Instead of providing answer booklets for the board exam of classes 5, 8, and 9, the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) has decided to provide only question papers and asked the students to bring their answer sheets. The department has also decided to evaluate the answer sheets at the block level.
The DSEL is conducting board exam for class 5 and 8 since the academic year of 2022-23 and extended the exam for class 9 from the academic year of 2023-24.
The Karnataka State Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) is the authority to conduct the exams and has scheduled the exams from March 11 to 18.
