Reason Behind the Change

The revision in the exam schedule comes due to changes in the holiday notification for Mahavir Jayanti. Initially, the festival was scheduled for March 31, 2026, but it has now been shifted to March 30, 2026 by the state government.

As a result, the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board decided to reschedule the Third Language paper to avoid any clash with the public holiday.
