FBISE 9th Class Position Holders 2026 (SSC Part-I Merit List)

The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education declared the SSC Part-I position holders 2026 on 29 July, a day most students only knew as their regular result day. Ali Murtaza of PAEC Model College for Boys, Chashma, District Mianwali, topped the list with 1,092 marks. Six students in total made the top three positions this year, and none of them are from Islamabad’s federal government schools, a detail worth sitting with for a second.

I’m Dayan Imran, a BS Computer Science student in my 7th semester. I check board result pages every year the way some people check cricket scores, partly out of habit and partly because I still remember refreshing the FBISE site for my own SSC result. This page covers what the position holders list actually says, not what a template says it should say.

When Did FBISE Announce the 9th Class Position Holders 2026

The official ceremony happened on 29 July 2026 at 11:15 AM in Islamabad, with Federal Minister for Education Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui as chief guest and FBISE Chairman Prof Dr Ikram Ali Malik presenting the exam summary. But the merit list itself had already surfaced in a few outlets the evening before, on 28 July, ahead of the formal press button being pressed. That gap between a leaked list and the ceremony is normal for FBISE. It happens most years, and it’s usually the position holders list that leaks first because the board finalizes it before the full gazette.

SSC Part-I (9th class) and SSC Part-II (10th class) results were declared together at the same event. This is a Federal Board habit that Punjab boards don’t follow, where 9th and 10th class results are usually months apart.

FBISE SSC Part-I 2026 Position Holders: Full List

Five of the six names on this list are girls. That’s not a coincidence unique to this year either. FBISE’s own statement around the same result cycle noted that female candidates took a majority of top spots across the SSC-I and SSC-II results combined, so the pattern holds beyond just class 9.

The Geography Nobody Talks About

Look at the institutions again. Four of the six position holders come out of Rawalpindi or Wah Cantonment schools. Only one, Ali Murtaza, comes from a district outside the cantonment belt, and even his college (PAEC Model College) is run by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, not a regular public school.

This isn’t random. FBISE’s jurisdiction is fundamentally different from a provincial board’s. It doesn’t cover a province full of ordinary government schools. It covers Islamabad Capital Territory, cantonment and garrison schools scattered across the country, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, and Pakistani schools abroad in places like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Cantonment schools and colleges (the “Cantt” ones in the table above) tend to have smaller, more resourced classrooms, which is a big part of why they keep producing position holders year after year while ordinary Islamabad sector schools rarely show up at the very top.

New Passing Criteria for 2026

FBISE introduced a revised grading policy starting with the 2026 annual exams. Students now need a minimum of 40% marks in each individual subject to pass, not just an overall aggregate. This is stricter than what Punjab boards use for the same class this year, where the passing threshold sits at 33% per subject. If you’re comparing your own FBISE result to a friend’s Punjab board result, that difference in passing criteria is the reason the numbers don’t feel equivalent.

How Big Was This Year’s Exam

The scale behind these six names is worth knowing. FBISE ran the SSC Part-I and Part-II annual examinations together across 1,006 exam centres, with 2,012 supervisory staff and 6,996 invigilators on duty. Around 10,706 teachers applied to mark papers, and the board engaged 4,855 examiners to check scripts. A combined 292,831 candidates sat for SSC-I and SSC-II this year. Six position holders came out of that number, which puts the achievement in some perspective.

How to Check Your Own FBISE 9th Class Result 2026

What is the FBISE 9th class result gazette? It’s the board’s official PDF record of every SSC Part-I candidate’s roll number, name, subject-wise marks, and result status, usually uploaded within an hour of the announcement.

You can check your own result through any of these methods:

• Visit www.fbise.edu.pk, open the SSC Part-I Result 2026 section, and enter your roll number
• Send an SMS in the format FB (space) Roll Number to 5050
• Download the result gazette PDF and search your roll number or name using Ctrl+F
• Check your school or college noticeboard, since institutions usually display their own students’ results the same day

A Quick Look Back at 2025

FBISE announced last year’s 9th class result in mid-July 2025, roughly two weeks earlier in the calendar than this year’s late-July announcement. The core process hasn’t changed. Position holders get named a day or so ahead of the full ceremony, the board still runs SSC-I and SSC-II together, and cantonment-based colleges still dominate the top positions most years. What changed for 2026 is the passing criteria, and that’s the detail students comparing years should actually pay attention to, not just the marks themselves.
