# Karnataka to introduce digital evaluation for SSLC, II PU exams 2026-08-10T18:49:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) plans to introduce digital evaluation of SSLC and II PU answer scripts in a phased manner, following the CBSE model but with caution. In the first phase, the board will test it on smaller exams like the state open school and drawing grade tests, where fewer than 5,000 candidates enrol. If successful, it will expand to the main exams, which see 8 lakh SSLC and 6.5 lakh II PU students annually. The Hindu reports that the move comes after the state government instructed KSEAB to consider digital evaluation to speed up results. However, the CBSE's digital evaluation faced discrepancies last year, prompting Karnataka to proceed carefully. Board chairperson Prakash Nittali said a proposal will be submitted after reviewing cost, technology, and challenges, especially scanning and uploading 25-page answer sheets without missing any page. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: CBSE controversy, digital evaluation, II PU, Karnataka education, KSEAB, SSLC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-to-introduce-digital-evaluation-for-sslc-ii-pu-exams/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
