The gazette is BSEK’s official complete record of every student’s result for the 9th class examination. While most students will check their result by roll number on result day itself, the gazette becomes useful for students who have lost their roll number slip, for schools verifying results across many students at once, and for anyone wanting an offline copy of the official record.
BSEK Karachi publishes two separate gazette documents each year, one for the Science Group and one for the General Group, reflecting the different subject combinations studied by each stream.
When the Gazette Becomes Available
Based on the pattern from 2025, the gazette is typically uploaded between one and three hours after the main result announcement. In 2025, when the science group result was declared on 22 October at around 3:30 in the afternoon, the gazette followed by approximately four in the afternoon the same day.
For 2026, if the result is declared close to the official 31 August target, expect the gazette to follow the same same day timing. If the announcement extends later in the year as it has in past cycles, the gazette will still follow within hours of whatever the eventual announcement date turns out to be.
How to Download and Search the Gazette
Visit bsek.edu.pk once the result has been officially announced. Look for the Results section in the main menu and select SSC Part 1 Result Gazette for the current year. You will see separate links for the Science Group and General Group gazettes. Download the PDF relevant to your group.
Once downloaded, open the file and use the search function within your PDF reader, which on most phones and computers can be triggered by pressing control and F together, or by tapping the search icon if you are using a mobile browser. Type your full name as it was registered with the board. If multiple results appear for the same name, check the school name listed alongside each entry to confirm which one belongs to you.
Given the scale of BSEK’s student population, with well over 175,000 candidates in the science group alone, the gazette file size can be considerably large. Make sure you have a stable connection and sufficient storage space before attempting to download it on a mobile device.
What the Gazette Contains
Beyond individual student marks, the gazette includes useful statistical information such as the total number of students registered, the number who actually appeared, the overall pass percentage, and details on students who passed with distinction. This makes it a valuable document not just for individual result checking but for understanding the bigger picture of how the entire board performed that year.
Schools also rely heavily on the gazette for institutional record keeping, since it provides a school wise summary that is far easier to reference for teachers and administrators than checking each student individually online.
Why Download a Copy Even After Checking Online
Many students check their result once online and move on, but keeping a personal copy of the relevant gazette page can be genuinely useful later. If there is ever a dispute about marks, a need for verification during college admission, or simply a desire to keep records, having the gazette saved offline means you are not dependent on the board’s website being accessible months or years down the line.
