Karnataka SSLC hall tickets for the 2026 examinations have been released while II PUC board exams began statewide on February 28, 2026 with over 7.1 lakh students. CBSE has directed all affiliated schools in Bengaluru and Karnataka to start Class 10 and 12 classes no earlier than April 1, locking the academic session from April 1 to March 31.

Why these changes matter now

The timing aligns with the release of SSLC hall tickets and the ongoing II PUC exams, placing immediate pressure on schools to adjust calendars and prepare students. Families in Bengaluru must plan around the fixed April start date for CBSE schools while state government schools face separate policy shifts beginning the next academic year.

Language and curriculum requirements

Private schools across Bengaluru have been warned to enforce the Kannada Language Learning Act, 2015. This makes Kannada mandatory as a first or second language for students in CBSE, ICSE, IB and IGCSE streams. The state government also plans to introduce mandatory moral science classes from Class 1 to 12 in government schools starting the next academic year and will consider including Ramayana in the curriculum.

Streamlined approvals for private schools

Karnataka is launching a new online system for private school applications processed through DDPI login. The change reduces administrative levels from eight to five and cuts processing time from 35 days to 15-25 days. Schools in Bengaluru will use this platform for future approvals.

What happens next

Schools must now align class schedules with the CBSE April 1 start rule and prepare Kannada teaching arrangements. Government schools will begin rolling out moral science classes in the coming academic year while the new online application system becomes operational. Parents and institutions should monitor official education department notices for exact rollout dates and compliance steps.
