KSEAB is the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board, the official state government body that conducts the SSLC (Class 10) and 2nd PUC (Class 12) exams and publishes their results. Its official website is kseab.karnataka.gov.in, and results are released on the government result host karresults.nic.in and in DigiLocker. Use only these official addresses, enter your registration number and hall-ticket details, and ignore any site that charges a fee or promises an ‘instant’ result.
What KSEAB is
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board, known as KSEAB, is the government board responsible for the state’s major school public examinations. It conducts the SSLC examination for Class 10 students and the 2nd PUC examination for Class 12 students, and it publishes the results, time-tables and related notifications for those exams.
If the name is new to you, that is because the board was renamed. For many years Class 10 exams were handled by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB), and Class 12 (PUC) exams by the Department of Pre-University Education (PUE). These functions now sit under the single renamed body, KSEAB. Older news articles, school notices and bookmarks may still say KSEEB or PUE, so do not be confused if you see those names alongside KSEAB.
The official KSEAB portal and result hosts
There is one official home for the board online, and it is important to learn it by heart so you are never fooled by a copycat. The official portal is kseab.karnataka.gov.in. Notice that it ends in karnataka.gov.in, which is a Karnataka government web address. Government sites in India use .gov.in or .nic.in endings, and this is one of the clearest signals that a site is genuine.
When results are declared, the board also publishes them through the National Informatics Centre result host at karresults.nic.in. Around a result date this host often carries the heaviest traffic, so it may be slow for a short while. If a page does not load on the first try, wait a little and refresh rather than searching for an alternative site, because searching in a hurry is exactly how students end up on fake pages. Students can also access the official digital scorecard through DigiLocker, the Government of India’s secure document service, which many Karnataka results are pushed to. These are the addresses to trust; everything else should be treated with caution, no matter how official it looks.
It helps to save the official portal as a bookmark well before results are due, so that on the day itself you open it from your own saved link instead of searching for it. A trusted bookmark removes most of the risk, because you never have to guess which search result is the real one.
How to check your SSLC or 2nd PUC result safely
The process is the same in spirit for both the SSLC (Class 10) and 2nd PUC (Class 12) results. Keep your hall ticket beside you, because it carries the exact details the portal will ask for.
- Type the address yourself. Open your browser and type kseab.karnataka.gov.in or karresults.nic.in directly into the address bar. Do not click a link forwarded in WhatsApp, SMS or social media, because such links are the most common way people are sent to fake sites.
- Find the correct result link. On the portal, look for the official result link that names your exam and year, for example the SSLC examination result or the 2nd PUC result for the relevant year.
- Enter your details. Type your registration number or roll number, and the other details asked for, such as your date of birth, exactly as printed on your hall ticket.
- View and save. Your result will appear on screen. Save a copy or take a screenshot, and note the subject marks for your own reference.
As of 2026, the board publishes exam dates, result dates and time-tables on the official portal. Because these change every year, this guide does not quote a specific date. Always check the official portal for the current date rather than trusting a date you saw in a message or on an unofficial site.
The scam problem around result season
Every result season, a wave of fake websites, apps and messages appears, designed to look official and to profit from anxious students and parents. Being aware of the common tricks is the best protection.
The most frequent trap is the ‘instant result’ or ‘early result’ site that claims it can show your marks before the official declaration, or faster than the government server. No private site has your result before the board releases it. Another common trap is the ‘pay to see your result’ or ‘download marks card’ scam, where a site asks for a small fee, a ‘premium’ link purchase or a payment to ‘unlock’ your scorecard. Checking your result on the official portal is always free, so any demand for money is a clear warning sign.
Some fake pages go further and ask for sensitive information such as your password, Aadhaar number, bank details or a one-time password (OTP). No genuine result check needs these. A real result page only asks for your registration or roll number and the details printed on your hall ticket, never a password or an OTP. If a page asks for them, close it immediately. Scammers also set up lookalike web addresses that are close to the real one but slightly misspelled, use an extra word, or end in something other than a government domain. Fake mobile apps that claim to show Karnataka results are another trap, especially ones that demand payment or ask for broad permissions on your phone. Always double-check the address and the source before trusting a page or app.
Parents and guardians are often the ones who go looking for the result, and are a common target for these scams. If you are checking on behalf of a student, the same rules apply: type the official address yourself, never pay to view a result, and never share personal or banking details on a result page. Teach younger students the same habits so they are not caught out next year.
Official versus fake: how to tell the difference
| Signal | Official KSEAB result | Likely fake or scam |
|---|---|---|
| Web address | Ends in karnataka.gov.in or nic.in | Random domain, misspelled name, or non-government ending |
| Cost to view result | Free | Asks for a fee or payment to ‘unlock’ |
| Timing claim | Follows the board’s declared date | Promises an ‘instant’ or early result |
| Information requested | Registration number and hall-ticket details | Asks for password, Aadhaar, bank details or OTP |
| How you reached it | You typed the address yourself | A link forwarded in SMS, WhatsApp or social media |
Time-tables, marks cards and corrections
KSEAB publishes exam time-tables on the official portal ahead of each examination cycle. As with result dates, treat only the portal’s own schedule as final, and confirm it there rather than relying on a screenshot circulating online.
The result you view online is a provisional statement meant for quick reference. Your original marks card is the official printed document, and it is issued through your school or college. After results are declared, contact your institution to collect it. A printout from an unofficial ‘download marks card’ website is not a valid document and should not be relied upon for admissions or other formal purposes.
If you believe there is an error in your marks, or you want to apply for revaluation, retotalling or a supplementary or second-chance exam, follow the official process announced on the KSEAB portal and through your school. These applications and their deadlines are published officially; do not route them through any third-party site that offers to ‘fix’ or ‘improve’ your result for a fee.
If you have been targeted by a scam
If you have paid money to a fake result site, shared sensitive details, or suspect online fraud, act quickly. In India you can call the national cyber-crime helpline on 1930 and file a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in. If money has left your bank account, also inform your bank at once so they can try to freeze the transaction. Keep screenshots of the website, messages and any payment details, as these help with the complaint.
