The Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Kerala has officially declared the Kerala 12th SAY Result 2026 today, July 25, 2026. Students who appeared for the Save A Year (SAY)/Improvement examinations can now log in and download their provisional marks memo from the official DHSE result portals.
This is welcome news for thousands of Plus Two students across Kerala who couldn't clear one or more subjects in their regular board exam earlier this year, or who sat for the improvement exam hoping to boost their scores for college admissions.
The SAY (Save A Year) exam was conducted from June 29 to July 3, 2026, for students who could not clear one or two subjects in the main Plus Two examination. The scheme exists precisely so that students don't lose an entire academic year over a couple of failed papers — they get a second shot within the same year and can move forward with admissions without delay.
The result has been made available across multiple official DHSE-linked portals, so if one site is slow due to heavy traffic (which is common on result day), students have backup options:
results.kite.kerala.gov.in
dhsekerala.gov.in
keralaresults.nic.in
results.hse.kerala.gov.in
Visit any of the official websites listed above.
Look for the link that reads "Kerala Plus Two SAY/Improvement Result 2026" or "DHSE +2 SAY Result 2026."
Click on it — you'll be redirected to a login window.
Enter your registration number and date of birth in the required fields.
Click "Submit" or "Get Result."
Your provisional marks memo will appear on screen.
Download and save a PDF copy, and take a printout for reference.
This is the detail students most often overlook, so it's worth repeating clearly: the mark sheet available online after the SAY/Improvement result declaration is provisional in nature, and the original mark sheet issued by DHSE Kerala is the document that will be treated as official for admissions and verification. Students should collect their original mark sheet from their respective schools once issued, and preserve it carefully for future academic requirements.
If you spot any error in your name, subject code, or marks on the online memo, don't panic — contact your school authorities or the DHSE office immediately for rectification rather than waiting.
Students who clear the SAY examination can continue their higher secondary education journey without losing an academic year, and can proceed straight into the college admission process using their updated scorecard wherever applicable.
Kerala 12th results for the main examination were released on May 26, 2026, at 3 pm, with an overall pass percentage of 77.97%, and the Science stream emerging as the top performer at 84.52%. It was against this backdrop that eligible students appeared for the June-July SAY exam to clear pending subjects or improve their scores.
For comparison, last year's cycle saw the SAY result declared for a total of 3,70,642 students, of whom 2,88,394 cleared the exam, recording an overall pass percentage of 77.81% — so this year's numbers, once fully published stream-wise, will be watched closely against that benchmark.
