1st PUC Result 2026 – Quick Overview
The Karnataka 1st PUC (Pre-University Course, Class 11) examination is conducted annually by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), which operates under the Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE). This board is responsible for administering, evaluating, and declaring results for lakhs of students across Karnataka every year.
For the academic year 2025–26, the 1st PUC theory examinations were held from February 28 to March 17, 2026, covering all major streams — Science, Arts, and Commerce. Practical examinations were held between February 2 and 18, 2026.
Important Note on Result Access
Unlike previous years, the 2026 results are decentralised. There is no single central portal for all districts. Students in most districts should contact their school or college directly. An online provisional link on result.proed.in has been activated for Dakshina Kannada District only.

How to Check Your 1st PUC Result 2026 (Step-by-Step)
There are three official ways to access your Karnataka 1st PUC Result 2026. Choose the one that works best for you:
Method 1: Online (Dakshina Kannada District Only)
Open your browser and visit the official website: result.proed.in
Look for the “1st PUC Result 2026” link on the homepage and click on it.
Enter your SAT/Vmithra Registration Number and your Date of Birth in the login fields.
Click the “Submit” or “View Result” button.
Your result will appear on screen. Download the PDF and save a copy for future reference.
Take a printout of the provisional marksheet. Collect your original marksheet from your college once it is distributed.
Method 2: Via SMS
If you cannot access the internet, use the SMS service. Type the message in the following format and send it to 56263:
SMS Format
KAR11<REGISTRATION NUMBER> → Send to 56263 Example: KAR11123456789 → Send to 56263
Method 3: Visit Your College Directly
For students in districts other than Dakshina Kannada, results are distributed at the college level. Visit your school’s administration office with your identity proof and collect your result in person. Your college will display the results on its notice board or its own official website.
Passing Marks & New Criteria (2026 Update)
This year, KSEAB has made a notable change to the minimum passing criteria. The threshold has been reduced from 35% to 33% — a move aimed at reducing examination stress and bringing Karnataka’s standards in line with many other state boards.
Theory Paper
26
Out of 80 marks (33%)
Internal / Practical
7
Out of 20 marks (33%)
Total Per Subject
33
Out of 100 marks (33%)
Important
Students must pass separately in both the theory and practical/internal components. Scoring high in one cannot compensate for failing the other. You must clear both components individually to be declared “pass” in that subject.
What Happens If You Fail One or More Subjects?
- If you fail in one subject, you may be eligible for the compartment (supplementary) examination.
- If you fail in two or more subjects, you will need to repeat the full examination.
- Revaluation is available for students unsatisfied with their marks.
Details Mentioned on Your 1st PUC Marksheet
Once your result is declared, your provisional marksheet — available for download or from your college — will contain the following information:
- Student’s full name
- SAT/Vmithra Registration Number
- Date of Birth
- College name and code
- District and taluk
- Subject-wise marks (theory and practical separately)
- Total marks obtained
- Result status: Pass / Fail / Compartment
- Grade or percentage (if applicable)
Verify Your Details
Carefully check your name, registration number, and marks for errors. If you spot any discrepancy, immediately contact your college or the nearest KSEAB regional office to get it corrected before the official marksheet is printed.
What to Do After Checking Your Result
Your 1st PUC result directly determines whether you advance to 2nd PUC (Class 12). Here is a practical action plan based on your outcome:
If You Have Passed
- Collect your original marksheet from your college once distributed.
- Confirm your admission to 2nd PUC in the same stream — most colleges auto-promote students.
- Begin preparing for your 2nd PUC board exams, which carry higher weightage for university admissions and entrance tests like KCET, NEET, JEE, and CUET.
- If you are not satisfied with your marks, apply for revaluation within the prescribed window.
If You Have Failed or Got Compartment
- Do not panic. The supplementary examination provides a second chance to clear failing subjects.
- Register for the KSEAB 1st PUC Supplementary Exam (dates to be announced).
- Identify weak subjects and prepare a focused study plan.
- Consult your subject teacher or a tutor for guidance on improving your scores.
Even if you score just enough to pass, use the summer before 2nd PUC to strengthen your fundamentals. Your 2nd PUC results are what matter for college admissions, entrance exams, and scholarships. A strong comeback in 2nd year is absolutely possible.
Revaluation & Supplementary Examination
KSEAB offers two important options for students who want to challenge or improve their result.
Revaluation (Re-checking of Answer Scripts)
Students who believe their marks are lower than expected can apply for revaluation of their answer scripts by paying a nominal fee prescribed by KSEAB. Typically, revaluation results are announced within two to three weeks of the application deadline.
Supplementary (Compartment) Examination
The board conducts a supplementary exam for students who fail in one subject or wish to improve their grades. The date for the 1st PUC supplementary exam 2026 is yet to be officially announced — students should check the KSEAB website regularly for updates.
Where to Apply
Applications for both revaluation and supplementary exams are processed through your respective college. You cannot apply directly through the board’s website as an individual student.
