The Karnataka government on Thursday issued a gazette notification reducing the pass percentage for SSLC exam from 35 to 33.
As per the new rules, candidates who secure an average of 33% marks in internal assessment and external examination combined will be declared pass. They should secure at least 206 marks out of a total of 625, including at least 30% marks in each subject out of the total marks of the respective subject.
The government has given 15 days for the public to file objections to the new rules. The State government has amended the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board Act, 1966, to allow for this reduction.
