What is KBPE Result 2026?
The KBPE Plus Two Result is the Class 12 board examination result declared by the Kerala Board of Higher Secondary Education (KBPE), officially administered through the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Kerala. Every year, around 4 lakh students from the Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams sit for this exam — making it one of India’s larger state board examinations. The result determines whether a student has earned the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and is eligible for undergraduate admissions.
Your Plus Two marks and grades directly influence your eligibility for KEAM (Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical entrance), pharmacy and paramedical admissions through LBS Centre, central university admissions via CUET, and NEET-based medical seat allotment where state board marks play a role in eligibility criteria. Here is a quick overview of the 2026 result:

KBPE Result Previous Year Statistics
The KBPE Plus Two overall pass percentage has been on a downward trend since 2022, settling into a 77–79% band over the past three years. The higher figures in 2022 and 2023 were partly influenced by post-pandemic flexibility in assessments. Since 2024, results have stabilised in this narrower corridor — and 2026’s 77.97% continues that pattern, with only a fractional increase over 2025.
| Year | Total Appeared | Overall Pass % | Girls Pass % | Boys Pass % | Result Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ~4.25 lakh | 77.97% | 86.89% | 68.41% | May 26, 2026 |
| 2025 | ~4.44 lakh | 77.81% | 86.65% | 68.44% | May 22, 2025 |
| 2024 | 3,74,755 | 78.69% | — | — | May 9, 2024 |
| 2023 | 4,32,436 | 82.95% | — | — | May 25, 2023 |
| 2022 | ~4 lakh | 83.87% | — | — | June 21, 2022 |
Girls have consistently outperformed boys by 17–19 percentage points. In 2026, girls’ pass rate edged up to 86.89% (from 86.65% in 2025), while boys’ rate was virtually unchanged at 68.41% versus 68.44% last year. This persistent gender gap is one of the most consistent features of the Kerala Plus Two result across years.
The stream-wise trend shows Science holding the lead every year and Humanities consistently trailing. The table below puts 2026 in context against the two most recent comparable years:
| Stream | Pass % (2026) | Pass % (2025) | Pass % (2023) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Science | 84.52% | 83.25% | 87.31% |
| Commerce | 74.74% | 74.21% | 82.75% |
| Humanities | 66.38% | 69.16% | 71.93% |
Science and Commerce both improved slightly from 2025 to 2026. Humanities, however, dropped by nearly 3 percentage points — reversing a partial recovery seen in 2025. Humanities pass rates have declined by around 5.5 percentage points since 2023, the steepest multi-year fall across all three streams.
How to Check KBPE Plus Two Result 2026
The DHSE Kerala result is available on multiple official portals at the same time. If one portal is slow due to traffic, try another — they all carry the same official result. Here is the step-by-step process on the primary portal:
- Go to dhsekerala.gov.in or keralaresults.nic.in
- Click the "HSE Second Year Examination Results 2026" link on the homepage
- Enter your roll number and date of birth in the fields shown
- Click Submit — your result appears on screen
- Download the result as a PDF and save it; also take a printout for quick reference during admissions
If the primary portals are congested, these alternative methods work just as well:
| Method | How to Use |
|---|---|
| results.hse.kerala.gov.in | DHSE’s dedicated result portal — enter roll number and date of birth; same result as the primary site |
| results.kite.kerala.gov.in | KITE-managed mirror portal; handles high traffic well; same login process |
| DigiLocker | Log in with your Aadhaar-linked mobile number, search for DHSE Kerala under the issuer list, and download your official digital marksheet — accepted at most colleges for admissions |
| SMS | Send your roll number to the SMS number published by DHSE Kerala on the official portal; you receive a text with your marks summary |
| School Login | Your school principal can download class-wise results in bulk from the DHSE school portal — ask your school if you cannot access the result yourself |
Ques. My result shows an error or discrepancy in marks — what should I do?
Ans. First, double-check that you entered the correct roll number and date of birth. If the details are accurate and an error still shows — for example, a subject mark looks wrong or your name is misspelled — contact your school immediately. Schools submit correction requests on students’ behalf through the DHSE portal. Do not wait; the revaluation and scrutiny window opens shortly after the result.
