SSLC students to get easier question papers this year Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA Class X students who started returning to their schools at the start of the year are worried as they have barely four months to prepare for the all-important SSLC board examination, which is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 14. Given that schools were closed for the better part of the 2020-21 academic year, Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) plans to set easier question papers. The board wants to reduce the difficulty level of the question papers for all the subjects. According to KSEEB officials, this year, on an average, 35% of the questions in each subject will be easy. In previous years, only 20% of the questions fell under this category, while 60% were designed to be of ‘average difficulty’. The remaining 20% fell in the ‘difficult’ category. “This year, only 5% of the questions will be difficult,” said a KSEEB official.
