> English sank most of the field in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's civil judge written exam. Who passed, the paper-by-paper pass rates and what failed candidates can do now.

Only **3 of 1,024 candidates** passed the written examination for **Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate and Alaqa Qazi (BPS-18)** in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the result the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) posted on its website on Friday 2 October 2026 (advertisement No. 03/2026). The Peshawar High Court had advertised **105 posts** in April 2026, which means at most three of them can be filled from this round, [ProPakistani reported](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/02/only-3-out-of-1024-candidates-pass-kp-civil-judge-exam/).

The three who passed are **Saba Rasool** (South Waziristan), **Abdullah Noor** (Bajaur) and **Sayed Zahid Hussain** (Mardan).

## KPPSC civil judge result 2026 in numbers

| Stage | Candidates |
| --- | --- |
| Applications received | 3,097 |
| Appeared in the written exam | 1,024 |
| Passed every paper | 3 |
| Posts advertised | 105 |

That is a pass rate of about **0.3%** of those who sat the exam.

## Where candidates failed

English sank most of the field. Pass counts per paper, as reported from the KPPSC result:

| Paper | Passed | Sat | Pass rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| English (General and Essay) | 149 | 1,024 | about 15% |
| General Knowledge | 317 | 1,005 | about 32% |
| Urdu (General and Essay) | 369 | 654 | about 57% |
| Criminal Law | 803 | 996 | about 81% |
| Pashto (General and Essay) | 335 | 340 | about 96% |

Candidates had to clear every paper, so a law graduate who did well in criminal law but failed the English essay is out. The English paper alone removed 875 candidates.

## What happens next

- **The three successful candidates** must submit their documents to KPPSC within **15 days** before moving to the next stage.
- **Everyone else:** the commission has posted detailed marks certificates (DMCs) on [kppsc.gov.pk](https://www.kppsc.gov.pk/). Candidates who think a paper was marked wrongly can apply for **re-totalling** of their marks; a re-total checks the addition, not the marking itself.
- **The other 102 posts** cannot be filled from this round of the exam.
