Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026: How to Download, Check Details, Fix Errors and Exam-Day Checklist
DHSE released the Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026 on 15 Jan 2026 . Schools must download the admit cards from dhsekerala.gov.in , get them signed by the school principal and give the printouts to students.
No student will be allowed to write the DHSE exam without the Kerala 12th admit card. The same hall ticket covers both practical exams and theory exams, so hold on to it until the Kerala Plus Two result is declared.
Quick overview: What is the Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026?
The Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026 is the official admit card issued by DHSE for Class 12 board exams. It was released by DHSE on 15 Jan 2026 and schools are responsible for downloading and distributing it to students.
This admit card is mandatory. You cannot enter the exam centre or sit for the paper without the printed and signed admit card. One hall ticket serves for both theory and practical exams, so keep it safe through all exam days.

Who downloads the admit cards and exact download steps for schools
Only schools can download the Kerala 12th admit card. The portal is accessible to authorised school users with login credentials supplied by DHSE.
Standard steps schools follow to complete the admit card download and distribution are:
- Visit dhsekerala.gov.in and log in with school credentials.
- Select the Class 12 / Plus Two admit card section and choose the exam session.
- Pull the student list and generate the admit cards on screen.
- Download PDFs, take printouts and get each admit card signed by the school principal.
- Distribute the printed admit cards to students.
After printing, the principal’s signature is mandatory on the admit card before handing it to you. If your school has not distributed the printout but you see the admit card online, follow up with the principal immediately.
Details printed on the Kerala 12th admit card — what to verify
Check every item on your Kerala 12th admit card the moment you receive it. Small errors are common and easier to fix before exam day.
| Field on admit card | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Student name | Spelling must match your school records and ID proofs |
| Roll number | Used for marking and result — crucial |
| Admit card number | Unique ID for your hall ticket |
| Exam dates and time | Confirms your subject and exam day |
| Exam centre name and address | Ensures you travel to the right place |
| Subjects / Optional papers listed | Confirms you are scheduled for correct papers |
Common errors to watch for: wrong name spelling, incorrect roll number, wrong exam centre or missing subjects. If any of these are wrong, act fast — errors that remain uncorrected can cause major problems on exam day.
Checklist to verify as soon as you get the admit card:
- Your full name and spelling match your school ID and Aadhar (if used).
- Roll number and admit card number are present and legible.
- All your registered subjects are listed with correct subject codes.
- Exam centre name and address are correct and reachable.
- Principal’s signature is present and the print is clear.
What to do if you find an error — process, timeline and template actions
If you find any error on your Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026, inform your school immediately. Only the school can request corrections from DHSE or reprint the admit card.
Suggested action steps and expected timeline:
- Inform your class teacher and the school administrative office on the same day you receive the admit card.
- Provide supporting documents (school ID, Aadhar copy, birth certificate) to prove the correct details.
- School logs in to the DHSE portal and requests correction or reprint. Schools usually follow an internal checklist before sending corrections to DHSE.
- Follow up every 48–72 hours with the school until the corrected admit card is issued.
Turnaround times vary by school and DHSE workload. Ask your school to prioritise serious errors (wrong roll number, missing subject, wrong centre) as these affect your ability to write the exam.
Template email/letter you can use to request correction from school:
Subject: Request for correction — Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026 (Student: [Your Name], Roll no: [If available])
Dear Principal / Exam Co-ordinator,
I received my Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026 today and found an error in the following field(s): [list incorrect fields — e.g., name spelling, exam centre]. Attached are scanned copies of supporting documents showing the correct details (school ID / Aadhar / birth certificate).
Please request the correction and reissue the admit card on an urgent basis as exams begin on [mention closest exam date]. I am available to meet if you need originals.
Thank you, [Your name] — Class [X], Section [Y] Contact: [phone number]
Use this template and hand it in or email it to the principal. Keep a copy of the mail or receipt as proof of your follow-up.
Duplicate admit card, lost card procedure and fees (what we know and gaps)
If you lose the printed Kerala 12th admit card, the known process is straightforward: inform your school and get a duplicate printout. Schools can reprint admit cards from the DHSE portal and distribute a duplicate to students.
What we do not have from official DHSE communications: whether a fee is charged for duplicate admit cards and the exact documentation required. Those details vary by school. Ask your school about any internal photocopy or administrative charges.
