Analyzing Previous Year Trends (2025 vs 2026)
Looking at the 2025 data can give us a clear picture of what to expect this year. In 2025, the results were announced on April 8 with an overall pass percentage of 73.45%.
Performance Breakdown from last year:
- Science Stream: 82.54% (The highest performing group).
- Commerce Stream: 76.07%.
- Arts Stream: 53.29%.
For 2026, experts suggest that the pass percentage might see a 2-3% increase due to the introduction of the new “Multiple Exam System,” which has reduced the mental burden on students, allowing them to focus better on their primary subjects.
The Three-Exam System: A Game Changer
The Karnataka Board has replaced the old “Supplementary” model with a more flexible Three-Exam System.
- Exam 1 (February/March): The main annual exam.
- Exam 2 (April/May): For those who failed or those who want to improve their scores.
- Exam 3 (June/July): A final chance for students to better their performance.The best score among these three attempts will be considered for the final marks card. This ensures that a single bad day doesn’t ruin a student’s entire career path.
Revaluation and Scanned Copies: How to Apply
If you feel that your marks do not reflect your true performance, you have the right to challenge the evaluation.
- Apply for Scanned Copy: Within 3–5 days of the result, you can apply for a scanned copy of your answer sheet through the KSEAB website.
- Apply for Revaluation: Once you receive the scanned copy and find errors, you can apply for a formal re-evaluation. A fee is applicable per subject, which is refunded if your marks increase significantly.
