Kerala LSS and USS Scholarship Results Declared: Scorecards Now Live

The wait is finally over for thousands of students across Kerala. On 14 May 2025, the Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan officially released the results for the Lower Secondary Scholarship (LSS) and Upper Secondary Scholarship (USS) examinations. This means that students in Class 4 and Class 7 can now check their scores, download their scorecards, and see if they’ve secured financial aid for their education.

For many families in the state, these scholarships aren't just about extra pocket money—they’re a lifeline. The exams, held back on 27 February 2025, were designed to identify talented students who might otherwise struggle with school fees and materials. Now, three months later, the official portal is live, and the race to submit documents has begun.

How to Check Your LSS and USS Results

Here’s the thing: the process is straightforward, but you need to have your details ready. You don’t need to rush to a physical center; everything is digital. Here is how it works:

1. Visit the official result website maintained by the Kerala Board of Public Examinations.
2. Navigate to the "Results" section on the homepage.
3. Select either the LSS (for Class 4) or USS (for Class 7) option.
4. Enter your registration number and date of birth exactly as they appear on your admit card.
5. Click "Submit" to view your scorecard.

Once you see your marks, take a screenshot or download the PDF immediately. It’s your proof of qualification, and you’ll need it soon.

Understanding the Cut-Off Marks

Did you make the grade? The bar was set high this year. According to reports from The Times of India and educational platforms like Aglasem, the qualifying criteria are strict:

• LSS (Class 4): The maximum score is 80 marks. You need at least 48 marks to qualify.
• USS (Class 7): The maximum score is 90 marks. The cut-off here is higher, requiring 63 marks to secure the scholarship.

If your score is below these numbers, unfortunately, you won’t be eligible for this cycle. But if you’re above, congratulations—you’re one step closer to receiving your award.

Deadlines You Cannot Miss

But wait—checking the result is only half the battle. There are two critical dates looming on the horizon that every qualified student must know:

1. Document Submission Deadline: 15 June 2025
Qualified students must submit supporting documents to their respective schools. This includes income certificates and school verification records. These docs prove eligibility and ensure the scholarship goes to those who need it most. Missing this date could mean losing the benefit entirely.

2. Re-evaluation Request Deadline: 31 May 2025
Unhappy with your score? Think there was a marking error? You have until the end of May to apply for re-evaluation. This must be done through the same official online portal. Don’t leave this to the last minute, as server traffic tends to spike near deadlines.

Technical Issues? Help Is Available

We’ve all been there—the page doesn’t load, or the registration number isn’t recognized. If you hit a snag, don’t panic. The Pareekshabhavan Computer Section has provided dedicated support channels:

• Helpline Numbers: 0471-2546833 and 0471-2546832
• Email Support: [email protected]

These contacts are specifically listed for LSS and USS-related technical issues. Use them if the portal refuses to cooperate.

Why This Matters

This scholarship program is a cornerstone of Kerala’s education policy. By rewarding academic performance early in a child’s schooling, the state aims to reduce dropout rates and encourage consistent study habits. For middle-income and lower-income families, the financial relief is significant. It covers tuition fees and sometimes provides additional resources for learning materials.

As we look ahead, keep an eye on further notifications from the board regarding the disbursement schedule. Once documents are verified by schools, the funds should follow shortly after the June deadline.
