  • Pass percentages and topper lists released as the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) announces the Exam 1 results for 2026.

Bengaluru ; The wait is finally over for thousands of students across Karnataka as the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) officially declared the results for the 2nd PUC (Class 12) Exam 1 today. Students can now access their scores and provisional marksheets by visiting the official results portal at karresults.nic.in. This announcement marks the conclusion of weeks of anticipation for families and educators across the state, signaling the start of the transition into higher education for the 2026-27 academic session.

This year's data reveals a strong overall performance across all three major streams: Science, Commerce, and Arts. Early analysis shows that the state has maintained a high pass percentage, with girl students once again holding a slight lead over boys in the final tallies. The Science stream continues to produce the highest individual scores, though the Commerce and Arts streams have shown a notable increase in successful candidates compared to previous years. The board has also released the names of top achievers who secured near-perfect marks, celebrating their academic dedication.

For those looking to download their results, the process remains simple. By entering their registration number and selecting their specific stream on the board's website, students can view a detailed breakdown of their marks. While the online result is available immediately for quick reference, the official hard-copy certificates will be distributed through respective schools and colleges in the coming weeks.

Students who may not be satisfied with their performance have immediate options for improvement. The KSEAB has confirmed that the window for re-evaluation and marks verification will open shortly. Additionally, the schedule for "Exam 2"-the state's supplementary cycle-will be announced soon. This multi-exam system is designed to lower student stress, allowing those who failed or wish to boost their scores a second opportunity to do so without losing a full academic year.

As the focus now shifts toward university admissions, colleges across Karnataka are preparing to open their enrollment portals. These results serve as the primary gateway for students looking to enter undergraduate programs, making today one of the most significant dates in the state's academic calendar. With the 2nd PUC hurdle cleared, thousands of young adults are now ready to take their next steps into professional and degree courses.
