Public Exams for Classes 5, 7, 8 and 9: Latest Update
Karnataka may bring back state-level assessment exams for Classes 5, 7, 8 and 9.
The proposal aims to assess students' learning levels across government and private schools.
These tests may be introduced as assessment examinations, not board exams.
The move comes two years after the Supreme Court halted similar board exams.
Officials say many students struggle with basic concepts from lower classes.
The exams are intended to evaluate learning, not to fail students.
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board may prepare the question papers.
Answer sheets are likely to be evaluated at the taluk level.
Results could help identify weak subjects and improve teaching strategies.
The government is exploring a legally compliant framework before implementing the proposal.
