Over the years, Cadet College Petaro has produced brilliant students who have proved their worth not only within the college, but also obtained positions from the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Hyderabad in the SSC (Matriculation) examination and in the HSSC (Intermediate) examination. Many of these brilliant stars proceeded on to gain laurels at institutions of higher education in Pakistan and abroad.
However, every achievement starts out with a difficult start. So was it at Petaro. It is reported that the first batch to appear for the SSC (Matriculation) examination was in 1960. Of the 25 boys who appeared, 21 failed. (17-18 of these boys then cleared the Supplementary Examination). This was a total disaster for the college. It called for caution, introspection and re-organization. In 1963, the top two positions in the Board in the Intermediate examinations were taken by Petarians - Akhtar Ali Abbasi (1st) and Mirza Ashfaq Baig (2nd). Petaro never looked back after that year - gaining positions in the Board year after year almost since then. A vast majority of the cadets over these decades passed the Board examinations with a First Division or an "A" Grade. Please see the following lists of position holders in Board examinations over the years: Position
