In a significant student-friendly move, the Government of Karnataka has announced that students who missed the first round of the SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) Examination 2025 will be allowed to appear for the SSLC Exam 2. This decision aims to give students a second chance and reduce the number of school dropouts due to exam-related challenges.
✅ Second Chance for Missed Opportunities
The SSLC Exam 2 is an alternative opportunity for those students who, for any reason—be it health issues, family emergencies, or personal struggles—could not attend the first session of the board examination.
This step reflects the state government’s commitment to inclusive education and ensuring that every child gets a fair opportunity to succeed academically.
🏠 Officials Will Reach Out to Students
Taking a proactive approach, education department officials will visit the homes of absentee students to encourage them to participate in the second exam. This outreach ensures that students feel supported and understand the importance of completing their foundational education.
The state aims to personally guide these students and motivate them to make use of this second opportunity.
❌ No Grace Marks Policy
While the government is being flexible in offering another chance, it remains firm on maintaining academic standards. There will be no provision of grace marks, emphasizing the importance of genuine performance over leniency.
Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa stated that while the focus is on support and inclusion, the quality and integrity of education must remain uncompromised.
🎯 Why This Matters
- Helps reduce dropout rates after Class 10
- Encourages academic completion among marginalized and struggling students
- Promotes a culture of support rather than punishment
- Reinforces the importance of Class 10 as a foundation for future careers
