The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) is gearing up to announce the much-anticipated results of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations for 2025 on May 2 at 11:30 AM. This announcement marks a pivotal moment for over 896,000 students across the state, who are eagerly awaiting the outcome of their exams.
The SSLC exams were conducted from March 21 to April 4, 2025, across 2,818 centers in Karnataka. This year, the board reported a total of 896,447 candidates who participated in the examinations, including 461,563 boys and 434,884 girls. To ensure a smooth evaluation process, KSEAB deployed approximately 65,000 assessors across 240 evaluation centers.
Madhu Bangarappa, the Karnataka Minister for School Education and Literacy, will officially declare the results at the KSEAB headquarters in Bengaluru. During the announcement, he is expected to provide insights into the overall performance trends of the students, which will be crucial for understanding this year’s results.
Last year, the overall pass percentage for the SSLC examinations was 73.40%, reflecting a decline from previous years. In 2024, Udupi district emerged as the top performer with a pass rate of 94%, while Yadagiri recorded the lowest at 50.59%. This year, expectations are high as students hope to improve upon these figures.
Students will be able to access their results online through the official KSEAB website, karresults.nic.in, and kseab.karnataka.gov.in, starting at 12:30 PM on May 2. To check their scores, students will need to enter their registration number and date of birth. Schools will also receive the result data and are expected to assist students in navigating their next steps, including options for further studies.
For students seeking re-evaluation or photocopies of their answer scripts, KSEAB has outlined provisions, with detailed guidelines to be shared post-results. The board encourages students and parents to rely on official updates to avoid misinformation.
As the results draw near, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation among students, parents, and educators alike. Many students are keenly aware that these results will play a significant role in determining their academic futures, influencing their choices for higher education and career paths.
In 2024, the SSLC results were announced on May 9, and the board has made efforts to enhance the normalization process this year due to the previous year's low pass percentage. The qualifying marks were adjusted, with the passing marks for each subject reduced from 35% to 25% to accommodate more students.
With the countdown to the results now underway, students are advised to keep their admit cards handy for a smooth results-checking experience. This year’s SSLC results are particularly significant as they represent the culmination of years of hard work and dedication by the students.
As the KSEAB prepares for the official announcement, the focus remains on ensuring transparency and fairness in the evaluation process, reinforcing the importance of education in shaping the future of Karnataka’s youth.
The Karnataka SSLC exams are not just a test of academic knowledge; they serve as a critical juncture in a student's educational journey. The results will determine eligibility for various post-secondary educational opportunities, including pre-university courses (PUC) and vocational training.
In preparation for the results, students are encouraged to explore their options for further studies and consider applying for supplementary exams if they do not achieve the desired scores. The supplementary exams are expected to be held in June or July 2025, providing another opportunity for students to improve their results.
In summary, the KSEAB's announcement of the SSLC results on May 2 is a momentous occasion for students, parents, and educators throughout Karnataka. As the clock ticks down to the announcement, the excitement and anxiety are palpable, reflecting the significant impact these results will have on the lives of nearly 900,000 students.
For those awaiting their results, the message is clear: stay tuned to the official KSEAB websites for the latest updates and ensure that you are prepared for the next steps in your educational journey.
