Only three positions went to government colleges of Islamabad while the rest were secured by private establishments or institutions of other cities.

In total 59,568 students sat in the exam held in the months of April-June 2018 and out of that number 46,112 students were declared to be successful. The overall pass percentage remained 77.41 percent. The pass percentage of regular candidates was higher than the ex/private candidates. About 47,837 regular students had appeared and out of them 39,449 were declared pass with 82.47 pass percentage. While some 11,731 private/ex-students had appeared and of them 6663 passed the exam with 56.80 pass percentage.



This year’s exams were rocked by the harassment allegations by some students of Bahria College Islamabad who had alleged that an invigilator sent by the board had harassed, groped, and coerced female students during the premedical practical.  However, the episode did not harm the academic record of the students and those who had mustered courage to speak up against the menace have passed the exam with good marks as the practical was canceled and taken again by the board. Though, the result was somewhat delayed due to the incident.
