Yes, you can reattempt your 2nd PUC (Pre-University Course) exam next year in Karnataka if you have taken a drop for NEET 2026 and wish to improve your marks, especially in theory papers. Repeating the board exams is a common choice for aspirants who aim for better scores to meet eligibility requirements or boost NEET ranks.

Regarding internal assessments (practicals, project work, and assignments), Karnataka PU Board generally allows students to retain their previously scored internal marks when re-attempting 2nd PUC theory exams. If your internal marks are good, you do NOT have to appear for the internal assessments again; your earlier scores are carried forward to the next attempt. Only students who have failed to secure passing marks or did not complete their internal work may need to redo their internals, and this is usually communicated by the college or PU board.

The usual process involves applying as a repeat or private candidate for the next PUC exam cycle through your PU college or the official Karnataka Board portal. Keep an eye on official notifications for deadlines and the mode of application.

It’s highly recommended to confirm these details directly with your college’s exam cell or the Karnataka PU Board, as individual colleges may have slight variations in policy or require additional documentation.

In summary, Karnataka PU Board lets you reattempt your 2nd PUC theory exams next year while carrying forward good internal marks, making it easier for NEET aspirants who are repeating and want to improve just the board exam scores.

Improving your Kerala Board 12th marks after passing is generally not possible through the normal re-examination process, as the board does not commonly provide an official "improvement exam" for the plus two standard like some other state boards. Typically, the Kerala State Education Board allows students to apply for re-evaluation or scrutiny of their answer scripts if they believe there might be an error in marking. Re-evaluation can potentially help increase marks, but the chances of increasing your overall percentage significantly (from 72% to 75%) solely via rechecking are limited as it depends on the error margin in evaluation.

The Kerala Board’s official website and recent updates do not mention a formal improvement exam for bettering marks after passing. However, it is recommended to contact your school or the Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan (the Kerala Board examination authority) to confirm if any special provisions exist or if supplementary exams can be taken for improvement, though supplementary exams are usually intended for failing subjects rather than improving passing marks.

If you want to improve your percentage, a common practice students follow is enrolling in professional or degree courses that accept improvement marks or give weightage to semester exam performances. Alternatively, pursuing higher education with good scores can overshadow small differences in board percentages.

Another indirect option is to pursue certifications, entrance exams, and coursework that add value beyond your board marks, which can boost academic profiles.

In summary, Kerala Board 12th students cannot officially improve their marks through a formal improvement exam after passing. Re-evaluation is an option but with limited scope for large increases. Checking directly with Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan or your school is essential for clarity on the latest policies.

With your 288 marks getting into government colleges is really hard because they usually read higher cutoff if you want to grab the seat there you can look for private institution or through the management quota but the fees will be higher than the government colleges based on your choice you can choose your particular college

if you got an RT in your improvement exam, you are not eligible for DTU through JAC Delhi counselling, even if your other marks improved.actually RT means you have failed that subject's theory paper and JAC Delhi requires candidates to pass all necessary subjects.

you are  ineligible, as you have not met the basic passing requirement.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

With 464 marks in NEET 2025 under the OBC category, you are above the qualifying cutoff and eligible for counselling.

But getting an MBBS seat in a government college (http://MBBS%20seat%20in%20a%20government%20college) is difficult, as OBC cutoff for government MBBS is usually around 550–590 marks in state quota and even higher (590+) in all India quota.

With your score, chances for MBBS in government college are very low.

However, you can still try through your state counselling and also explore options like BDS or AYUSH courses in government colleges where cutoffs are lower.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you can fill the CAT form even if you currently have a backlog. CAT eligibility requires you to be in your final year of graduation or already graduated backlogs don’t stop you from applying.

While filling the form:

• Enter the aggregate percentage/CGPA of marks you have obtained up to the latest semester for which results are declared (in your case till 4th semester).

• There will be an option to mention that you have a backlog.

• If you clear the backlog later, you’ll just need to show the updated marks during admission.

Hey Arpitha:)

Thanks for reaching out!
