The Karnataka School Examinations and Assessments Board (KSEAB) has issued an official circular revising the timing for the Social Science subject in the 3rd State Level Preparatory Examination for SSLC students.
Revised Schedule for Social Science Exam
Date: February 28, 2026
New Timing: 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM (afternoon session)
Previous Timing: Originally scheduled at 10:00 AM / 10:30 AM
Reason for Change
This adjustment has been made to avoid a clash with the II PUC (2nd PUC) examination scheduled on the same day (February 28, 2026). The change ensures smooth conduct without logistical issues for schools and students.
Key Details from the Circular
The question paper for Social Science will be uploaded to the school's login portal by the board at 12:30 PM on February 28, 2026.
Schools must download and print the paper from their login for systematic conduct of the exam.
No other changes: The schedule for all remaining subjects in the 3rd Preparatory Exam (February 23–28, 2026) remains unchanged.
