Karnataka will introduce a common state-level question paper system for First Pre-University Course (First PUC) annual examinations from 2027, replacing the existing arrangement under which individual colleges prepare their own question papers.

The state government has assigned the responsibility of preparing the common papers to the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), according to reports published on November 9.

Under the revised system, students across the state's pre-university colleges will write examinations based on common question papers and a common timetable. The papers will be prepared centrally and transmitted digitally to colleges on the day of each examination.

The Department of School Education (Pre-University) will continue to oversee the conduct of the examinations. The change does not mean that First PUC examinations will become entirely centralised under KSEAB.

Practical examinations will continue to be organised separately, with schedules prepared at the district level. Answer-sheet evaluation will also remain at the college level.

After evaluation, the results will be reviewed and approved by the respective district Deputy Directors of Pre-University Education before publication.

School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa said the new arrangement would help the department monitor students' academic performance from the first year of the PU course itself. Identifying learning gaps at this stage could help students prepare more effectively for their Second PUC examinations.

The move is also intended to improve consistency in examination standards across colleges. Under the earlier system, individual institutions prepared their own papers, which could result in differences in question-paper difficulty and syllabus coverage.

A common paper system could make it easier to assess performance across institutions and identify areas where additional academic support is required.

Students and colleges should follow official instructions from the Department of School Education and KSEAB for the detailed examination timetable, paper distribution and practical examination arrangements.

The revised system is scheduled to take effect with the 2027 First PUC annual examinations.
