Inter, matric results to be announced after Punjab cabinet approves promotion policy

LAHORE: The results of inter and matric will be announced after the approval of the promotion policy by the provincial cabinet, the Punjab Boards Committee of Chairmen (PBCC) announced on Wednesday.

The PBCC is an official forum of all nine examination boards of the province.

A day earlier, a spokesperson of the Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education had also said that the results for intermediate and matriculation students would be announced after approval from the provincial cabinet.
