Karnataka 2nd PUC Result 2025: Examination process not complete; two additional free chances for students
BENGALURU: The examination process is not yet complete. There will be two additional opportunities for students to take the exams, and these will be provided free of charge. Minister of School Education and Literacy, Madhu Bangarappa, stated on Tuesday that students, regardless of whether they have passed or not, will be allowed to retake the exams. He further mentioned that the Common Entrance Test (CET) will consider the third examination as well.
He also pointed out that in the past, re-examinations were charged a fee ranging from Rs 270 to Rs 400. However, for this year, there will be no fees for the second and third exams, and students can write these exams without any cost.
