Karnataka Class 10 Science Sample Question Paper

The annual examination for Karnataka SSLC (Class 10) is to kick-start from Mar 23, 2018 onwards. The Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) will conduct the science paper on Apr 2, 2018. We are providing the science sample question paper for the students released by the KSEEB Board.

The science paper will carry 80 marks. The duration of the exam will be of three hours. Candidates should now focus on solving sample papers, so as to learn time management. The question paper consists of an objective and subjective type of questions. Here are a few important questions.
