2nd PUC marks card: how to download it or get a duplicate
The 2nd PUC marks card is the Class 12 mark statement for Karnataka's Pre-University Course, issued through the state board and handed out by your PU college. You can view and print your marks from the official result page with your register number, but the signed original comes from the college. If it is lost, request a duplicate through your college or the board.
Key takeaways
- This page is about the Karnataka Pre-University Course marks card, not the vehicle pollution certificate.
- The online result is a quick view; the original marks card is the document colleges and employers ask for.
- Your register number, exam year and stream are the details every request needs.
- A duplicate marks card is requested through your PU college or the board; confirm the current fee and form there.
- Spot a spelling or date error early and ask your college to raise a correction with the board.

What is a 2nd PUC marks card?
A 2nd PUC marks card is the official statement of marks for the final year of Karnataka’s two-year Pre-University Course, the stage that matches Class 12. It lists your subjects, the marks in each, your total and your result. Degree colleges, entrance counselling and employers ask for it, so it is a document you keep for life.
Why a transport site covers it
“PUC” also means Pollution Under Control on vehicles, so many people searching for a marks card land on vehicle pages. We explain both meanings on our page about the 2nd PUC full form; this page sticks to the education document.
First PUC and second PUC cards
You get a card after each year. The 1st PUC card covers Class 11. The 2nd PUC card, from the state-level public exam, is the one asked for at admissions.
Who issues the 2nd PUC marks card?
The marks card comes from Karnataka’s state examination board, KSEAB, for students of PU colleges affiliated to it. The Department of Pre-University Education looks after the colleges themselves. In practice, students rarely deal with the board directly: the PU college collects the printed cards and hands them over.
Your PU college is the link
The college office keeps your register number, admission file and batch details. Most questions about a missing, wrong or late card are answered fastest there.
When you deal with the board
Former students who live far away, or whose college has closed, may need to contact the board. Its website lists the current contacts.
What details are printed on a PUC marks card?
A PUC marks card carries your identity, your exam and your result. Before you leave the college counter, read every line against your school records. A wrong letter in your name or a wrong date of birth causes trouble later on admission forms, passport papers and job checks, so it is worth a careful look.
Identity details
- Your full name, as in your Class 10 records
- Your register number for that exam
- Name of your PU college
Exam and result details
- Stream and subject combination, for example PCMB or CEBA
- Marks in each subject, the total and the result
- Month and year of the examination
How does a 2nd PUC marks card download work?
A 2nd PUC marks card download usually means opening the official result page after results are announced, entering your register number and saving or printing the marks shown. That gives you your marks within minutes. It is not the signed marks card; the original arrives later through your college.
What you need
Keep your register number ready, along with any other detail the result page asks for, such as the subject combination. Use only the link published on the board’s website, because copy sites can show old or wrong data.
Saving the result page
Print the page or save it as a PDF, then keep the file on your phone and in an email to yourself. Note the date you saved it.
Is the online result the same as a 2nd PUC marks card download?
Not quite. The online result is an early view of your marks, while the original 2nd PUC marks card is the document the board prints and signs. The table below sets out how the two differ, so you know which one an office is asking for.
| Point | Online result printout | Original marks card |
|---|---|---|
| When you get it | On result day | Weeks later, through the college |
| What you need | Register number | Collect from college office |
| Signed or sealed | No | Yes |
| Good for | Provisional admission, planning | Final admission, jobs, visas |
| If lost | Print again | Request a duplicate |
Provisional marks for admission
Many colleges give a provisional seat on the printout and ask for the original at document verification. Confirm what the admitting college accepts.
What changes after revaluation
If you applied for revaluation, wait for the revised result and use that version for admission forms.
Can you get a PUC marks card download in DigiLocker?
Possibly. DigiLocker carries academic documents from many issuers, and a 2022 UGC letter asked institutions to accept mark sheets kept in DigiLocker as valid. Whether your PUC marks card download is there depends on the Karnataka board publishing it. Search the education section of the app for the board before relying on it.
