**Students Securing 30% Marks Will Pass**
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has revised its passing standards, implementing modified criteria that lower the minimum marks required to pass. Students must now secure at least 30 marks in each subject, and an aggregate of 33% marks overall to pass. Previously, students were required to secure a minimum of 35% marks; this represents a significant relaxation in the evaluation policy.
**Students Who Fail Can Appear for Supplementary Exams**
Students who fail in the Karnataka PUC 2nd exams are eligible to appear for supplementary examinations. The KSEAB will release information regarding this in the evening, following the announcement of the results. This announcement will include the schedule for the supplementary (divisional) exams, the re-evaluation process, and details on how to apply for photocopies of answer scripts. In fact, students who were unable to secure the minimum marks in the PSU 2nd results will be given another opportunity to improve their scores through the upcoming divisional examinations, thereby ensuring that they do not lose an academic year.
