KSEAB's tentative timetable puts Karnataka SSLC Exam 1 from March 22 to April 5, 2027; schools must register students by Nov 11 and objections close Oct 22.
What Happened
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has opened registration for the SSLC Exam 1 of 2027 and released a tentative timetable under which Class 10 board papers will be held from March 22 to April 5, 2027. Schools must upload the details of their eligible students through the board's portal by November 11, 2026. The board has invited objections to the draft timetable until October 22, 2026, and says objections received after that date will not be considered. A second SSLC exam, Exam 2, is proposed for May 24 to 31, 2027, and the II PUC (Class 12) Exam 1 is set to begin on February 27, 2027.

Why It Matters
For a Class 10 student in Karnataka, the timetable fixes the shape of the next five months. Knowing that the first paper is on March 22 lets students and teachers plan revision, preparatory exams and the gaps between subjects. Because the timetable is still tentative, it can change after the board reviews objections, so the final version matters more than the draft.
Registration is the step that students cannot see but must not miss. It is done by schools, not by students, through the school's login. Each school has to upload correct details for every eligible student by November 11. Errors in a name, date of birth or subject choice are easier to fix at this stage than after hall tickets are printed, so parents should check with the school that the details are right. Private candidates and repeaters register under separate rules published on the board's website.
Karnataka now holds more than one main SSLC exam in a year. Exam 2, planned for late May, gives students a second chance to improve their scores or clear subjects they did not pass in March. The board's objection window is a chance for schools, teachers and parents to point out clashes, for example with festivals, other exams or local holidays, before the dates are made final.
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| October 22, 2026 | Last date for objections to the draft timetable |
| November 11, 2026 | Last date for schools to register students |
| March 22, 2027 | SSLC Exam 1 begins with First Language |
| April 5, 2027 | SSLC Exam 1 ends with Social Science |
| May 24 to 31, 2027 | SSLC Exam 2 (proposed) |
Impact
Short-term: Schools across the state must complete student registration in the next four weeks. Students and teachers can begin to plan revision around a March 22 start. Anyone who sees a clash in the draft has until October 22 to raise it.
Long-term: Once the board finalises the dates, the timetable will shape preparatory exams, school calendars and family plans for the spring of 2027. The May window for Exam 2 also affects when students can be sure of their Class 10 results and plan admission to PU colleges.
Who is affected: Class 10 students in Karnataka and their parents, school heads and teachers handling registration, private candidates and repeaters, and II PUC students whose exams begin on February 27.
Key Takeaway
Karnataka's SSLC Exam 1 of 2027 is tentatively set for March 22 to April 5, with school registration open till November 11, 2026, and objections to the dates accepted till October 22.