Ques. How long will the KBPE Plus Two result link remain active online?
Ans. The result link stays active on dhsekerala.gov.in and keralaresults.nic.in for several months after declaration. That said, download and save your result right away — admission portals open quickly after the result, and you will need the document at hand. The DigiLocker version is permanently accessible as long as your account is active.
KBPE Plus Two Result 2026: Details on the Marksheet
The official marksheet issued by DHSE Kerala is the document colleges and universities ask for during admissions. The online result you download is a provisional copy; your school distributes the original physical marksheet separately. Here is everything it shows:
| Detail on Marksheet | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Student’s Name | Full name as registered with DHSE Kerala |
| Roll Number | Your unique exam registration number |
| Date of Birth | As per school records submitted to DHSE |
| School Name and Code | The school where you appeared for the exam |
| Stream | Science / Commerce / Humanities |
| Subject-wise Marks | Theory marks and practical/internal marks separately, plus total per subject |
| Subject-wise Grade | A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, or E for each subject |
| Subject-wise Grade Points | On a 10-point scale for each subject |
| CGPA | Cumulative Grade Point Average calculated across all subjects |
| Overall Result Status | Pass / Failed / SAY (Save A Year) Eligible / Compartment |
The original physical marksheet your school distributes is what you use for college admissions. Keep it safe. The DigiLocker digital copy is accepted at most institutions and is useful as a backup. If there are any discrepancies in name, date of birth, or marks on your physical marksheet, report it to your school within the correction window — typically within 2–3 weeks of declaration.
KBPE Plus Two Result 2026: Stream-wise Pass Percentage
All three streams showed movement in 2026. Science improved by 1.27 percentage points to 84.52% — its best rate in two years. Commerce held steady with a marginal 0.53-point gain to 74.74%. Humanities, which had partially recovered in 2025 after a sharp drop in 2024, fell back by nearly 3 percentage points to 66.38% — the most significant decline among the three streams this year.
| Stream | Students Appeared | Students Passed | Pass % (2026) | Pass % (2025) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Science | 1,87,933 | 1,58,836 | 84.52% | 83.25% |
| Commerce | 1,08,567 | 81,147 | 74.74% | 74.21% |
| Humanities | 75,923 | 50,398 | 66.38% | 69.16% |
Science accounts for over half of all Plus Two regular candidates in Kerala — 1,87,933 out of 3,72,423. Its improvement this year was the single biggest contributor to the overall state pass rate holding positive despite the Humanities dip. Students in Humanities who are close to the pass mark should consider applying for revaluation, given that stream has the widest gap between appeared and passed candidates.
KBPE Plus Two Result 2026: District-wise Performance
Kerala has 14 districts, and DHSE publishes district-wise pass percentages as part of post-declaration statistics. In 2026, Idukki topped the state with 84.64% — the highest pass rate among all 14 districts. Kasaragod recorded the lowest at 71.72%. On the academic excellence front, Malappuram produced the highest number of full A+ scorers with 4,621 students achieving A+ in every subject — the most in Kerala.
| District | Pass % (2026) | Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Idukki | 84.64% | Highest pass rate in Kerala 2026 |
| Malappuram | — | Most full A+ scorers statewide — 4,621 students |
| Kasaragod | 71.72% | Lowest pass rate in Kerala 2026 |
Complete district-wise pass percentages for all 14 districts — including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kannur, and others — are published on dhsekerala.gov.in. The roughly 13-percentage-point gap between the best and lowest district reflects differences in school infrastructure and student preparedness across Kerala.
