# KSEAB to set question papers for first-year PU exams 2026-11-08T03:01:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) will prepare question papers for the first-year pre-university annual examination starting from the present academic year. The state government issued an official order on Saturday, 7 November 2026. However, the examinations will be conducted under the supervision of the Department of School Education (Pre-University). A uniform examination timetable applicable to all PU colleges across the state will be prepared, and on the day of the examination, question papers will be shared with colleges digitally. The timetable for practical examinations for first-year PU students will be prepared at the district level. Examination results will be declared only after review and approval by the respective deputy director pre-university of each district. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The transfer of question paper setting to KSEAB centralises a task previously handled at the college or department level, which could reduce leakage risks but also removes local flexibility. The order leaves unresolved how colleges will handle digital distribution on exam day, especially in areas with poor connectivity. Results now depend on district-level approval from deputy directors, a step that may delay declaration. The key practical test will be the implementation of the digital delivery system in the first cycle of exams this academic year. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Straight factual report of government order without commentary This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
