2nd PUC Results 2026 Karnataka Live Updates: The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) will today release the results for Class 12 PUC II on the official websites: karresults.nic.in and kseab.karnataka.gov.in. The result was initially scheduled for release on April 7, but was delayed due to issues obtaining permission from the Election Commission, as the model code of conduct is imposed in the state due to the general elections. Students will also be able to check KSEAB results on DigiLocker. The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) conducted the PUC examinations from February 28 to March 17, 2026. A total of 7,10,363 students from 5,174 colleges registered for the exams, comprising 6,46,801 first-time candidates, 50,540 repeaters, and 13,022 private candidates. The exams were held at 1,217 centres. Stream-wise registration figures were: 2,92,645 in Science, 2,11,174 in Commerce, and 1,42,982 in Arts. KSEAB has introduced a new system with three annual exams (PUC exam 1, 2, and 3). Students must take the first exam, while the subsequent two are optional opportunities to improve scores, with the best result counting toward the final grade. Students can retake any subject from the first exam in these optional attempts. For more information on Karnataka board results for PUC 2 exams, students can check IE Education portal. The evaluation uses an 80+20 model (80 for the written exam, 20 for internal assessment). The minimum pass percentage has been lowered from 35% to 30%. To pass, a student needs a minimum of 30 marks in each subject (combining written and practical/internal scores) and an overall aggregate of 33% (198 out of 600). In late February, the KSEAB faced scrutiny when a fake PUC 2 question paper was circulated online.
