The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has announced the Karnataka Board 2nd PUC result for 2024. This year’s results showcase an increase in pass percentage attributed to a revised question paper pattern. Students can access their results on the official websites – karresults.nic.in.
Revised Question Paper Pattern: The pass percentage surge is credited to the implementation of an 80-20 question paper pattern, consisting of 80 marks for theory and 20 marks for internal assessment.

This pattern applies not only to science subjects but also to non-science subjects like mathematics and social science, marking a departure from previous years.
