Karnataka’s three-exam system for SSLC is one of the most student-friendly policies among all state boards in India. While most boards make students wait a full year for a second attempt, KSEAB gives students three chances within the same academic year. The Karnataka SSLC Exam 2 2026 is scheduled from May 18 to May 25, 2026 — running almost immediately after the main Exam 1 result is declared in early May. Students who fail one or more subjects in Exam 1, or those who want to improve their scores, can appear for Exam 2. The Exam 2 result is expected in June 2026.
This page covers everything about SSLC Exam 2 — who is eligible, what the fee structure is, how to check the result, and how Exam 3 in July works as a further safety net.
Latest Update (April 22, 2026): The Karnataka SSLC Exam 1 result is expected first week of May 2026. The SSLC Exam 2 (Supplementary) is scheduled for May 18–25, 2026 with results in June 2026. This page explains who can appear, eligibility, fee details, and how to check the Exam 2 result.

How the Three-Exam System Works — Exam 1, 2 and 3
Understanding the full cycle helps students plan their next steps without panic after Exam 1 results:
- Exam 1 (March–April 2026): The main examination. Students who pass all subjects move to PUC admissions. Students with ‘Not Completed’ in any subject can appear for Exam 2.
- Exam 2 (May 18–25, 2026): The first supplementary opportunity. Fresh regular students who failed Exam 1 appear free of charge. Improvement students pay the fee. Exam 2 result comes in June 2026.
- Exam 3 (July 2026): Third and final opportunity within the academic year. Students who failed both Exam 1 and Exam 2 can appear for Exam 3. Result expected in July 2026. Students who do not clear Exam 3 must repeat the academic year.
Subjects passed in Exam 1 are retained — a student appearing in Exam 2 only needs to appear in the failed subject(s), not the entire examination again.

Revaluation for Exam 1 — Apply Before Exam 2 Begins
If you believe your Exam 1 marks are incorrect before appearing for Exam 2, you can apply for revaluation or re-totalling through kseab.karnataka.gov.in. The revaluation window typically opens within 10–15 days of the Exam 1 result declaration. Fee applies per subject. Revaluation results are usually published before or around the Exam 2 dates, giving students clarity on whether they need to appear for Exam 2 at all.