How to check
Open the app, go to the search or “Issued Documents” area, and look for the Karnataka board in the education category. If it is listed, enter your register number and year to fetch the card. You need a DigiLocker account linked to your mobile number before you can fetch anything.
Uploaded scans are different
A scan you upload yourself is only a copy for your convenience. It does not carry the board’s digital signature.
How do you check that a PUC marks card download is genuine?
Treat any marks card download from an unofficial site with caution. A genuine record comes from the board’s own result page, an issued DigiLocker document, or the printed card from your college. If a site asks for payment or personal details beyond your register number, close it.
Check the web address
Government sites in Karnataka end in .gov.in or .nic.in. Type the address yourself rather than tapping links in messages.
Compare with the original
When the printed card arrives, match the marks with your saved result. Raise any gap with your college the same week.
When do you need a PUC duplicate marks card?
You need a PUC duplicate marks card when the original is lost, stolen, burnt or damaged so badly that offices will not accept it. A photocopy or old scan helps you remember details, but most admission and job offices want either the original or a board-issued duplicate.
Common reasons
- Lost while moving house or during travel
- Damaged by water or torn at the folds
- Stolen along with a bag or wallet
When a duplicate is not the answer
If only your name or date of birth is wrong, you need a correction, not a duplicate. That has its own process, covered below.
How to apply for a PUC duplicate marks card?
To request a PUC duplicate marks card, start at the PU college where you studied. It can confirm the current form, fee and documents and send the request to the board. Former students who cannot reach the college can check the board’s website for its duplicate process.
- Gather details. Note your register number, exam month and year, and stream.
- Report the loss. Get a police report or affidavit if the board asks for one.
- Ask your PU college. Visit the college office and ask for the duplicate request process.
- Pay the board fee. Pay the amount the board lists for that year, and keep the receipt.
- Collect the copy. Collect the duplicate card when the college or board tells you it is ready.
Which fee applies to a PUC duplicate marks card?
We could not verify a current fee. The board sets it and can revise it, so ask the college office or check the board’s website before paying, and always get a receipt.
How long does a PUC duplicate marks card take?
Timing depends on the board’s workload and your exam year. Ask the college for an expected date and follow up if it passes.
What documents does a PUC duplicate marks card request need?
The exact list comes from the board, but a duplicate marks card request usually rests on proof of who you are and which exam you sat. Carry originals and photocopies of each, because the college may keep copies for its file.
Documents to keep ready
- Photo ID, such as your Aadhaar card
- Your Class 10 marks card for name and date of birth
- Any copy or scan of the lost PUC card
- Police report or affidavit, if asked
- Fee receipt
If you have no copy at all
Your register number and year are enough for the board to trace the record. The college can find these from its admission register.
How do you correct a mistake on a 2nd PUC marks card?
If your 2nd PUC marks card shows a wrong spelling, date of birth or parent’s name, tell your PU college as soon as possible. The college checks its own records and raises a correction request with the board, usually with proof such as your Class 10 card or birth certificate.
Act early
Corrections are simplest soon after results, while your batch records are still at hand. Do not alter the card yourself; any handwritten change makes it invalid.
Keep both versions
When the corrected card arrives, keep a note of the old details too, in case an earlier form used them.
Where is the original PUC marks card kept after college?
Once handed over, the original PUC marks card is yours to keep. Colleges and employers look at it and take attested photocopies, but they should not keep the original for good. Ask for a written receipt if any office must hold it for a few days.
Simple storage habits
Keep the card flat in a folder, away from damp. Avoid laminating it, because some offices need to see the back. Keep a clear scan in two places.
Sharing copies
Give self-attested photocopies to offices and keep the original with you.
Searching PUC for a car or bike instead?
If you came here looking for the vehicle document, you need the Pollution Under Control certificate, not a marks card. It is issued at an authorised testing centre after an emission check. Our PUC certificate guide explains how to get and download it.
Where the two meet
They share three letters and nothing else. A marks card never expires; a vehicle PUC certificate does. Keep the marks card with your study papers and the vehicle certificate with your vehicle papers.
