Intermediate Boards Result ‘17 take the Pakistani colleges by storm

The Intermediate results relieve the anxiety of students and surprise academic institutions.

 

You must be partly relieved now since you got your Intermediate results yesterday. If nothing else, at least now you know where you stand. Most of you sacrificed a lot each day to be ranked among the top students. You put up with epithets like nerd and introvert, distanced yourself from friends and boycotted social gatherings. Those amongst you, who are extra hard on themselves, even locked themselves in the study room as the exams approached.

Yesterday started out in the same manner for all of you. You were overpowered by a wave of anxiety. You passed the time before the revelation of result in a confused state, alternating between murmuring fervent prayers and debating if it is too late for prayers.

From there, each of you experienced a myriad of differing emotions. Some were unsatisfied with their outstanding result while others seemed content with even a mediocre one. The halls rang with a potpourri of sounds. Hushed sobs are overpowered by jubilant voices.

Any result day is monumental for students since it sets the pace for their ensuing career. After their matriculation results, students start their college journey with a renewed vigour. Those who pass the Intermediate with flying colours secure their spot in Pakistan's top medical and engineering universities. Bright youngsters who honour their colleges by bagging the title of “toppers” speak in hindsight of relentless hard work, not of chance or of undeserved privileges.
