Karnataka SSLC Timetable 2026–27: Exam Dates & How to Read It

The SSLC timetable is usually announced by KSEAB in October–December for the upcoming cycle and confirmed as a final PDF by the end of December or January. Exam 1 runs in March–April, Exam 2 in May, and Exam 3 in June–July. Separate timetables apply for each of the three exams.

How to read and use the SSLC timetable

1. Get the official PDF from KSEAB — Go to kseab.karnataka.gov.in and look in the SSLC Student Corner or Notifications section. Save the PDF immediately — do not rely on screenshots forwarded through social media.
2. Match your subjects carefully — The timetable lists papers by subject name and sometimes by paper number. Match your subject list exactly, including language options and NSQF vocational subjects if you have them.
3. Note Exam 2 and Exam 3 dates separately — Exam 2 and Exam 3 timetables are released closer to those windows — typically after Exam 1 results. Monitor the KSEAB notification section.
4. Recheck a week before exams — Occasionally revision circulars adjust timings. Check the portal again before the first paper.

Confirm exact dates on the official board portal: Timetable dates are updated every cycle and may carry corrections mid-year. Always confirm exact dates and subject-wise timings on the official KSEAB portal before planning your travel or revision schedule.
