Karnataka Board Raises SSLC Examination Fees by 5 Percent for 2027
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has increased the SSLC examination fees by 5% for the 2027 exams. The fee for freshers has risen from Rs 710 to Rs 746, with similar hikes for repeaters and private candidates across various subject categories. The board cited a 2020 government order mandating annual fee revisions and directed schools to collect the updated fees. This follows a recent increase in the pre-university examination fees by the state education department.
