II PU results 2018 expected today
Bengaluru: Results of the 2018 II PU examination will be announced on Monday. The Department of Pre-University Education has said that students can access the results on the websites http://karresults.nic.in and http://puc.kar.nic.in after 11.30 a.m.
C. Shikha, director of the department, said the results would be published in the respective colleges on Tuesday. A total of 6.9 lakh students had registered for the examination that was conducted in March.
The examination was conducted early this year owing to the State Assembly elections that are scheduled to be held on May 12.
As many as 2.01 lakh candidates from Arts stream, 2.56 lakh from Commerce stream, and 2.32 lakh from the Science stream had registered for the exam, department officials said.
After looking into errors in the question papers, the expert committee that submitted a report to the department said that all students would get two grace marks for the English paper, while there was a possibility of students getting up to six marks in the physics paper.
The department has decided not to allow private websites to host the results as there was an error in some of the results from a private company a couple of years ago.

AIMPLB criticises JPC's approach on Waqf Amendment Bill, calls for adherence to guidelines
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.
Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.
In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.
The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
