The Karnataka government has announced a 50% increase in II PU (Pre-University) examination-related fees starting this academic year, impacting students in both government and private colleges statewide. The hike includes the examination fee, admission fee, marks card fee, and other associated charges, marking the first major revision in nearly eight years.
The Department of Pre-University Education and the Karnataka State Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) proposed the revision, which the government approved. The new fee structure applies immediately, requiring II PU students to pay higher fees for exam registration and related documents.
The increase encompasses not only the examination fee but also the costs for admission, marks cards, and related services, raising the overall expenses for the examination process. The fees remained unchanged for almost eight years before this update.
This decision directly affects II PU students and their families across Karnataka, as it applies to all government and private pre-university colleges. The revision is limited to examination and documentation fees, with no changes announced regarding the curriculum or exam structure.
