The 'Marks Memo' is the official Karnataka board term for the marks card or scorecard. It contains subject-wise marks, total marks, aggregate percentage, and qualifying status. Students should download and print the provisional marks memo for immediate reference.
The original plan was to declare results on April 7, 2026.

Once clearance was received, April 9 was confirmed as the result date.
Students are warned against checking results on unverified third-party websites. Only use official portals — karresults.nic.in and kseab.karnataka.gov.in — for authentic result information.

Result link to be activated at 3 pm
In case students notice discrepancies such as incorrect name, roll number, or marks in their result, they should immediately contact their school/PU college and report the error to KSEAB.

Yes, this is one of the most frequently asked questions. Under KSEAB's new system, even students who pass Exam 1 can appear for Exam 2 or Exam 3 to try and improve their marks. The best marks obtained across all three attempts will be used for the final certificate.
Yes, KSEAB typically releases subject-wise and stream-wise pass percentages alongside the result.
Students should note that the marksheet available for download on the result day is a provisional marksheet.
For students who miss Exam 2 or want yet another attempt, Exam 3 is scheduled for June 2026. The exact dates will be confirmed by KSEAB on its official website. Importantly, Exam 3 is designed to align with the timeline just after KCET results, so students who do not qualify in earlier attempts still have a window to improve before final university admissions close.
Several unofficial apps and websites often create fake result portals during peak result periods. These sites may steal your personal data or show incorrect results. Always use only karresults.nic.in, kseab.karnataka.gov.in
The topper title is awarded to the student(s) with the highest aggregate marks across all subjects in their respective streams. In case of a tie, students with the same aggregate are both recognised. KSEAB does not rank based on individual subject marks — it is the total marks that determine the topper.
The online result available on the day of declaration is a provisional digital scorecard. It is for immediate reference only. The physical marks card (original) will be distributed by your PU college a few days or weeks after the result. The original marks card is required for original admission purposes at colleges and universities.
Along with the overall result, KSEAB is expected to release district-wise and college-wise performance data. In past years, districts like Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Bengaluru (Urban) have consistently featured among the top-performing districts.
Under the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), which comes into force during elections, state government departments — including education boards — must obtain prior approval from the Election Commission of India (ECI) before making significant public announcements. This includes board exam results. The delay in Karnataka's 2nd PUC result is a direct consequence of this constitutional requirement.
Karnataka has 5,174 Pre-University colleges affiliated with KSEAB, spread across all districts of the state.
Even students who pass Exam 1 are not required to accept those marks as final. Karnataka's new system allows any student — pass or fail — to re-appear in Exam 2 or Exam 3 to improve their scores. The best marks across the three exams will be considered for final certification
Students who fail in one or two subjects in Exam 1 can appear for the supplementary (Exam 2), scheduled from April 25 to May 9, 2026. The application form and timetable for Exam 2 will be released on the official KSEAB website shortly after Exam 1 results are declared.
A total of 50,540 repeater students appeared for the Karnataka 2nd PUC Exam 1 2026, giving them a renewed opportunity to pass or improve their scores.
Among the total candidates, 13,022 students appeared as private candidates for the Karnataka 2nd PUC Exam 1 2026. Private candidates can check their results on the official portal using their registration number just like regular students. They should visit their nearest PU college or the KSEAB office to collect their original marksheet once it is issued.
The 2026 Karnataka 2nd PUC Exam 1 was conducted across 1,217 examination centres spread throughout the state.
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) is the official government body responsible for conducting PUC (Classes 11 and 12) examinations in Karnataka.
