When you examine the 2025 HSSC First Annual Examination results released by BISE Sargodha, a clear pattern stands out: female candidates outperformed male candidates across every academic stream, both among regular and private students.
The overall pass-rate gap is significant — girls recorded a pass percentage more than 18 percentage points higher than boys. This margin is large enough that you can treat the gender differential as a defining feature of this year’s results in the Sargodha Board.
Among regular candidates, girls led in humanities, pre-medical, pre-engineering, general science and commerce. The widest margins appeared in humanities and commerce, where female students dominated results and lifted the overall performance profile for their groups.
Private candidates showed the same pattern: female students outperformed males across nearly all subjects. You will find particularly strong female performance in science streams, with pre-medical and general science reinforcing girls’ academic edge in the private cohort as well as the regular one.
The gender gap in academic performance is broad-based rather than isolated to a single discipline. For you as a student, parent, or educator, that means targeted actions are needed — focused support for male students in underperforming groups, and continued encouragement and opportunity for female students to sustain and translate academic success into higher education and careers.
Use these results to inform your choices: review subject-level weaknesses in your school or cohort, prioritize remedial support where boys lag most (notably humanities and commerce), and strengthen mentoring and career guidance so your students convert these exam outcomes into long-term progress.
Comparing Pass Rates Across Streams
Across BISE Sargodha, girls outperformed boys in every stream—both regular and private—producing an overall lead of more than 18 percentage points; you can review stream-specific patterns in the table below.Pass Rate Comparison by Stream
| Stream | Key Finding |
|---|---|
| Overall | Girls lead by 18+ percentage points |
| Humanities | Widest gap (regular & private) |
| Commerce | Large gap favoring girls |
| Pre-Medical | Strong female advantage |
| Pre-Engineering | Girls ahead, smaller gap |
| General Science | Notable female strength |
Statistical Insights on Gender Performance Gaps
The statistics show a consistent female advantage across nearly all groups; with an overall gap exceeding 18 percentage points, humanities and commerce display the widest disparities while pre-medical and general science reinforce the girls’ lead—information you can use to target analyses and policy responses.
Digging deeper, you’ll find the gap isn’t limited to top performers: pass-rate improvements for girls appear across score bands and in both regular and private cohorts, indicating systemic factors—such as study patterns, classroom engagement, or support networks—are sustaining female gains and should inform how you interpret results and design interventions.
Distinguishing Factors in Regular Candidates
You see regular candidates’ results show girls outperforming boys across all streams, producing a board-wide gap of more than 18 percentage points. For your review, factors include consistent attendance, stronger classroom support, and higher female scores in humanities, commerce, pre-medical and general science. Any observable study habits and school-level resources help explain this persistent advantage.
- You note girls lead by over 18 percentage points overall
- Your data shows wider gaps in humanities and commerce
- You observe stronger female performance in pre-medical and general science
Private Candidates: Trends and Outcomes
You observe private candidates mirror regular trends: female private candidates outperform males across streams, with notably wide margins in humanities and commerce, reinforcing the overall >18-point gender gap. For your assessment, this shows female candidates maintain an advantage even outside standard school environments.
You’ll find private candidates rely heavily on coaching, repeat attempts and self-study; your analysis should weigh these factors alongside access to resources, as girls’ disciplined preparation and targeted exam strategies produce stronger outcomes in pre-medical, general science and commerce, while boys lag most in humanities and commerce.
Examination of Humanities and Commerce Scores
You can see the widest gender gaps in humanities and commerce, where girls outperformed boys by a large margin across both regular and private candidates; overall pass-rate data shows girls leading by more than 18 percentage points, indicating your female students dominated these streams and shaped the board’s performance differential.
Insights into Pre-Medical and General Science Outcomes
You’ll find girls delivered stronger results in pre-medical and general science, outperforming boys across regular and private cohorts; this reinforced female academic strength in science streams and contributed significantly to the board’s overall female advantage reflected in the more than 18 percentage-point pass-rate lead.
For more detail, you should note female dominance in pre-medical and general science held among both regular and private candidates, with girls not only achieving higher pass rates but also stronger subject-wise marks, suggesting your cohort’s future medical and science intakes will likely include proportionally more women from the Sargodha Board.
Factors Contributing to Female Academic Success
Girls in BISE Sargodha outperformed boys across all streams, with a gap of more than 18 percentage points, driven by focused study routines and stronger support structures you can observe. Contributing factors include:
- higher classroom engagement and consistent attendance
- greater emphasis on coursework and exam strategy
- family encouragement and disciplined study environments
Recognizing these drivers helps you see how both behavioural and systemic elements raised female outcomes.
Potential Socioeconomic Effects of Gendered Performance
With girls outperforming boys by over 18 percentage points, you may witness shifts in university admissions, workforce composition, and household investment choices in education; increased female qualifications can boost local incomes while exposing skill gaps among men that policymakers and communities must address.
Over time, you could see more women entering medicine, commerce and humanities where they led, reshaping sectoral talent pools and wage dynamics, while persistent male underperformance risks reducing male participation in certain skilled trades and STEM fields unless you implement remedial education, vocational training, and targeted mentorship to restore balance and protect socioeconomic mobility.
You should know the 2025 HSSC First Annual Examination results from BISE Sargodha show a clear and consistent advantage for female students across every academic stream and in both regular and private categories.
According to official data, the overall performance gap exceeds 18 percentage points, with girls recording a substantially higher pass rate than boys in Sargodha. This margin highlights a systemic difference you cannot ignore when assessing board outcomes.
For regular candidates, girls outperformed boys in humanities, pre-medical, pre-engineering, general science and commerce. The widest gaps appear in humanities and commerce, indicating areas where female achievement has risen markedly compared with male peers.
Private candidates mirror the same pattern: female students led across humanities, pre-medical, pre-engineering, general science and commerce. Again, humanities and commerce show particularly large disparities between genders among private entrants.
In the science streams you follow closely, girls showed particularly strong results in pre-medical and general science, strengthening their academic edge in subjects traditionally viewed as competitive gateways to professional programs.
If you are a parent, teacher or policymaker, your response should focus on targeted interventions for underperforming groups, improved guidance and resources for male students where gaps are widest, and reinforcement of practices that are helping female students succeed.
When all is said and done, the BISE Sargodha 2025 HSSC results make it clear that girls outperformed boys across virtually all groups, with an overall gap of more than 18 percentage points; your next steps should address those disparities with data-driven support and policy adjustments.
