The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has officially announced the 2nd PUC Result 2026. Along with the results, an important update regarding marks cards has been introduced, marking a shift towards digital education systems.
Official Marks Card Update (2026)
For the academic year 2025–26, students will receive both physical marks cards (hard copy) and digital marks cards. The digital version is available through the DigiLocker platform, which is now recognized as a valid and official document across India.
According to government plans, this year is considered a transition phase. Students are advised to collect their physical marks cards from their respective schools while also downloading and securing the digital version.
Future Changes from 2026–27
From the next academic year (2026–27 onwards), Karnataka is expected to move towards a digital-first marks card system. This means:
- Marks cards will primarily be issued via DigiLocker
- Digital marks cards will be treated as fully valid official documents
- Physical marks cards may be issued only in special cases
This initiative is part of India Digital India mission, aiming to reduce paper usage and improve accessibility and security of academic documents.
