How Positions Are Decided
Positions are awarded on total marks in the annual examination. Each board declares the top three positions separately for:
- Matric: Science, Computer Science, and Arts groups
- Intermediate: Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, ICS, Commerce, and Humanities groups
Positions are announced separately for boys and girls. In case of a tie, the board’s rules decide the ranking — details are in the board’s official notification.
Rewards for Position Holders
