Previously students faced problems when their results were announced after aptitude test dates in most universities. Earlier overseas students were facing problems because results would be announced after aptitude test dates in most universities. He said this was due to Pakistan not having a central educational board, instead every province has its own board. HSSC - I results are expected on Aug 12, 11 A.M. local time.
