KSEAB SSLC Result Previous Year Statistics

Karnataka SSLC results have swung significantly over the past five years — from a high of 85.63% in 2022 to a low of 66.14% in 2025, then rebounding to a record 94.10% in 2026. Tracking these trends helps you understand the exam’s difficulty pattern and how your year compares historically. Girls have consistently outperformed boys across all five years tracked below.

The 2022–2024 period saw a steady slide in pass rates from 85.63% down to 73.40%, followed by a steeper fall to 66.14% in 2025. The 2026 jump to 94.10% breaks that four-year declining trend sharply — the gender gap also narrowed from over 15 percentage points in 2024 to just 5 percentage points in 2026, meaning boys improved at a faster pace this year.

Year-wise Girls vs Boys Pass % Trend — KSEAB SSLC

Girls have led boys in every year on record for the Karnataka SSLC. The narrowing gap in 2026 suggests a stronger catch-up among male students this cycle, though girls’ pass rate at 96.18% remains nearly 5 points ahead.

KSEAB SSLC Result 2026: Details on Marksheet

Your KSEAB SSLC Marks Card (marksheet) is one of the most important documents you will use over the next several years — for PUC admissions, scholarship applications, competitive exams, and government processes. Check every detail on your digital result the moment you download it. If anything is wrong, report it to your school or KSEAB without waiting.

The KSEAB SSLC 2026 marks card carries the following information:

• Student’s full name
• Date of birth
• SSLC Registration Number
• School name and institution code
• Mother’s name and father’s name
• Subject-wise theory marks
• Subject-wise practical / internal assessment marks
• Subject-wise total marks obtained
• Grand total marks out of 625
• Overall percentage of marks
• Grade / Class awarded (Distinction, First Class, Second Class, Pass)
• Pass / Fail status in each subject and overall
• KSEAB official seal and authorised signature

The original physical marks card is distributed by your school once KSEAB sends the batch to schools. Keep the original safe — it cannot be easily replaced and is required for in-person document verification at colleges and government offices.

KSEAB SSLC Result 2026: Passing Marks

To pass the KSEAB SSLC 2026, you must clear each paper separately — a high aggregate alone does not make up for failing a single subject. You also need a minimum total across all papers. Here is the complete passing marks breakdown:

If you fail one or two papers by a small margin, KSEAB’s grace marks provision may kick in. Under this rule, surplus marks from your highest-scoring papers are redistributed to papers where you fell short — letting you pass without having to appear in a supplementary exam for those subjects. KSEAB specifies the exact grace marks cap in the official circular released alongside the result. Check kseab.karnataka.gov.in for the 2026 grace marks notification.

KSEAB SSLC Result 2026: Grading System

KSEAB awards a grade and a classification on your SSLC marks card based on your aggregate percentage across all six subjects. The grade is printed alongside your total marks and is what colleges see during PUC admissions. Here is the standard grading scale:

Grade A+ (Distinction) is the highest classification. In 2026, seven students hit the absolute top of this band by scoring a perfect 625 out of 625. If you scored above 469 (75%), you are in First Class — a strong starting point for Science or Commerce PUC streams.

KSEAB SSLC Result 2026: District-wise and Gender-wise Statistics

KSEAB publishes district-wise and gender-wise pass percentages alongside the Exam-1 result every year. These numbers show where Karnataka performs strongly and where students may need more support. In 2026, coastal Karnataka districts continued their tradition of topping the chart while Hyderabad-Karnataka (Kalyana Karnataka) districts remained at the bottom — a gap that KSEAB has consistently flagged for targeted interventions.

Gender-wise Pass Percentage — SSLC 2026 (Exam-1)

Top and Bottom Performing Districts — SSLC 2026 (Exam-1)

Dakshina Kannada and Udupi have consistently topped the Karnataka SSLC rankings year after year, backed by stronger school infrastructure and higher teacher density in the coastal belt. A notable shift in 2026: rural students outperformed urban students statewide — KSEAB highlighted this in its official result announcement, signalling a positive shift in academic outcomes outside major cities.

