Karnataka's Class 12 or 2nd PUC exam results for over 7.10 lakh students are pending release by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB). The initial expected date of April 7, 2026, requires final approval from the Election Commission.

Important Dates

Critical Update: The anticipated result release date of April 7, 2026, is pending formal approval from the Election Commission. KSEAB will conduct a press conference to announce the final, confirmed date.
