Among the major groups, Pre-Medical recorded the highest pass rate at 77.68 percent, with 11,686 out of 15,043 candidates passing. The group-wise results are shown below:
| Group | Appeared | Passed | Pass % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Medical | 15,043 | 11,686 | 77.68% |
| Pre-Engineering | 1,985 | 1,456 | 73.35% |
| Commerce | 213 | 133 | 62.44% |
| General Science | 18,527 | 11,387 | 61.46% |
| Humanities | 24,824 | 11,642 | 46.90% |
Candidates from affiliated private institutions recorded a pass rate of 73.91 percent, with 19,320 out of 26,141 passing. Government institutions recorded a pass rate of 56.68 percent, with 12,530 of 22,108 candidates passing. District-wise, Rahim Yar Khan topped with 61.80 percent, followed by Bahawalpur at 59.50 percent and Bahawalnagar at 58.02 percent.
The large gap between regular and private candidates shows the importance of classroom teaching and regular preparation. Education experts say private candidates often study on their own without proper guidance, which makes it harder for them to clear subjects such as English, Mathematics and Physics. Overall, the result is similar to trends seen in other Punjab boards this year, where girls and Pre-Medical students led the tables.

Ukasha Tariq secured the overall first position with 1,158 marks out of 1,200. The second position was shared by Muhammad Saad Zia and Mishal Fatima, who both scored 1,157 marks. Monis Tariq took the third position with 1,155 marks.
