The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) has announced the results of the Civil Judge written examination. Only three candidates qualified out of 1,024 who appeared for the test.
The examination covered 105 vacant posts of Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate and Alaqa Qazi. The posts were advertised by the Peshawar High Court in April 2026 for BPS-18 positions.
According to KPPSC, the commission received 3,097 applications for the advertised vacancies. All applicants were provisionally admitted to the syllabus-based written examination. However, only 1,024 candidates eventually appeared.
The results showed a significant difference in performance across various subjects. While some papers recorded relatively strong pass rates, others proved considerably more challenging for candidates.
Who Qualified for the KP Civil Judge Exam?
Only three candidates successfully cleared the written examination.
The successful candidates are Saba Rasool from South Waziristan, Abdullah Noor from Bajaur, and Sayed Zahid Hussain from Mardan.
KPPSC has directed all three successful candidates to submit the required duly signed documents within 15 days.
The commission has also provided an option for candidates who believe their marks require verification.
Candidates seeking re-totaling of their marks can submit an application to the commission for this purpose.
English Papers Prove Challenging
The English General and English Essay papers emerged as particularly difficult areas for candidates.
Of the 1,024 candidates who appeared for the English papers, only 149 passed. Meanwhile, 875 candidates failed, representing around 85% of those who appeared.
The results therefore showed a substantial gap between performance in the English papers and several other subjects.
Urdu Results Show Mixed Performance
Candidates recorded a comparatively stronger performance in Urdu General and Urdu Essay.
Out of 654 candidates who appeared in these papers, 369 passed. This resulted in a pass rate of around 57%.
The performance was considerably stronger in the Pashto General and Pashto Essay papers.
A total of 335 out of 340 candidates passed the Pashto papers. Consequently, the combined success rate stood at around 96%.
General Knowledge Records High Failure Rate
General Knowledge was another paper where a large number of candidates failed.
Out of 1,005 candidates who appeared for the paper, 687 were unsuccessful.
This represented a failure rate of around 68% among those who appeared for the General Knowledge examination.
How Did Candidates Perform in Civil Law?
The results showed comparatively stronger performance in the Civil Law papers.
In Civil Law-I, 587 out of 996 candidates passed the examination. This produced a success rate of about 59%.
Civil Law-II was cleared by 537 candidates out of the same 996 candidates who appeared.
The Criminal Law paper recorded an even higher pass rate.
A total of 803 out of 996 candidates passed Criminal Law. This represented a success rate of around 81%.
Strong Results in Islamic Jurisprudence and Qanun-e-Shahadat
Candidates also recorded relatively strong results in Islamic Jurisprudence.
A total of 697 out of 993 candidates passed the paper.
The Qanun-e-Shahadat 1984 and Pleadings paper produced another strong result.
According to the announced results, 775 out of 995 candidates successfully cleared the paper.
The subject-wise results therefore showed significant differences in candidate performance across the written examination.
What Happens After the KP Civil Judge Exam Results?
Following the announcement, KPPSC has instructed the three successful candidates to complete the required documentation.
They must submit the duly signed documents to the commission within 15 days.
Meanwhile, candidates who want their marks checked again can apply for re-totaling.
The written examination was held for 105 vacant BPS-18 positions of Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate and Alaqa Qazi.
However, only three of the 1,024 candidates who appeared managed to qualify for the next stage based on the announced written results.
