I PU question papers to be set at State level in Karnataka

The Department of School Education in Karnataka has decided to prepare question papers for the I PU annual examinations at the State level from the current academic year, aiming to enhance the quality of Pre-University education. The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board will be responsible for preparing these papers, while the Department of School Education will oversee the examinations.

A standardized timetable will be established for all PU colleges across the State to ensure uniformity in conducting these assessments. The question papers will be transmitted to colleges digitally on the examination day. Practical exams will be conducted according to a district-level schedule. Despite the State-level preparation of question papers, evaluation will continue at the college level with results only published after review and approval by the Deputy Director Pre-University of the relevant district. This move is anticipated to boost the pass percentage in the II PU examinations.
