You can see your Karnataka 2nd PUC results by entering your registration number on the official PUE result portal, using the SuVidya mobile app, sending a simple SMS, or downloading the marksheet from DigiLocker.
Why Results Day Matters and When to Expect It
Every year more than seven lakh students sit for the PUC II boards in Karnataka, according to data shared by the Department of Pre‑University Education (PUE). The results decide college admissions, eligibility for national entrance tests, and sometimes even scholarship opportunities. In 2023 the board announced the scores on 21 April at 10 AM, with the link going live fifteen minutes later. The department usually keeps a consistent window, aiming for the third or fourth week of April, and an official notice is published in major newspapers three or four days in advance. Students who monitor the PUE website and the verified Twitter handle @KarnatakaDpue usually get the earliest update.
Key dates to keep in mind
- Practical exams: Early February
- Theory papers: First two weeks of March
- Evaluation finished: First half of April
- Result press conference: Mid to late April
The schedule rarely shifts unless statewide events, public holidays, or a court order intervenes. Keeping an eye on circulars published at pue.karnataka.gov.in helps you avoid rumors.
Step‑by‑Step Guide to Checking Results Online
The most popular method is the official web portal karresults.nic.in, managed by the National Informatics Centre. It is light, mobile responsive, and tests have shown it serves about forty thousand requests per minute without crashing.
- Open any browser and type karresults.nic.in in the address bar
- On the home page click on “PUC II Results”
- Enter your registration number exactly as it appears on your hall ticket
- Fill the captcha code shown on the screen
- Hit the “Submit” button and wait a few seconds
- Your provisional marksheet appears; use the print icon or press Ctrl plus P to download a PDF copy
Students often worry about server overload. A small trick is to refresh the page only once every minute rather than multiple rapid clicks, which can result in a temporary IP block. According to NIC engineers interviewed by The Hindu on result day 2022, almost thirty percent of failed requests come from users refreshing the page more than ten times in a single minute.
Alternative Platforms When the Main Site Is Busy
If the central portal slows down you have three reliable backup options. The SuVidya mobile app available on both Android and iOS is an official release by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board. After installing, choose “PUC Results,” enter your registration number, and tap “Get Result.” The app fetches data from the same server but uses an application programming interface that handles traffic more gracefully.
The classic SMS format is another lifesaver. Compose a new message in the form
PUC space REGISTRATIONNUMBER
Send it to 56263. A reply arrives within a minute with subject wise marks and total. In 2023 BSNL reported handling over five lakh such queries within the first hour.
A growing number of students prefer DigiLocker because the digital document is treated at par with the original printout. Sign in with your Aadhaar linked mobile number, choose “Pre University Education, Karnataka” as the issuer, and pull the document titled “PUC II Marks Statement.” This copy carries an authentication QR code that universities across India accept.
Quick reference table
| Method | Internet needed | Document issued | Typical wait time |
|---|---|---|---|
| karresults.nic.in | Yes | Printable PDF | 1‑5 minutes |
| SuVidya app | Yes | In‑app view, shareable PDF | 2‑6 minutes |

What Appears on Your Provisional Marksheet
The online marksheet is provisional yet it closely matches the final hard copy provided by your college later. It contains personal and academic details that you should inspect carefully.
- Student name, father name, mother name
- Registration and roll numbers
- Subject codes, theory marks, practical marks, total marks
- Result status such as Pass, Pass with Distinction, or Fail
- Grand total out of 600 and percentage
- Internal assessment marks already included in subject totals
If you notice a spelling error or an incorrect subject code, contact your college principal within seven working days. Minor corrections often require a fee of two hundred rupees and a copy of the Aadhaar card, as stated in PUE circular No 12/2023.
Re‑evaluation, Retotalling, and Supplementary Exams
Sometimes the result is not what you expected. The board offers multiple routes to address grievances.
Re‑evaluation is a complete fresh read of your answer script by a senior examiner. The fee is 1670 rupees per paper. Applications open the very next day after results and stay live for seven days on pue.karnataka.gov.in. In 2023 about forty one thousand students applied, and twenty three percent saw an increase of at least four marks.
Retotalling costs only 530 rupees per paper and involves checking if marks were added correctly and if all answers were marked. This is suitable when you are confident about correct marking but suspect an arithmetic error.
Supplementary (also called repeat exams) happen in June. You can appear for one to all six subjects. Last year the pass rate in the supplementary round was 24.2 percent according to the official report tabled in the Karnataka Assembly.
