Additionally, the SSLC (class 10) exams are also set to begin from March 25 wherein 8.9 lakh students have registered.
As per the official schedule, the Class 5 exams will be held on March 25 — Environmental Studies (2:30 pm to 4:30pm) — and March 26 — Mathematics (10:am to 12pm).

The examination for classes 5, 8 and 9 are scheduled in the afternoon on March 25 and March 27 so that the exams do not clash with SSLC exams. In the absence of SSLC examination, the summative assessment for classes 5, 8 and 9 will be held in the morning, KSEAB clarified.
The division bench of the Karnataka High Court today allowed the state government to conduct board exams for Classes 5, 8, and 9 under state syllabus, thus setting aside the single bench order that quashed the government’s order to conduct examinations.
