Hello,

It looks like the values are degrees decimal minutes:

68 03.0708
26 22.6819

if the positions are in Pakistan. They'll first need to be converted to decimal degrees. One simple method is to divide the minutes part by 60 and add to the degree part:

68.05118
26.378031666667

The next question is which geographic coordinate system (datum) are these points based upon? WGS84 or a Pakistan GCS? If the latter, try Kalianpur 1962, well-known ID = 4145.
