- 2026-27 Kannada Medium Specifics
· The question paper will have bilingual headings (Kannada & English), but the main questions will be in Kannada.
· The Kannada version is a direct translation of the English paper, so the difficulty level, number of questions, and internal choices are exactly the same.
- Where to Get 2026-27 Papers when Released
When the new papers are uploaded, you can download them from:
- Go to kseab.karnataka.gov.in.
- Click on the “SSLC” tab on the homepage.
- Look for the “Model Question Papers” or “Examination Materials” section.
- Select “2026-27” and choose “Mathematics” and your preferred medium (Kannada/English).
Pro-Tip for Your Preparation:
· Solve the 2025-26 paper 3 times – Once open-book, once timed (3 hours), and once focusing only on the chapters you find difficult.
· The KSEAB repeats 30-40% of questions in a modified format from the previous year’s model paper. Pay extra attention to Polynomials, Quadratic Equations, Circles, and Statistics.
· For Kannada Medium students: Practice writing the Kannada mathematical terms (e.g., ವರ್ಗ ಸಮೀಕರಣ, ತ್ರಿಕೋನಮಿತಿ) clearly, as you lose marks for spelling errors in key terminology.
