Karnataka 2nd PUC Result 2024: A Vidyalakhsmi tops with 598 marks

Explaining the reason in the rise of the pass percentage, Ritesh Kumar Singh, principal secretary of the school education department said: “The reason for an increase in pass percentage is because of the 80-20 question paper pattern — 80 marks of theory and 20 marks of internal assessment. Moreover, out of the 80 marks for theory, 20 marks are Multiple Choice questions which have contributed to an increase in pass percentage. Moreover even these non-science subjects like mathematics, social science fall under the 80-20 pattern. This was not the case last year.”