KSEAB SSLC Exam-2 Supplementary Result 2026

Students who failed one or more papers in SSLC Exam-1 2026 could appear in Exam-2, conducted from May 18 to May 25, 2026. KSEAB declared the Exam-2 result on May 30, 2026. A total of 68,802 students qualified through this supplementary attempt, adding significantly to the state’s overall qualified count for the 2026 SSLC cycle.

After Exam-2, KSEAB published the Consolidated Exam-1 & Exam-2 Best Marks Result in June 2026. This consolidated result is now available at karresults.nic.in. It works like this: for each individual subject, KSEAB picks whichever exam gave you the higher score. So if you scored 65 in Mathematics in Exam-1 and 80 in Exam-2, your consolidated marksheet shows 80 for Maths — regardless of how your overall Exam-1 and Exam-2 totals compare.

If you appeared in both exams and your Exam-2 marks lifted you from Fail to Pass in a paper you had failed in Exam-1, your consolidated marksheet will show a Pass for that paper. The consolidated result is what KSEAB officially treats as your final SSLC 2026 result — use this marksheet for PUC admissions and scholarship applications.

Students who could not clear even after Exam-2 can appear for SSLC Exam-3, the second supplementary, expected in June–July 2026. They can also apply for revaluation of their Exam-2 answer papers — see the next section for the full process.

KSEAB SSLC Result 2026: Revaluation, Retotalling and Photocopy

If you are not satisfied with your Exam-2 marks, KSEAB gives you three options — photocopy of your answer script, retotalling of marks, or full revaluation. The application window for Exam-2 is currently open as of June 2026. All applications are submitted online at kseab.karnataka.gov.in. Getting the photocopy first is mandatory before you can apply for revaluation.

Revaluation Fees — SSLC Exam-2 2026

How to Apply for Revaluation / Retotalling / Photocopy — Exam-2 (Step by Step)

1. Go to kseab.karnataka.gov.in
2. Find and click the link for Revaluation / Retotalling / Photocopy — SSLC Exam-2 2026
3. Log in using your SSLC Registration Number and Date of Birth
4. Select the subject(s) you want to apply for
5. Choose the service type — Photocopy, Retotalling, or Revaluation
6. Pay the fee online through the payment gateway
7. Submit and save the acknowledgement receipt

The revised revaluation result for Exam-2 is expected in July 2026. If your revaluation marks push you above the passing threshold in a paper you had failed, your pass/fail status for that paper changes — and KSEAB updates your consolidated marksheet accordingly.

What to Do After KSEAB SSLC Result 2026?

Your next steps after the KSEAB SSLC 2026 result depend on how you performed. Here is a clear plan for both scenarios.

If you passed SSLC 2026:

• Download your consolidated marksheet — visit karresults.nic.in and download the consolidated Exam-1 & 2 best-marks result, which is your official final SSLC marks card
• Collect the original marks card from your school — KSEAB sends physical marksheets to schools for distribution; collect yours as soon as your school announces it is available
• Apply for PUC (Class 11) admission — Karnataka PUC admissions typically open in June–July. You can choose Science, Commerce, or Arts at any recognised PU College in Karnataka. Your SSLC marks card is the primary document needed
• Check scholarship eligibility — Karnataka Post Matric Scholarships and other state schemes often open applications in July–August. SSLC marks determine eligibility thresholds for many of these
• Verify every detail on your marksheet — if you spot any error in your name, date of birth, or marks, report it to your school or KSEAB immediately. Do not wait until admissions are underway

If you failed one or more papers after Exam-1 and Exam-2:

• Apply for Revaluation or Retotalling — if you are close to passing in a paper, apply for revaluation before the June 2026 deadline. An upward revision could change your result
• Register for SSLC Exam-3 — KSEAB will conduct Exam-3 (second supplementary) in June–July 2026 for students who have not cleared after Exam-2. Watch for the official application announcement at kseab.karnataka.gov.in
• Focus preparation on failed subjects only — you appear only for the papers you failed, so targeted revision matters more than broad study. Six to eight weeks of focused preparation is typically enough to clear one or two failed papers
• Seek help from your subject teachers — your school can guide you on which topics to prioritise for Exam-3 based on how KSEAB typically frames questions
