Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government has officially announced that the results of the Higher Secondary (Plus Two) examinations will be declared on May 25, providing clarity and direction to lakhs of students awaiting their academic future. The announcement was made by General Education Minister V. Sivankutty, who also outlined key timelines for other crucial academic processes in the state.
According to the minister, the evaluation of answer scripts is currently underway and is expected to be completed within the stipulated timeframe to ensure the timely release of results. The government has emphasized efficiency in the valuation process despite earlier delays caused by election-related engagements and holidays.
In addition to the Plus Two results, the minister indicated that the SSLC (Class 10) examination results are likely to be published by the third week of May. This synchronized schedule is intended to streamline admissions and facilitate a seamless progression for students entering higher levels of education.
This year, a substantial number of students over four lakh appeared for the higher secondary examinations, reflecting the scale and significance of the state’s academic system. However, certain disruptions were reported in overseas centres, particularly in Gulf regions, where exams had to be cancelled due to unfavorable conditions.
Looking ahead, the state has fixed June 1 as the date for the official reopening of schools and the commencement of the new academic year. Authorities have instructed that all school infrastructure maintenance be completed by May 30 to ensure readiness. Strict guidelines have also been issued prohibiting entrance tests for school admissions, reinforcing the state’s policy of equitable access to education.
The government has also taken a firm stance against conducting classes during the vacation period, especially in light of the intense summer heat. Officials warned that any violation, particularly by institutions outside the state syllabus framework, would invite strict action.
To address student concerns, especially regarding internal assessment marks, a special committee comprising subject teachers will be formed to review and resolve complaints. This move aims to enhance transparency and fairness in the evaluation process.
With the result date now confirmed, students across Kerala are entering a crucial waiting period that will shape their higher education and career pathways. The government’s structured timeline signals an effort to maintain academic continuity while prioritizing student welfare and institutional accountability.
