200 marks in KSEAB SSLC 2026 equals 38.1% on the revised 525-mark aggregate (third language excluded per 2026 board guidelines), placing you in the Grade C passing band — provided you also cleared the 30% minimum in each individual subject.
The Karnataka SSLC 2026 results were declared on April 23, 2026. A key change in 2026 removed third language marks from the aggregate calculation, reducing the effective total from 625 to 525 marks. For students who scored around 200 marks, this shift is decisive: 200 out of 525 is a passing percentage at Grade C. Your official marksheet at karresults.nic.in shows your final grade and result status.
- Revised aggregate base (2026): 525 marks (third language excluded from aggregate)
- 200 marks percentage: 38.1% — Grade C (passing band: 35–49%)
- Minimum aggregate to pass: 33% of 525 = 174 marks
- Subject-wise minimum: 30% in every subject — falling short in one paper means overall failure even if aggregate clears 33%
- Supplementary exam (Exam 2): Held May 18–25, 2026; results declared May 30, 2026

KSEAB SSLC 2026 Total Marks and Pass Threshold
The KSEAB SSLC 2026 examination spans six subjects with a combined maximum of 625 marks. Each subject includes both internal assessment and external theory marks. Under the 2026 board rule, third language marks are excluded from the pass/fail aggregate, setting the effective total at 525 marks.
| Subject | Internal Marks | External Marks | Total Marks | Counted in Aggregate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Language | 25 | 100 | 125 | Yes |
| Second Language | 20 | 80 | 100 | Yes |
| Third Language | 20 | 80 | 100 | No (2026 rule) |
| Mathematics | 20 | 80 | 100 | Yes |
| Science | 20 | 80 | 100 | Yes |
| Social Studies | 20 | 80 | 100 | Yes |

Both conditions must be met simultaneously: the 33% aggregate and a minimum of 30% in every individual subject.

Refer to karresults.nic.in for the grade officially recorded against your roll number.
Subject-Wise Minimum Marks You Must Clear
A total of 200 marks in the aggregate does not guarantee a pass on its own. KSEAB 2026 requires a minimum of 30% in every individual subject. Falling short in even one paper triggers a fail in that subject, regardless of how strong the aggregate is.
| Subject | Total Marks | Minimum to Pass (30%) |
|---|---|---|
| First Language | 125 | 38 marks |
| Second Language | 100 | 30 marks |
| Third Language | 100 | 30 marks |
| Mathematics | 100 | 30 marks |
| Science | 100 | 30 marks |
| Social Studies | 100 | 30 marks |
Students who scored 200 marks in aggregate but fell below 30% in one or two subjects can use the supplementary exam route to clear those papers. Passing a failed subject in Exam 2 earns a full SSLC pass for the 2026 academic year. Check each subject score on your marksheet before deciding which alternative applies to you.
Alternatives Available After KSEAB SSLC 2026
