FAQs

Q1. What are the minimum marks required to pass the first and second-year PUC examinations?
Answer: A minimum of 30 marks in each subject and an aggregate of 35% of the total marks is required for you to pass the examination. If a student studies every day and prepares him/her well for the examination, it is possible to pass the examination with flying colors. Aakash has numerous courses that can help the students prepare well for the SSLC and 2nd PUC examinations.

Q2. What is the minimum attendance necessary to appear for the SSLC and 2nd PUC examination? 
Answer: A minimum of 75% of attendance of the total classes conducted in individual subjects is compulsory and no one has the power to condone the shortage of attendance. Therefore students are encouraged to attend the class regularly and not miss out on any. Attending the class will also help the students to cover the portions taught by the teachers in class. 

Q3. When are the results for the Karnataka SSLC examination being declared?
Answer: The Karnataka state board will release the results for the class 10 SSLC final examination results after the exams are conducted in 2025. The schedule has not been released yet. 

Q4. What should students who have a shortage of attendance do to appear for subsequent examinations? 
Answer: Students who have a shortage of attendance will not be permitted to write exams for the academic year. However, if they wish to write the exam, they should get readmitted to the concerned class in the subsequent year and maintain a 75% of attendance.

Q5. When is the Karnataka 2nd PUC examination?
Answer: Karnataka's Department of Pre-University Education is yet to publish the Karnataka 2nd PUC Exam Date 2025 on their official website pue.kar.nic.in.
