Bengaluru: The Department of Primary and Secondary Education has announced the tentative timetable for the SSLC and second pre-university examinations.
While the Class X exam has been advanced by a week, the II PU exam schedule will see fewer gaps between some of the subjects. This has been done owing to the elections to the State Legislative Assembly, which are likely to be held in April/ May. The II PU exam, usually conducted over a span of a month, will now be conducted over a period of 16 days.
The Department of Pre-University Education has set the tentative timetable of the II PU exam between March 1 and March 16, 2018. The Karnataka Secondary Education and Examination Board too has released a tentative schedule for the Class X exam, between March 23 and April 4, 2018. Those who wish to submit any objections can do so by November 24.
A total of 9.6 lakh SSLC students are slated to appear for the exam and there would be 60,000 evaluators. A total of seven lakh PU students will appear for the exam, and 18,000 to 20,000 lecturers will evaluate the answer scripts.
