Karnataka SSLC and 2nd PUC Result 2027: Exam 1, 2 and 3 System Explained
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) conducts both SSLC (Class 10) and 2nd PUC (Class 12). The state replaced the old “supplementary exam” with a system of three annual exams, and that changes how results should be read.
In this article
The three-exam system
| Exam | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Exam 1 | The main annual exam, taken by all students in March–April |
| Exam 2 | Held soon after the Exam 1 result, for students who failed or want to improve |
| Exam 3 | A further chance in the same year |
The best marks obtained in a subject across the attempts are retained. A student is not labelled “supplementary pass”.
Expected result months for 2027
- 2nd PUC Exam 1: April 2027, a few weeks after the exam.
- SSLC Exam 1: early to mid May 2027.
- Exam 2 and Exam 3: results follow each exam through the summer.
KSEAB announces dates at a press meet; results go live on the website shortly after.

Marks scheme
- SSLC: total 625 marks. First language is 125, other five subjects 100 each, including internal assessment.
- 2nd PUC: six subjects of 100 marks each, total 600, with practical or internal components as per subject.
Pass criteria
The state has revised the minimum pass marks recently, and the rule now looks at both the marks in each subject and the aggregate. As the criteria have changed from the earlier flat 35%, check the KSEAB circular for the 2027 exam before assuming the old rule.
Should you write Exam 2?
I failed in one or more subjects
Register through your school or college for Exam 2 in those subjects. There is very little gap, so start revising immediately.
I passed but want more marks in science subjects
You may appear for improvement. The higher mark is kept, so there is no downside apart from time.
I have KCET or other counselling coming up
Check the last date by which the improved marks must be available to the counselling authority.
