Important update about May-June 2022 exams series

Due to the developing uncertain situation, all GCE and IGCSE exams to be held in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, on the 25 May 2022 (AM/PM sessions) have been cancelled. Exams in other parts of the country will continue as per schedule. We’ve made this decision keeping in mind our duty of care towards our candidates, venue staff, and British Council staff. British Council will submit the special consideration request to the board for all exams components (AM/PM) cancelled on 25 May 2022. Exams from the 26 May and onwards are scheduled to continue as per plan. If there are any further changes to the schedule, we will inform you in due course. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Thank you

British Council
