The results were announced by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Lahore for students enrolled in FA, FSc, ICS and I.Com programs. Students can check their individual results through the Lahore Board’s official website.
Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat attended the results ceremony as the chief guest. Examination Task Force Chairman Muzammil Mahmood, Lahore Board Chairman Badr Salam and Controller of Examinations Touseef ur Rehman were also present.
Speaking at the ceremony, Hayat said the elimination of cheating networks from board examinations had helped ensure greater transparency in the examination process.

The position holders also credited their colleges for playing an important role in their academic success.
The two top position holders were awarded laptops, while all other position holders received cash prizes of Rs100,000 each along with medals.
