How to get IBCC equivalence for O and A Levels

If you did O Levels or A Levels, Pakistani universities and scholarships need an equivalence certificate from the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC). It converts your grades to Matric and Intermediate marks.

Steps

1. Register on the IBCC portal (ibcc.edu.pk) and fill the equivalence form.
2. Upload your O Level and A Level statements of results, CNIC or B-Form, and a photograph.
3. Pay the fee through the generated challan (about PKR 2,000 to 3,000).
4. Send original result statements by courier or visit an IBCC office (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta) with a booked appointment.
5. The certificate is issued after verification with Cambridge or the awarding body.

Tips

• Apply for Matric equivalence (O Levels) as soon as your results arrive; do not wait for A Levels.
• A Level equivalence needs at least 8 O Level subjects and 3 A Level subjects for most streams; check the IBCC subject rules for pre-medical and pre-engineering.

Typical time: 2 to 3 weeks after documents reach IBCC.
