1 Introduction: A Crucial Academic Milestone
The Karnataka SSLC Exam 2 Result 2025 marks a pivotal moment for over 150,000 Class 10 students across the state who sought redemption through the supplementary examinations. Conducted by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), these exams offered a critical second chance to students who either failed to clear the main examination or aimed to enhance their scores for better academic prospects. With the main SSLC 2025 exam recording a pass percentage of just 62.34% 1, Exam 2 became the beacon of hope for nearly 40% of the student cohort.
This year’s supplementary pathway gained unprecedented importance due to the historically low pass percentage in the main exams, creating immense pressure on KSEAB to conduct fair and efficient evaluations. The timely declaration of results on June 13, 2025 demonstrates the board’s commitment to helping students progress academically without losing a full year. For thousands, this result determines their eligibility for Pre-University Courses (PUC), diploma programs, and vocational training pathways.

The transparency of evaluation processes remains KSEAB’s priority:
- Accessing Answer Keys: The board published Exam 2 answer keys at kseab.karnataka.gov.in under “Latest News” section 5, enabling students to estimate scores before results
- Grading System: Karnataka follows a 7-point grading structure:

6.1 Percentage Calculation Methodology
To compute your overall percentage:
- Sum total marks obtained across all subjects
- Divide by maximum marks (typically 625 or 675 depending on subjects)
- Multiply by 100
Example: A student scoring 485 out of 625 would calculate:
(485 ÷ 625) × 100 = 77.6% (B+ Grade)
7 Comparative Analysis: Exam 1 vs. Exam 2 Performance Trends
The significant 38% gap between the main exam (62.34%) and supplementary exam pass rates warrants analysis:
- Root Causes: Inadequate preparation time, pandemic-related learning gaps, and psychological exam pressure
