A total of 1.49 lakh students have registered for the second PU exam scheduled to be held from April 29, according to officials. Of these, 32,848 students have registered in order to improve their scores, while 27,092 are repeaters, 89,221 are those who have not cleared the main examination and 139 are private candidates.

Out of the total registered students, 52,492 are from the Arts stream, 39,427 from Commerce and 57,381 from Science.

KSEAB in a press statement said that, “All the students who have registered for this exam can get the admission ticket from the Mandal website https:// kseab.karnataka.gov.in. Only students with eleven digit registration number can get admission ticket online. Other students should contact the principal of their college to obtain the admission ticket.”

The Karnataka Examination and Assessment Board has for the first introduced a three-part PU examination system to give students (SSLC and PUC) a chance to improve their scores.

As per the earlier examination norms, if a student who has passed the second PU examination is not satisfied with the marks obtained in any subject, there was an option to reject the marks obtained in that subject in the annual examination and take up the examination once again. However, the marks obtained in the supplementary examination were only considered as the final marks of the student without considering the marks obtained in the previous examination.

The new reform aims to do away with this measure, allowing students an opportunity to improve the score by retaining the best marks scored in the first, second and third examinations and provide better opportunities in the selection process for further study or employment. The students can also choose the best score for Karnataka Common Entrance Test as well.
