Karnataka 2nd PUC Result 2026 Date: The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), which was scheduled to declare the Second PUC Examination 1 results today, has postponed the release. The results will now be announced on April 9, The Indian Express reported, quoting KSEAB chairman Prakash GT Nittali. However, the exact time of declaration is yet to be finalised.
The delay in the result announcement is due to the Model Code of Conduct in force for by-elections in Bagalkot and Davangere. Officials involved in the examination process have been deployed for election duties, leading to the postponement.
The Karnataka 2nd PUC examinations were conducted from February 18 to March 17 across 1,217 centres in the state.
