Karnataka SSLC Exam Timings Revised After Leak
The Karnataka government changed the timings for an important exam called the SSLC preparatory exam.
This happened because someone leaked the questions for the first exam.
Now, the exam will start at 11 AM instead of 10 AM.
Students still need to arrive at school by 9 AM.
The teachers and school officials will download and print the exam papers in the morning to make sure everything is safe and secure.
If there's another leak, the people in charge will be in big trouble.
The government wants to make sure the exam is fair and safe for all students.
The Karnataka SSLC preparatory exam timings have been revised to start at 11 AM instead of 10 AM due to a question paper leak.
Students are required to report to their classrooms by 9 AM on all exam days.
Regular classes will be conducted from 9 AM to 10:30 AM before the exam to keep students supervised.
Question papers will be downloaded and printed by the headmaster between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, with distribution by 10:50 AM.
Strict accountability measures have been put in place, with legal action threatened for any further leaks.