KBPE Plus Two Result 2026: Gender-wise Analysis
Girls have outperformed boys in the KBPE Plus Two result for many consecutive years, and 2026 is no different. The gap widened slightly to 18.48 percentage points, with girls at 86.89% and boys at 68.41% — one of the most persistent gender performance gaps seen in any Indian state board examination.
| Gender | Pass % (2026) | Pass % (2025) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Girls | 86.89% | 86.65% | +0.24 pp |
| Boys | 68.41% | 68.44% | −0.03 pp |
Girls’ performance improved marginally while boys’ pass rate was essentially flat. The consistent 17–19 percentage-point gap observed across 2025 and 2026 suggests this is a structural pattern rather than a one-year anomaly. Among the top achievers, 30,561 regular students scored full A+ (90% or above in every subject), and 60 students achieved a perfect 1200 out of 1200. Schools that achieved a 100% pass rate numbered 76 across the state.
KBPE Plus Two Result 2026: Grading System
DHSE Kerala uses a 10-point grading scale for the Plus Two result. Each subject gets an individual grade based on the marks you score in that subject (theory and practical combined). The grade and grade point for every subject appear on your marksheet. Here is the complete scale:
| Mark Range | Grade | Grade Point | Performance Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | A+ | 10 | Outstanding |
| 80–89 | A | 9 | Excellent |
| 70–79 | B+ | 8 | Very Good |
| 60–69 | B | 7 | Good |
| 50–59 | C+ | 6 | Above Average |
| 40–49 | C | 5 | Average |
| 30–39 | D+ | 4 | Below Average |
| 20–29 | D | 3 | Poor |
| Below 20 | E | — | Fail |
Your CGPA is the simple average of grade points across all your subjects. "Full A+" — which 30,561 students achieved in 2026 — means you scored 90 or above in every subject, giving a CGPA of exactly 10.0. For university admissions that ask for a percentage equivalent, a commonly used conversion is CGPA × 9.5, though different institutions may apply their own formula.
Ques. What does a full A+ in KBPE Plus Two mean?
Ans. Full A+ means you scored 90 marks or above in every subject. In 2026, 30,561 regular students achieved this. It corresponds to a CGPA of 10.0 — the highest possible result category on the Kerala board.
Ques. How is CGPA calculated in KBPE Plus Two?
Ans. CGPA is the average of grade points across all your subjects. DHSE calculates it automatically and prints it on your marksheet. If you scored A+ (10) in all subjects, your CGPA is 10.0. For mixed grades — say 10, 9, 8, 8, 9, and 6 across six subjects — your CGPA = 50 ÷ 6 = 8.33.
KBPE Plus Two Passing Marks 2026
To pass the KBPE Plus Two exam, you must clear each subject individually. An overall Pass status is only given if you meet the minimum mark requirement in every subject. Failing even one subject results in a Failed or SAY-eligible status on your marksheet.
| Component | Minimum Required to Pass |
|---|---|
| Theory paper (subjects without practical) | 30 out of 100 marks (30%) |
| Theory paper (subjects with practical) | As specified by DHSE for each subject |
| Practical / Lab component | As specified by DHSE for each subject |
| Overall subject result | Must pass both theory and practical components individually |
For Science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, you must pass the theory paper and the lab practical separately — clearing theory alone is not enough. If you pass theory but fail the practical (or the other way around), you fail that subject overall and must appear for the supplementary exam in that subject. The minimum passing marks and total marks structure for each subject are published in the DHSE Kerala examination notification at dhsekerala.gov.in.
KBPE Plus Two Grace Marks 2026
DHSE Kerala applies a grace mark scheme to help students who score just below the minimum passing mark in one or more subjects. Grace marks are applied automatically by the board during result processing — you do not apply for them separately.
- Grace marks help students who narrowly miss the passing mark in individual subjects cross the threshold
- The board considers your overall performance profile before applying grace marks to any subject
- Grace marks are applied within the limits set in DHSE Kerala’s official grace mark policy for the 2025–26 academic year
- Your marksheet shows final marks after any grace marks have been applied — the pre-grace raw marks are not separately printed
- Students who still fall short of passing even after grace marks are eligible for the SAY (supplementary) examination
- Receiving grace marks and passing creates no separate notation on your marksheet — your Pass status looks the same as any other pass
The specific grace mark limits and eligibility criteria for 2026 are published by DHSE Kerala. Check dhsekerala.gov.in for the official grace mark notification applicable to the 2025–26 examination.
