Karnataka's School Examination and Assessment Board will commence SSLC preparatory exams on January 5 as part of 'Mission 45'. These three exams, held between January and February, aim to boost student performance in the main SSLC examinations scheduled for March-April. The initiative provides students with question banks and model papers, with immediate grading and analysis to support slow learners. This program follows consistent high performance from districts like Dakshina Kannada and Udupi in previous SSLC exams.
