Karnataka Board Sets February-May 2027 Window for Class 10, 12 Exams

Karnataka's education authorities have released the academic calendar for the 2027 examination cycle, scheduling annual examinations for Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) and Second Year Pre-University (II PU) students across a three-month window. The examination period will commence on February 27 and conclude on May 31, 2027, marking a significant extension compared to traditional compressed examination schedules.

The extended timeframe for conducting examinations across both streams reflects an effort to provide students with adequate preparation time while allowing examination centers to manage the logistical demands of conducting assessments for large candidate populations. The staggered schedule also provides flexibility in organizing practical examinations and special assessment requirements specific to different subject streams.

Schools and colleges across Karnataka are expected to align their academic calendars with the board's examination schedule to ensure students complete their syllabi well in advance of the February start date. The announcement allows educational institutions time to plan their internal assessments, revision schedules, and examination preparations accordingly.

Students appearing for SSLC certification and II PU qualifications are advised to utilize the extended timeline to strengthen their subject comprehension and examination readiness. The board's calendar provides clarity for students, parents, and educators planning the academic year, enabling comprehensive preparation strategies ahead of the 2027 examination cycle.
