Kerala Plus Two SAY Result 2026: DHSE Class 12 Improvement Marks, Websites, and Pass Rules

The Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Kerala, is declaring the Higher Secondary Education (HSE) Class 12 Save A Year (SAY) and Improvement Examination Results 2026. Thousands of students who appeared for the supplementary and score improvement exams between June 29 and July 3, 2026, can now check their upgraded marks online.

The SAY/Improvement exams provide students with an immediate second chance to either clear failed subjects or improve their grades for higher education admissions in the current academic session.

Key Highlights & Exam Statistics at a Glance

Pass Criteria and Grading Scheme

To pass a subject in the Kerala Plus Two SAY exams, students must meet two specific thresholds:

1. Terminal Examination (TE) Minimum: Students must secure at least 30% marks separately in the written terminal examination component.

2. Aggregate Grade Threshold: An overall aggregate score of 30% or higher (a minimum grade of D+) across Continuous Evaluation (CE), Practical Evaluation (PE), and Terminal Evaluation (TE) combined is required.

Students who secure D or E grades (below 30%) are marked as “Need Improvement” and must reappear in future attempt cycles to clear the subject.

Kerala Plus Two Toppers Names and Official Merit Policy

A common question among students and parents is where to find the official Kerala Plus Two Toppers List.

Official Board Policy: The Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Kerala, does not release an official individual merit list or state topper names. This policy was intentionally introduced to prevent unhealthy competition, academic comparisons, and unnecessary psychological stress among teenagers.

Instead of publishing rank-holders or individual toppers’ names, the board highlights broader performance metrics:

• Full Marks Scorers: In the regular board examination, 60 students achieved a flawless score of 1200 out of 1200 marks, with 50 of those high achievers being girls.

• All A+ Performers: A total of 30,561 students secured a perfect ‘A+’ grade across all subjects statewide.

• Top District: Idukki recorded the highest pass percentage among all districts at 84.64%.

For the SAY and Improvement examinations, the board similarly issues school-wise performance summaries and individual upgraded marksheets rather than public ranking charts.

Official Websites to Check Results

If the primary result portal experiences heavy web traffic, students can access their scorecards through any of the following alternative portals:

• results.kite.kerala.gov.in

• dhsekerala.gov.in
