Karnataka 2nd PUC Board Exam 2024: No practical exam will be conducted for visually impaired students appearing for Karnataka 2nd PUC board exams 2024.

According to the Karnataka 2nd PUC marking scheme, practical exam is conducted for 20 marks. The government has fixed the 20 marks for internal assessment for visually impaired students.

The internal evaluation system for students has been introduced from the current academic year 2023-24. A circular regarding the order has been issued to concerned schools as well.
