Karnataka SSLC Exam 3 results are published by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) on karresults.nic.in, the same site used for Exam 1 and Exam 2. In 2025, Exam 3 was held in July and its result was posted there, with notices on kseab.karnataka.gov.in. To check, you need your SSLC registration number and, where the page asks, your date of birth.
Exam 3 is the last of the three SSLC exams that KSEAB runs in a year. It is meant for students who did not pass the earlier exams or who want to try to improve their marks.
How the three exams work
From the 2023-24 session, KSEAB replaced the old supplementary exam with a system of up to three SSLC exams a year:
| Exam | Who takes it |
|---|---|
| Exam 1 | All regular students; the main annual exam |
| Exam 2 | Students who did not pass Exam 1, or who want to improve marks |
| Exam 3 | Students who still need to pass, or want another try to improve |
Reports during 2025-26 said the state was considering two main exams in place of three. In the sources we checked, KSEAB had not confirmed a final change, so check the latest circular on kseab.karnataka.gov.in for your year. The board's notice also explains how your final marks are counted if you appear more than once.
How to check Karnataka SSLC Exam 3 results
- Open karresults.nic.in.
- Click the SSLC result link for the exam you took: Exam 1, Exam 2 or Exam 3.
- Enter your registration number exactly as on your hall ticket.
- Enter your date of birth if asked, and the captcha.
- Submit and check your marks. Download or print the page.
The online result is provisional. Your school receives the marks card from the board later.
What to check on the result
- Your name and registration number
- Marks in each subject, including internal assessment where shown
- Total marks and result status: pass or not passed
- For Exam 2 or Exam 3, whether the result reflects only the subjects you took again
If anything looks wrong, speak to your school headmaster first. Spelling and personal detail errors are corrected through the school.
Save the result as a PDF on the day it is published. You may need it for PUC or diploma admission before the printed marks card reaches your school.
Photocopy, retotalling and revaluation
After every SSLC result, KSEAB issues a circular on getting a photocopy of your answer script, retotalling and revaluation. For 2025 Exam 3, the board issued such a circular too. The steps usually are:
- Read the KSEAB circular for dates and fees per subject.
- Apply online for a scanned copy of your answer script in the subjects you want to check.
- Look through the copy for unmarked answers or totalling mistakes.
- If needed, apply for retotalling or revaluation within the window, paying the fee given in the circular.
- Check karresults.nic.in or the KSEAB site for the revaluation result.
The windows are short, often a few days, so apply quickly after the result.
If you did not pass
- After Exam 1: register for Exam 2 through your school in the window KSEAB announces.
- After Exam 2: register for Exam 3 in the same way.
- After Exam 3: you can appear again in the next year's exam as a repeater. Your school or the block education office can tell you how to register.
Not passing the SSLC in one attempt is not the end. Many students clear it in Exam 2 or Exam 3 and move on to PUC, diploma or ITI courses in the same year, depending on admission timelines.
Admission after Exam 3
Exam 3 results come later in the year than Exam 1, when PUC and diploma admissions may already be under way. If you are waiting for Exam 3:
- Ask the PU college or polytechnic you want whether it can hold a seat or accept a provisional admission until the result.
- Keep your Exam 1 or Exam 2 marks printout ready, along with the Exam 3 hall ticket, to show that a result is pending.
- Once the result is out, download it at once and take it to the college; seats left after earlier rounds can fill quickly.
- For government ITI admissions, watch the state's admission portal for any later round meant for such students.
Rules on late admission differ between colleges and departments, so confirm with the institution rather than assuming a seat will wait.
Common problems and fixes
Forgot registration number
It is printed on your SSLC hall ticket. If you lost it, your school has the number.
Site not loading on result day
Wait and try again later, or use a different browser. Avoid unknown sites that ask for your details; use only karresults.nic.in.
Marks seem too low in one subject
Ask for the photocopy of your answer script first. Revaluation is worth applying for only if you see answers that were not marked or were marked wrongly.
Result page shows a different exam
karresults.nic.in hosts several results at once, including PUC and other exams. Make sure you click the SSLC link for the right exam number and year before entering your details.
