Lakhs of students across Karnataka have been waiting anxiously since their exams ended, and now the big moment is almost here. If you appeared for the 1st PUC or 2nd PUC exam this year, I am going to tell you everything you need to know about checking your result online — roll number wise — step by step.
The Karnataka PUC Result 2026 is expected to be declared by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) on the official website karresults.nic.in. Based on previous year trends, the 2nd PUC result usually comes in April or May, and the 1st PUC result follows a few weeks after that. Students should keep their hall ticket or admit card ready because you will need your roll number to access the result online.
Karnataka PUC Result 2026 – Expected Date and Latest Update
As of now, KSEAB has not announced the exact result date officially. However, going by what happened in 2024 and 2026, the 2nd PUC result is likely to be declared in the last week of April 2026 or first week of May 2026. The 1st PUC result is expected sometime in May or June 2026.
The board usually holds a press conference before announcing the result and notifies students through the official website. I would strongly suggest bookmarking karresults.nic.in and pue.karnataka.gov.in so you do not miss the update. Results for both Science, Commerce, and Arts streams will be released together on the same day.

How to Check Karnataka PUC Result 2026 Roll Number Wise
Checking your result online is very simple and takes less than a minute. Here is exactly how I recommend you do it when the result is live.
First, open your browser and go to karresults.nic.in or pue.karnataka.gov.in. On the homepage, you will see a link that says “Karnataka 2nd PUC Result 2026” or “Karnataka 1st PUC Result 2026” — click on whichever applies to you. A new page will open where you need to enter your roll number or register number as printed on your hall ticket. After entering the number, click on the Submit or Get Result button. Your result will appear on the screen with your name, subject-wise marks, total marks, and pass or fail status. I suggest taking a screenshot and also downloading or printing the result for future use.
Can You Check the Result Name Wise?
Many students ask whether they can find their result using their name instead of a roll number. Officially, KSEAB does not provide a name-wise direct search option on its main result portal. The roll number or register number from your admit card is the only way to access your individual result on karresults.nic.in.
However, some third-party education websites like examresults.net or indiaresults.com may offer a name-based search feature during peak result time. I personally recommend using the official KSEAB website for the most accurate and verified result data. Keep your hall ticket safe — do not lose it before the result is declared.
Passing Marks and Grading System for Karnataka PUC 2026
To pass the Karnataka PUC exam, students need to score a minimum of 35 marks out of 100 in each subject. There is also a separate passing requirement for theory and practical components in Science subjects — students must pass both parts individually.
Karnataka PUC follows a marks-based system rather than a pure grade-based one, but many colleges use percentage for admission cutoffs. If you score above 90%, you are in the distinction category, which opens doors to top colleges in Karnataka and across India. Students who score between 60% and 89% fall in the first-class range, while 50% to 59% is considered second class.
Previous Year Result Trends – What to Expect in 2026
Looking at past years helps us understand what to expect this year. In 2026, the Karnataka 2nd PUC result was declared in late April, and the overall pass percentage was around 61% to 63% for all streams combined. Science stream students generally had a slightly lower pass percentage compared to Commerce and Arts.
In 2024, the pass percentage touched nearly 65%, which was considered a good year by the board. Girls consistently outperform boys in Karnataka PUC results, and that trend has continued for several years now. In 2026, educators and students are hoping for a similar or better result, especially since many students prepared seriously after the exam schedule was released well in advance.
Revaluation and Supplementary Exam Details
If you are not happy with your result, KSEAB provides a revaluation option where your answer sheets are re-checked by senior examiners. The revaluation application window usually opens within 7 to 10 days after the result is declared. Students can apply online through the official KSEAB portal and pay the required fee per subject.
Students who fail in one or two subjects can appear for the Supplementary or Compartment exam, which is typically held in June or July 2026. This gives students a chance to pass without losing an entire academic year. Passing the supplementary exam means you still qualify for college admission in the same year, depending on the college’s deadlines.
Official Websites to Check Karnataka PUC Result 2026
There are a few trusted websites where you can check your result as soon as it is announced. The primary official website is karresults.nic.in, which is managed by the NIC and is the most reliable source. The Department of Pre-University Education also updates results at pue.karnataka.gov.in. For faster access during high traffic, you can also try examresults.net or results.gov.in as backup options.
I know how stressful the result day can be — the website often becomes slow due to millions of students accessing it at the same time. My suggestion is to try early morning right after the result goes live, or wait a few hours for the traffic to reduce. Do not panic if the site is slow; it will be back up shortly.
The moment your result is out, save it, share it with your parents, and start planning your next steps — whether that is college admission, revaluation, or the supplementary exam. You have worked hard all year, and this result is just the beginning of your journey. Stay updated by bookmarking this page and the official KSEAB websites so you are the first to know when the result link goes live.
