Students of Cambridge International Education’s (CIE) AS and A Level across Pakistan on Tuesday began receiving their results for the June 2026 exam series.
The CIE, part of Cambridge University Press and Assessment, offers internationally recognised exams to schools in 160-plus countries. In Pakistan, O Levels (grades 9–10) cover a broad subject range, while A and AS Levels (grades 11–12) are more specialised and advanced, providing pathways to higher education in Pakistan and abroad.
Over 100,000 students from over 850 schools across Pakistan sat for the June 2026 exam series for Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge O Level and IGCSE this year, noted a CIE press release issued on Tuesday.
The most popular subjects in the country were Physics, Mathematics, Business, Chemistry and Computer Science.
This year’s June series was marred by the leak of its AS/A Level Mathematics Paper 12 taken on April 29 , which the CIE subsequently cancelled and scheduled a re-take for June 9.
Uzma Yousuf, country director for International Education at Cambridge, congratulated the learners who were receiving their exam results.
“This has not been an ordinary year. Some students prepared for their examinations against a backdrop of regional tensions, uncertainty and disruption, which makes today’s achievement even more meaningful,” the press release quoted her as saying.
“I hope every learner takes a moment to celebrate what they’ve accomplished,” Yousuf said, thanking teachers, parents and school communities across Pakistan who supported students.
“At Cambridge, we believe education is about more than examination results. It’s about helping young people build the knowledge, confidence and skills to thrive at university, in their careers, and in life,” she added.
Yousuf said CIE looked forward to continuing innovation in assessments, such as its digital exams pilot this year and modular assessment options at A Level, for better inclusivity and flexibility for students.
Rod Smith, group managing director for International Education at Cambridge, also congratulated the students. He noted: “More students are turning to our AS & A Levels because they combine deep subject knowledge with the skills universities and employers value most.”
Smith observed that this year’s “continued growth shows just how clearly that combination resonates in a world being reshaped by AI”, expressing confidence that AS & A Levels will become increasingly important in the years ahead for this reason.
CIE exams are typically held twice a year, in June and November, with results released in August and January, respectively. This year, June series papers were held from April 23 to June 9.
