The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has announced the annual results for the Pre-Engineering First Year 2025 examinations, revealing a relatively low success rate among the candidates. According to official data shared by the examination department, thousands of students appeared in the crucial exams, but less than half were able to clear all subjects successfully.
This year, a total of 19,433 students registered for the Pre-Engineering stream, of which 19,023 candidates eventually sat for the annual examinations. Out of these, only 8,569 were declared successful after passing all six papers.
The overall pass percentage stood at 45%, highlighting the difficulties faced by students in meeting the academic requirements of the Pre-Engineering program.
Examination Supervisor Zarina Rashid, while announcing the results, confirmed that despite the large number of participants, the overall performance reflected the need for stronger preparation and academic support for students pursuing science and engineering-related fields.
The Pre-Engineering stream, one of the most popular choices among students in Karachi, is considered a gateway for those aiming to pursue careers in engineering, technology, and applied sciences.
However, the relatively low pass rate suggests that a significant number of students may struggle to meet the high academic standards necessary for advancement. Educationists believe that this trend points toward broader challenges in the education system, including gaps in teaching methods, exam preparation, and access to learning resources.
For the convenience of students, BIEK has made the results available online. Candidates can check their marks and overall performance by visiting the official website: https://www.biek.edu.pk/results.asp.
The release of these results serves as both an achievement for the successful candidates and a call for reflection on the broader academic challenges faced by students. With nearly half of the candidates unable to clear the exams, the outcome underscores the need for reforms and better support structures to improve future pass rates in one of Karachi’s most demanding academic streams.
