Karnataka Government Announces No Board Exams for Classes 5, 8, 9, and 11 Students

For the academic year 2023–2024, the Karnataka government has issued an order directing the holding of yearly exams for Classes 5, 8, 9, and Class 11, or first PUC. According to the Indian Express, only pupils in classes 10 and 12 will take the board examinations.

Note that students in Classes 5, 8, 9, and the first PUC will be allowed to take their yearly examinations at institutions and colleges that use state board curriculum.

The Karnataka State Examination and Assessment Board initially started offering the Class 5 and Class 8 yearly examinations last year. The annual examinations for grades 5 and 8 will continue to be held as usual for the duration of this academic year. The board has changed the exam schedules.

The three-board test regulation was announced by the Karnataka board earlier this month. The education department of Karnataka stated that a student’s best result out of three board examinations will be taken into account as their final performance.

Currently, a student who passed the second PUC exam has the option to reject the grades they earned in any topic and repeat the supplemental exam if they are unhappy with the scores they received in that subject.

The new board exam reform will provide students additional opportunities to improve their board exam marks by maintaining the best scores from the first, second, and third tests.

What Previous News Opine

Ear;ie it was  stated that the state board-affiliated schools are planned to begin holding centralised yearly exams for classes 9 and 11 under the Department of School Education and Literacy in Karnataka.

If the idea is put into action, Karnataka would have a centralised annual test for classes 5, 8, 9, and 11 where the evaluation will be done at the school and taluk levels and the question papers will be set by the Karnataka State test and Assessment Board (KSEAB).

The plan would be presented to the government and School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa for final approval.

In order to better prepare students for the SSLC (10th) and second PUC (12th) board examinations, which are scheduled for next year, it was decided to create centralised yearly exams for classes 9 and 11.

The school’s education department also hopes to raise high school learning results, which have been dropping, per previous evaluation reports.
