In 2024, the actual pass percentage stood at 53% which was later enhanced to 73% through a ‘normalisation’ process.
Since this exam session, Karnataka Board had proposed marks-based assessment for the third language paper in the SSLC examination with a grading system, as announced by School Education and Literacy Minister Madhu Bangarappa. As a result, the total marks for SSLC evaluation were reduced from 625 to 525. However, the Karnataka High Court clarified that SSLC students will receive marks instead of grades for the third language this academic year. The court emphasised that any modifications to examination rules, including grading systems, can only be implemented from the next academic year. The Karnataka High Court also directed the state government to evaluate the 2026 SSLC examination strictly as per existing guidelines, without introducing changes midway.
Candidates are advised to be cautious while checking their results. They should only access the marksheets through official Karnataka board webistes: kseab.karnataka.gov.in and karresults.nic.in.
