"Second PUC examination results will be announced on Tuesday at 11.30 am. All the students will get information on their mobile phones.
After 12 noon, the results will be uploaded on the website karresults.nic.in," Kumar said in a video message. The PUC exam was conducted from March 4-21 but due to the coronavirus related lockdown, the last paper, which was to be conducted on March 23, was postponed and was taken up on June 18, he added.
"Our state is the first in south India to announce the PUC result. The results of 6.75 lakh students will be announced on Tuesday," the minister said.
