AKU-EB Tutoring
Understanding-led SSC and HSSC examinations, plus the Grade 4–8 primary and middle programmes.
The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) is Pakistan's first private, autonomous examination board, established in 2003 under Ordinance CXIV. It examines the same National Curriculum of Pakistan as the government boards but assesses it very differently — its papers reward conceptual understanding and application rather than reproduction — and its programmes run from the Primary School Programme and Middle School Programme through SSC and HSSC, covering Grades 4 to 12. Students arriving from a rote-learning background often stall on that shift. Our tutors teach the reasoning AKU-EB papers actually award marks for, working from its published learning outcomes and specimen papers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which curricula do you tutor in Pakistan?
We cover every mainstream pathway: the National Curriculum of Pakistan (Grades 1–8), Matric (SSC) and Intermediate (HSSC — FSc Pre-Medical, FSc Pre-Engineering, ICS, I.Com and FA) for FBISE and the provincial BISE boards, AKU-EB, Cambridge O Level, IGCSE and AS/A Level, and the IB Diploma. We also prepare students for the MDCAT, ECAT, NUST NET, IELTS and the Digital SAT.
Is O Level equivalent to Matric in Pakistan?
Yes — the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) issues an SSC (Matric) equivalence for Cambridge O Level once a student has passes in at least eight subjects, including Pakistan Studies and Islamiyat. At the next stage, three A Level subjects are required for an HSSC (Intermediate) equivalence. Our tutors plan subject choices with that formula in mind.
How is MBBS and BDS admission merit calculated in Pakistan?
Merit is weighted 50% MDCAT, 40% FSc (HSSC) and 10% Matric (SSC). Candidates must also clear the MDCAT passing mark — 52% for MBBS and 47% for BDS. Because Matric and FSc together carry half the weight, board results matter long before test day, which is why we tutor the syllabus and the entry test as one plan.
Do you prepare students for the MDCAT and ECAT?
Yes. For the MDCAT we work through the PMDC learning objectives with the paper's real weighting — Biology 81 questions, Chemistry 45, Physics 36, English 9 and Logical Reasoning 9, across 180 MCQs in 3 hours 30 minutes with no negative marking. For engineering we coach UET Lahore's 100-MCQ ECAT and the NUST NET, plus timed full-length mocks for both.
Can lessons be taught in Urdu as well as English?
Yes. Several of our Pakistan tutors teach bilingually and will explain a concept in Urdu when that is what makes it land, while keeping exam vocabulary and written answers in the language of the paper. Tell us your preference when you enrol and we'll match accordingly.
Do lessons fit around school and academy timings?
They do. Tutors schedule in Pakistan Standard Time, including early mornings, evenings and weekends, so lessons sit around school, academy classes and Ramadan timings. If your schedule shifts during exam season, we adjust the plan rather than the other way round.
