With evaluation processes reportedly nearing completion, the announcement of results is just around the corner.
Key Dates and How to Access Your Results
While the exact date and time for the Kerala Plus Two results have been officially confirmed as May 22, 2025, at 3:00 PM, students should keep a close watch on official announcements from the DHSE. The results will be made available through a press conference, followed by online access for students.
To check their results online, students will need their registration number and date of birth. The official websites to bookmark for accessing the results are:

Beyond the official websites, students can also access their results through alternative methods such as:

It is highly recommended that students keep their admit cards handy to ensure they have the correct login credentials readily available, avoiding any last-minute rush or complications.
Understanding the Grading System and What’s Next
The Kerala Board follows a 9-point grading system for its examinations. This system assigns grades from A+ (Outstanding) to E (Improvement Required) based on specific percentage ranges. To qualify for higher education, students generally need to secure a minimum of a D+ grade (30-39% marks) in each subject, combining both continuous evaluation and written test scores.
Once the results are declared, the online mark sheet will be provisional. Students will need to collect their original mark sheets and other relevant documents from their respective schools.
For students who may not achieve the desired results, the DHSE Kerala provides options for revaluation, scrutiny, and supplementary examinations. Information regarding the application windows and dates for these processes will be announced shortly after the main results. Supplementary exams typically take place in July, offering students a chance to improve their scores or clear subjects they may have failed.
Previous Year Trends and Expectations
Analyzing past trends offers some insight into what to expect this year. In 2024, the Kerala Plus Two results were declared on May 9, with an overall pass percentage of 78.69%. A total of 4,41,120 students appeared, and 2,94,888 passed. Stream-wise, Science generally records higher pass percentages, followed by Commerce and then Humanities. For example, in 2024, the pass percentage for Science was 84.84%, Humanities was 67.09%, and Commerce was 76.11%. In 2023, the overall pass percentage stood at 82.95%, with 3,12,005 out of 3,76,135 students passing the exam.
The Kerala DHSE typically does not announce a state-wise toppers’ list, focusing instead on overall performance and grade distributions.
As the declaration day approaches, a palpable mix of excitement and anxiety can be felt among students, parents, and educators across the state. The Kerala Class 12th results are a significant determinant for students’ future academic paths, opening doors to higher education and various professional courses. We extend our best wishes to all the students awaiting their results.
