Bengaluru: The Department of Public Instruction yesterday announced that the Karnataka State Evaluation and Assessment Board (KSEAB) will conduct annual exams for students of classes 5 and 8 from the current academic year. This is applicable for all Schools affiliated to the State Board.

The decision is part of the Government’s effort to measure the progress and performance of students at the elementary level for the entire year. The main objective is to bring more seriousness among students and recover from the learning loss caused due to the pandemic.

As of now, children are assessed through Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), the Government has decided to switch to annual exam system considering the difficulties in assessing children’s overall learning under CCE. The annual exams will be held between Mar. 9 and Mar. 17, 2023.

The question papers will carry a total of 50 marks. Out of which, 10 marks are dedicated to oral tests, 20 marks for multiple-choice questions and 20 marks for descriptive answers. The duration of the exam will be two hours. Meanwhile, the other 50 marks will be awarded based on the assessment of results in Formative Assessment (FA) 1, FA 2, and Summative Assessment (SA) 1 exams.
