Karachi, May 7, 2025 – Amid heightened tensions following the recent conflict between Pakistan and India, the British Council Pakistan has reassured students and schools that all Cambridge examinations will continue according to the previously announced schedule.
In an official statement released on Wednesday morning, the British Council Pakistan confirmed, “All exams scheduled for today [Wednesday, May 7, 2025] will proceed as planned. We will keep you updated if there are any changes.” The announcement aims to dispel uncertainty among students and parents after the previous night’s cross-border hostilities.
The Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) exams are currently in full swing across the country, with thousands of “O” and “A” Level students appearing for critical assessments. In light of the recent regional conflict, many students have expressed concern over potential disruptions. However, the British Council Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the examination process remains uninterrupted.
While the British Council Pakistan did not directly reference the ongoing geopolitical conflict in its statement, the underlying tension has added an emotional burden to students who are already under academic pressure. Many candidates and their families were anxiously awaiting an update regarding the status of exams.
To provide further support, the British Council Pakistan has advised students to contact their respective schools for any concerns related to the exams. Private candidates have been encouraged to reach out to the British Council’s customer service centers for assistance and guidance.
As one of the leading international education bodies in the country, the British Council has a long-standing reputation for maintaining high standards in academic coordination, even during times of uncertainty. Its commitment to holding exams as per schedule reflects both resilience and an effort to preserve the academic calendar for thousands of students across Pakistan.
The British Council Pakistan continues to monitor the situation closely and has pledged to communicate promptly should there be any adjustments to the current exam schedule.
