Overview
- Students accessed their May 2026 International Baccalaureate results on Monday through the IBO candidate portal, with grades awarded under the Non‑Exam Contingency Measure after in‑person exams were cancelled for regional security reasons.
- Innoventures Education reported a 100 percent pass rate for its Class of 2026, an average score of 35.8 points, more than $15 million in university scholarships and multiple high scorers including four students with the maximum 45 points.
- Named high achievers who scored 45 points include Nour Al Husseini, Kane Simpson, Aadit Chandrani and Arnav Jayaswal, each commenting on the relief and pride of reaching their results after a disrupted final year.
- UAE education leaders stressed that the NECM process uses schools’ coursework, internal assessments and predicted grades combined with IB moderation to ensure fair, quality‑assured results that universities will accept.
- Because NECM grades rely on school records and IB moderation rather than final exams, students can now proceed with confirmed offers and scholarship arrangements at global universities while authorities and schools continue post‑result support for transitions to higher education.
