Karnataka SSLC Result 2026 highlights: KSEAB Karnataka 10th results declared at karresults.nic.in, marksheet via DigiLocker, 94.1% students pass

A strong cohort of high achievers has emerged this year, with more than 50,000 students scoring above 95%, indicating a rise in top-end performance.
 

Among all subjects, Science has recorded one of the highest pass percentages this year, closely followed by English and Social Science.
 

The failure rate has dropped below the 10% mark this year, one of the lowest in recent times. Officials say early interventions and revision drives contributed to this trend.
 

Latest figures show that more than 2 lakh students have scored above 85%, placing them in the distinction category. This is a clear increase compared to last year’s numbers.
 

This year’s SSLC results mark the highest pass percentage in the last three years, signalling a recovery phase after earlier fluctuations in performance.
 

Preliminary data suggests a slight decline in dropout rates among Class 10 students. Increased awareness campaigns and school-level tracking have contributed to better retention.
 

Private schools continue to lead in pass percentage, but government schools have shown strong improvement this year.

Private schools: ~ 93–95% pass

Government schools: ~ 85–88% pass

Officials say targeted schemes and teacher training played a key role.
 

There has been a noticeable increase in high scorers this year. A larger pool of students has crossed the 90% mark compared to 2025, indicating a shift toward better overall academic consistency rather than just top-end performance.
 

Mathematics and Science have shown improved pass rates this year, while English remains one of the highest-scoring subjects.

Mathematics: ~88% pass

Science: ~91% pass

English: ~96% pass

Social Science: ~93% pass
 

A look at the last five years shows how performance has steadily improved:
2022 – 85.13%
2023 – 83.89%
2024 – 88.45%
2025 – 89.12%
2026 – 90%+ (provisional)
 

The overall pass percentage this year has crossed the 90% mark, making it one of the strongest performances in recent years. Officials attribute the jump to structured revision modules and closer tracking of student performance at the school level.
 

Officials have confirmed that grace marks have been awarded as per standard policy to help students clear marginal subjects. However, no extraordinary relaxation has been introduced this year.
 

Initial data suggests that districts like Dakshina Kannada and Udupi are among the top performers this year, continuing their strong academic track record.
 

The board is likely to announce the supplementary exam timetable later today. Students who did not clear one or more subjects will get another opportunity without losing an academic year.
 

Students who are not satisfied with their marks will be able to apply for revaluation shortly. The Karnataka School Examination and Evaluation Board is expected to release detailed guidelines and dates within the next few hours.
 

Several rural districts have shown remarkable improvement this year. Education officials note that targeted interventions, including additional classes and digital learning tools, have helped bridge the urban-rural gap.
 

Continuing the trend seen over the past few years, girls have outperformed boys in the SSLC 2026 results. The gap remains significant, reflecting higher pass percentages and more top scorers among female candidates.
 

The overall pass percentage in Karnataka SSLC 2026 has recorded a noticeable increase compared to last year. Officials say consistent academic monitoring and revised evaluation strategies have contributed to better performance across districts.
 

The Karnataka SSLC Result 2026 has revealed major district-wise performance trends across the state. Dakshina Kannada emerged as the top-performing district with an impressive 98.4% pass rate, securing the first position in Karnataka.
