Karnataka Revises SSLC 2026 Timetable; Third Language Exam Shifted to March 31

Change Announced Following Holiday Adjustment

The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has revised the SSLC (Class 10) examination timetable for 2026, moving the third language exam to March 31. The decision was taken after a change in the state holiday schedule, which affected the previously planned exam date.

Officials stated that the revision ensures there is no overlap between the examination and the declared public holiday, allowing students and exam authorities to proceed without disruption.

No Major Alterations to Overall Schedule

Apart from the rescheduling of the third language paper, the rest of the SSLC examination timetable remains unchanged. The exams continue as originally planned, starting in mid-March and concluding in early April.

This limited adjustment ensures that students preparing for other subjects can follow their existing study plans without significant changes.

Minimal Impact on Students

The one-day shift is expected to have only a minor impact on students. Schools and examination centres have been instructed to communicate the updated date clearly to avoid any confusion.

Education authorities emphasized that such changes are part of routine administrative adjustments aimed at maintaining smooth exam operations.

Guidance for Students

Students are advised to:

  • Check the updated timetable carefully
  • Stay in touch with their schools for confirmation
  • Adjust revision plans for the affected subject

Being aware of the revised date will help students avoid last-minute stress and stay focused on their preparation.