Practical tips to avoid problems:
- Keep at least two printed copies of your admit card — one for daily use and one as backup.
- Keep a scanned PDF or photo of the signed admit card on your phone until results are out.
- If your signed admit card is damaged, request a fresh print from the school and get it signed again.
SAY (supplementary) admit cards — what differs and when to expect them
Kerala Plus Two SAY (supplementary) hall tickets will be released in May 2026 . Schools will download and distribute these SAY admit cards the same way they did for the main exam.
SAY admit cards are for students who must reappear in papers after the main result. The SAY admit card will list only the supplementary subjects and the new exam dates. Keep your original main admit card and the SAY admit card both until the final result and any re-evaluation process are finished.
Exam day rules and last-minute checklist
Carry the printed and signed Kerala 12th admit card to every exam day. You may also be asked to show a school ID or another government ID depending on local centre rules.
Mandatory and recommended items:
- Printed Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026 with school principal signature.
- Valid photo ID as requested by your school (school ID, Aadhar, etc.).
- Stationery allowed by the exam centre (pens, pencils, eraser). Mechanical calculators and mobiles are generally prohibited unless explicitly allowed on the admit card for certain exams.
Prohibited items and conduct rules:
- Mobile phones, smartwatches, internet-enabled devices are not allowed inside the exam hall.
- Any form of unfair practice or communication during the exam will lead to disqualification.
Quick pre-exam checklist for the day before:
- Check the exam centre address and travel time — visit the centre if needed.
- Keep two copies of the signed admit card ready.
- Charge any allowed devices (only if explicitly permitted) and keep them in switched-off mode outside the hall.
- Pack required stationery and a small water bottle.
- Sleep early and keep a calm routine.
Grace marks and other result-related notes students should know
Grace marks were restored by the Kerala government through a 2023 order. The rule limits grace marks to a single event per student, so they will be awarded only for the highest-scoring co-curricular achievement.
Sports grace marks were not awarded during 2020–2022 because COVID disrupted regular academic schedules. For 2023 onwards, DHSE and state orders clarified the restored limits and conditions for awarding graceful marks.
How this affects results and re-evaluation:
- Grace marks, when applicable, will reflect in the Kerala Plus Two result published by DHSE or the results portal.
- If you disagree with a score after results, you can apply for re-evaluation, rechecking or seek a photocopy of answer sheets through the process announced by DHSE. Keep your admit card and roll number handy as you will need these for applications.
Contact points, missing official details and alternative solutions
Your first point of contact for admit card issues is the school principal or the exams co-ordinator. They hold the login access and can request corrections or reprints from DHSE.
Official DHSE helpline numbers or emails were not listed in the admit card release bulletin we reviewed. If the school cannot resolve a problem, ask the principal to escalate to the regional DHSE office or the state DHSE centre through the official website dhsekerala.gov.in.
If your school cannot download admit cards due to technical reasons, suggested alternatives:
- Ask the school to contact DHSE technical support through the contact forms on dhsekerala.gov.in.
- Request a dated written acknowledgement from the school confirming you reported the issue — this can help if you face problems at the exam centre.
- If you face a last-minute centre or admit card issue on exam day, report it immediately to the centre superintendent and present any written proof from the school.
Resources, links and templates to speed up corrections
Essential places to check and use:
- Official DHSE portal: dhsekerala.gov.in (for portal access and circulars).
- State result portal (for Kerala Plus Two result announcements and SAY results).
Template items included above:
- Ready-to-use email/letter template to request corrections from your school.
- Admit card verification checklist — print and tick off when you get your admit card.
Admit card verification checklist (printable):
- [ ] Name and spelling correct
- [ ] Roll number present and correct

- [ ] Keep 2 printed copies and one scanned copy
Final tips: How to stay organised from admit card collection to result day
Keep both physical and digital backups of your Kerala Plus Two Hall Ticket 2026. A clear scanned PDF stored on your phone or cloud can save you from panic if the printout is lost.
Set up a communication plan with your school: report any errors in writing, follow up every 48–72 hours and keep copies of emails or receipts. That shows proof of action if you need faster escalation.
Stay calm on exam day. Arrive early at your exam centre with the signed admit card and required stationery. After exams, keep the admit card until the Kerala Plus Two result, SAY and any re-evaluation actions are complete.
