Onkar Singh, a 15-year-old Sikh student, has achieved outstanding results in the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Lahore’s Class 9 examination for 2025. He topped the exam with near-perfect marks in Islamiyat, scoring 98 out of 100.

Onkar also performed well in other subjects, earning 60 in physics, 60 in chemistry, and 59 in biology. According to the official marksheet accessed from the BISE Lahore website, he received A+ grades in every subject, India Today reported.

Besides Islamiyat, Onkar scored 75 in English, 74 in Urdu, and 49 out of 50 in the Translation of the Holy Quran.

Islamiyat is a compulsory subject in Pakistan’s school curriculum, focusing on the study of Islam as a religion, its teachings, history, worldview, and civilisation. It covers the Quran, Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), Islamic ethics, and the religion’s role in society.

This year, over 380,000 students appeared for the Class 9 exam across Punjab, with only 45 per cent passing.

The official results were published online on Wednesday. A special ceremony will be held soon to honour top performers from all nine Punjab education boards, including Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and others.
