Karnataka 2nd PUC Results 2026 Announced with Revised Passing Criteria and New Exam System The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) released the results for the Class 12 PUC II examinations on April 9, 2026, as announced on its official websites, including karresults.nic.in and kseab.karnataka.gov.in. The results became available at 3 pm, with a press conference scheduled for 6:15 pm to discuss toppers and district-wise performance. Students could also access their marks through the KarnatakaOne Mobile App, DigiLocker, WhatsApp, and SMS. The results were initially delayed from April 7 due to administrative issues related to the state’s general elections, as the model code of conduct imposed restrictions on public announcements. A total of 7,10,363 students from 5,174 colleges participated in the exams, which were held from February 28 to March 17, 2026. The student distribution across streams was 2,92,645 in Science, 2,11,174 in Commerce, and 1,42,982 in Arts. The exams were conducted at 1,217 centers, with 6,46,801 first-time candidates, 50,540 repeaters, and 13,022 private candidates. The evaluation system for the 2nd PUC exams follows an 80+20 model, combining written exams and internal assessments. The minimum passing criteria were adjusted this year, with the required percentage lowered from 35% to 30%. Students must score at least 30 marks in each subject (combining theory and practical/internal scores) and achieve an overall aggregate of 33% (198 out of 600 marks) to pass. This change was introduced to ease the academic burden on students. The KSEAB also implemented a tri-annual exam system, allowing students three opportunities to clear the 2nd PUC examinations.#karnataka_government #digilocker #kseab #karnataka_school_examination_and_assessment_board #karnataka_one_mobile_app
Karnataka 2nd PUC 12th Result 2026 Announced The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has officially declared the Class 12 Pre-University Course (PUC) results for 2026 on April 9. The announcement came after delays caused by challenges in data compilation and logistical coordination. KSEAB Chairman Prakash GT Nittali confirmed that the results were postponed from the originally planned April 7 date. The 2nd PUC examinations were held from February 18 to March 17 across 1,217 examination centers in the state. A total of 7,10,363 students from 5,174 pre-university colleges registered for the exams. Of these, 2,92,645 were in the science stream, 2,11,174 in commerce, and 1,42,982 in the arts stream. The large number of participants contributed to extended evaluation timelines. Students can now access their results through the KSEAB official websites, karresults.nic.in and kseab.karnataka.gov.in, as well as via DigiLocker. For the first time, digital scorecards will be available on digilocker.gov.in starting at 3 p.m. on April 9. Additionally, results can be checked using the KarnatakaOne mobile application. The board also provided helpline details for students facing issues while retrieving their results. KSEAB emphasized that the delay in announcing the results was due to coordination challenges and adherence to guidelines, including those related to the model code of conduct during by-elections. The 2nd PUC results follow the announcement of the 1st PUC results on March 31, 2026, which followed a similar timeline. The board’s decision to delay the results reflects the complexity of managing such a large-scale examination process. Students are advised to use their registration numbers and dates of birth to access their results online.#karnataka_school_examination_and_assessment_board #prakash_gt_nittali #kseab #karresults_nic_in #kseab_karnataka_gov_in
