BENGALURU: Karnataka will hold a crunched version of the deferred SSLC exams on July 19 and 22, primary and secondary education minister minister S Suresh Kumar announced on Monday. The first day will have core papers — mathematics, science and social science — and the second day only languages.
The exams, to be held from 10.30am to 1.30pm, will be in the multiple-choice format and students will write on the OMR sheet. This is the second year that the SSLC exams are being conducted under the shadow of Covid. The government, however, decided to cancel II PU exams this year owing to the second wave. The minister said the health department will soon release standard operating procedures for the exams. Some of the steps will include prohibitory orders around 200 metres of exam centres.
