Kerala Plus Two Result 2026 — Key Highlights
The overall pass percentage of 77.97% is slightly better than last year’s 77.81% but still below the levels seen in 2022 and 2023. Girls outperformed boys across all streams for another consecutive year. 30,561 students secured A+ in all subjects — a strong showing from Kerala’s top performers.
Idukki district emerged as the top performing district in DHSE Kerala Plus Two Result 2026 with the highest overall pass percentage. The board has not released a rank wise topper list as Kerala follows a grading system rather than ranking individual students.
Kerala Plus Two Result 2026 — Year Wise Pass Percentage
Understanding where 2026 stands helps put the result in perspective:
| Year | Pass Percentage | Notable |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 77.97% | Idukki top district, 30,561 full A+ |
| 2025 | 77.81% | Marginal dip from 2024 |
| 2024 | 78.69% | Ernakulam top district |
| 2023 | 82.95% | Significant drop from pandemic years |
| 2022 | 83.87% | Post pandemic normalization |
| 2021 | 87.94% | Pandemic year — inflated |
The pass percentage has been hovering in the 77% to 79% range since 2024 — a clear post-pandemic stabilization. Students and parents should understand this context — a 77.97% pass percentage in 2026 is not a poor result. It reflects the board returning to realistic evaluation standards after the pandemic era inflation.

Kerala Plus Two Result 2026 — SAY Exam Details
Students who did not pass or want to improve marks have two options — SAY exam and answer sheet photocopy.
SAY Exam Registration — June 1 to June 3, 2026
Students who failed in one or more subjects can register for the Kerala Plus Two SAY — Save a Year — supplementary exam. Registration opens June 1 and closes June 3, 2026. Do not miss this window — late registrations are not accepted.
SAY Exam Date — June 29, 2026
The supplementary exam is scheduled for June 29, 2026. Students who register and clear the SAY exam pass their class 12 without losing the academic year. This is not a second chance exam only for failed students — students who passed but want to improve marks in specific subjects can also appear.
Answer Sheet Photocopy — Apply June 1 to June 3, 2026
If you feel your marks are lower than expected the first step is to get a photocopy of your answer sheet. The link to apply for photocopy of evaluated answer sheet opens on June 1 and closes June 3, 2026. After June 3 the link is permanently closed.
Getting the photocopy lets you see exactly how each answer was marked. If you find genuine unevaluated answers or wrong totalling you can apply for revaluation based on what you see. Applying for revaluation without reviewing the photocopy first is not the smartest move — marks can go up, stay the same or in rare cases decrease.
