Exam Dates Confirmed
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board has scheduled the 2nd PUC supplementary examinations (Exam-2) from April 30 to May 13, 2026. These exams offer a crucial second chance for students who were unable to clear one or more subjects in the main board examinations.
Second Chance for Students
The supplementary examination system allows students to avoid losing an academic year by reappearing quickly after the main results. It also provides an opportunity for students to improve their scores, which can be important for higher education admissions.
Exam Timings and Coverage
The exams will generally be conducted in the morning session, covering all major streams—Science, Commerce, and Arts. Students are advised to carefully check the subject-wise timetable released by the board and arrive at their centres well in advance.
Measures for Smooth Conduct
Authorities have put in place strict guidelines to ensure fair examinations. Monitoring systems, invigilation protocols, and preventive steps around exam centres are being implemented to reduce malpractice and maintain transparency.
Academic Support Initiatives
Many colleges across Karnataka have started remedial and revision classes to help students prepare effectively. These sessions focus on key topics, previous question papers, and exam strategies to boost student performance.
Further Opportunities Ahead
Students who are unable to pass in this attempt will have another opportunity through Exam-3, expected later in the academic cycle. This multi-exam system is designed to provide flexibility and reduce academic pressure.
