How Students Checked Their Result
By Roll Number
The primary and fastest method was checking the result online using a roll number on the relevant board’s official website.
By Name
Students who had lost their roll number slip could search using their full name and board, though this method took longer when multiple students shared similar names.
By SMS
For students without internet access, boards offered SMS-based result checking. The SMS codes used were:
- Faisalabad Board – 800240
- Lahore Board – 800291
- Multan Board – 800293
- Sargodha Board – 800290
- Rawalpindi Board – 800296
- Gujranwala Board – 800299
- Bahawalpur Board – 800298
- Sahiwal Board – 800292
- DG Khan Board – 800295
(Note: SMS codes can change between examination cycles — always confirm the current code with your board before sending.)
By Gazette
Schools and teachers commonly used the result gazette to check multiple students’ results at once by searching roll numbers or names within the downloaded file.
