Why you need it

The Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) converts a foreign qualification — O Level results into a Matric-equivalent percentage, A Level results into an FSc/FA-equivalent percentage — so Pakistani universities can compare it against local board results on the same admission merit list.

Without this certificate, most Pakistani universities and even some scholarship programmes won’t process your application, since they can’t otherwise place a Cambridge/Edexcel grade on the same scale as a BSEK or FBISE percentage.

About this page: Abrar Academy School (North Karachi) put this together as a free explainer to help students understand what IBCC equivalence is for and where to apply. We are not affiliated with IBCC and don’t process applications ourselves — requirements, fees and processing time change, so always confirm current details on the official portal above.
