Karachi:The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) on Friday presented awards to the position holders of the institution.

The position holders of the AKU-EB’s Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations received awards by the last year’s top performers during a ceremony held at the conference room of the university.

Hani Ghulam Abbas of Aga Khan Higher Secondary School (AKHSS), Karimabad, bagged the first position award in the HSSC exams with 88 percent marks. Asma Gulab of AKHSS and Hunza of Mianwali Education Trust College received the awards for the second position each with 87.82 percent marks, while Raza Malja of Mianwali Education Trust College with 87.64 percent marks secured the third position award.

Meanwhile, the top three SSC position holders; Hooria Imran of Sultan Mohammad Shah, Aga Khan School with 93.55 percent marks, Komal Zehra Zaidi of Al-Murtaza School (Girls Branch) with 93.45 percent marks and Sarah Salahuddin of Shahwilayat Public School with 92.82 percent marks were also awarded certificates during the ceremony.

Last year’s position holders presented the certificates to top six position holders of 2011. The principals of the schools, represented by the position holders, also attended the ceremony.

“It is exciting to honour the 2011 award recipients. The AKU-EB teaches its students to go beyond the usual, research extensively, exchange ideas with peers and teachers and to critically analyse each piece of information that comes across,” stated Mahek Rajani, an AKU-EB student and HSSC third position holder.

“This is an excellent platform for reuniting our current students and the alumni to learn from one another. It also gives us an opportunity to see how our students have progressed over the years,” remarked Tasneem Shabbar, Director Al-Murtaza School.

A spokesman for the university said “AKU-EB students, who graduated in the past years, have been admitted to 114 best institutes of higher education across Pakistan and abroad.”

He added that the candidates could access their complete annual HSSC results online at www.aku.edu/akueb.The news.
