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) and the Sindh government's Universities and Boards Department. Under the new scheme, BSEK has raised the passing marks from 33 per cent to 40 per cent for Class 9 from 2026 (and for Class 10 from 2027). In practical terms, a paper with less than 40 per cent marks is not counted as passed, even if the candidate's overall total looks comfortable.

That change explains why some students who expected to pass on the old 33 per cent threshold may find a paper marked as not passed this year. It is not a marking error: it is the new threshold. The same 40 per cent rule was applied in Karachi's intermediate results this year, where a paper below 40 per cent is declared 'Ungraded'. Our guide to the new grading system and the 40 per cent rule explains how that rule works at intermediate level; for Class 9, the key point is the same — every paper must individually reach 40 per cent to count as passed.

For revision, that means subject-by-subject preparation, not just total-marks preparation. A student who passed five papers and missed one by a small margin should focus revision on that one paper's syllabus, past papers and weak topics, rather than re-studying everything. The books catalogue and solved notes library can help with that focused revision once you know which papers remain.

What to do next: reappearing, scrutiny and Class 10

First, verify your details. Compare your name, roll number and subject-wise result against your admit card, and report any mismatch to your school and the board promptly — corrections become harder once the official record is finalised. Keep a saved copy of your online result, but remember it is provisional until the board's official record is issued through your school.

If you passed all papers, your next step is Class 10. Start with the subjects you found hardest in Class 9, because Class 10 builds directly on them, and keep your Class 9 notes for revision. If you passed some papers only, make a short list of the remaining papers and start preparing for them now, under the board's next-examination rules — do not wait for a reminder. If you believe a paper was not marked correctly, BSEK's scrutiny and rechecking route is separate from simply checking the result. Apply only through BSEK's official scrutiny notice for this examination, and confirm the fee and deadline in that notice before applying — this post does not state a fee or deadline because none was verified for this announcement. Our guide to scrutiny and rechecking in Sindh explains how the process works in general, but the board's own notice for SSC Part-I 2026 is the authority for your application.

Finally, do not rely on any SMS code, gazette page count or supplementary date for this result unless BSEK itself publishes it. No SMS code was verified in the announcement reports for this result, so this post does not give one. The confirmed route is the official website, www.bsek.edu.pk, from 5:30 PM on 28 October 2026. Our after-result guide for BSEK Class 9 students covers the next steps in more detail once you have your result in hand.
