The Karnataka State Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) is now authorized to conduct Exams 1, 2, and 3, a total of three annual exams, for students in Classes 10 (SSLC) and 12 (second PUC), according to a formal government order released on Thursday by the Karnataka government. The decree will go into force in the current academic year, 2023–2024. With this, the SSLC and second PUC supplemental test concepts will be abandoned by the Karnataka school education department.
The education department also claimed that the old examination system, which included a main exam and a supplementary exam, caused tension and worry in students. In the most recent change, all three exams will be referred to as board examinations rather than "main" and "supplementary," according to the department, in an effort to instill a positive attitude in pupils.

How does the new testing system operate?
Currently, a student who completed the second PUC examination has the option to reject the marks they received in a particular topic on the main examination and retake the supplementary exam if they are unhappy with the results. However, without taking into account the scores earned in the prior examination, the student's final results are simply those gained in the supplementary exam. The new test method will provide students the chance to raise their scores by keeping the top marks from the first, second, and third exams.
The announcement explained that because each student learns at a different pace and in a different way, administering examinations 1, 2, and 3 can help students adjust to their learning style and lessen the stress that comes from being pressed for time.
The opportunity attempts to increase students' options for postsecondary study and employment. The move is also considered to be a factor in improving Karnataka's Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for higher education.
According to the rules outlined by the government in the order, pupils can sit for the SSLC and second PUC yearly exams if they have a 75% annual class attendance rate. Less than 75% attendance will disqualify a person from taking the exam.
Freshmen and private candidates taking the exam for the first time in any subject are required to take the main exam (exam 1) and are not permitted to take exams 2 and 3 concurrently. Additionally, the board established a one-time examination fee for the yearly exam and the distribution of mark sheets to students who passed the SSLC and Class 12 exams. If the student appears in the ensuing tests, administrators have been instructed by the board not to collect the fee a second time.
Students in SSLC and second PUC who do not pass the major exams must sit for the subsequent exams according to the current examination system. After the conclusion of the relevant exams, administrators will need to upload the students' scores into the Digi Locker system.
According to the board's provisional schedule, the first exam for class 12 will be given between March 1 and March 25, the second between May 15 and June 5, and the third between July 12 and July 30. For class 10, exams 1 and 2 are tentatively set for March 30 and April 15; exams 3 and 4 are tentatively scheduled for July 29 and August 5.
