Karnataka SSLC Third Language Examination Rescheduled Following Holiday Notification Change
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board has officially postponed the third language paper of the ongoing SSLC examination. Originally scheduled for March 30, the examination will now be conducted on March 31. This significant adjustment comes directly as a result of the state government's revised notification regarding the Mahaveer Jayanthi holiday.
Direct Link to Revised Holiday Declaration
The Mahaveer Jayanthi festival, which was initially notified to be observed on March 31, has now been officially shifted to March 30. Consequently, with March 30 declared a public holiday, it became administratively unfeasible to hold the SSLC examination on that date. The board acted promptly to align the examination schedule with this updated holiday calendar, ensuring no conflict with the festive observance.
The board has disseminated fresh instructions and guidelines to all affiliated schools and designated examination centers across Karnataka to implement this new date seamlessly. Students registered for the third language paper have been notified through multiple official channels, including direct communication from school authorities and formal notifications issued by the board itself.
Rest of the SSLC Schedule Remains Unaffected
Officials have confirmed that all other papers in the SSLC examination series will proceed strictly according to the original, pre-announced timetable. The examinations commenced on March 18 and are set to conclude on April 2. Maintaining the integrity of the remaining schedule is a top priority for the administration to prevent any further disruptions or complications for the vast student body.
Examination superintendents at all centers statewide have received explicit directives to adhere to this revised timetable for the single affected paper while strictly following the original schedule for all subsequent examinations.
Statewide Coordination for a Massive Candidate Pool
This year's SSLC examination in Karnataka witnesses the participation of approximately 8.65 lakh (865,000) students from across the state's various districts. Managing an examination of this scale requires meticulous coordination and clear communication protocols. The education department has emphasized that timely and accurate information regarding this date change is being relayed to all stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and center staff.
The authorities have assured that comprehensive arrangements are in place to ensure that candidates do not face any undue hardship or confusion due to this rescheduling. They have clarified that the change was an inevitable administrative response to the revised holiday declaration and in no way compromises the examination's fairness or procedural integrity. It has been firmly stated that no further alterations to the examination schedule are anticipated.
