Karnataka SSLC exams 2026 begin on March 18 with the Kannada paper. Students in Bengaluru can travel free on BMTC buses by showing hall tickets. Authorities have also issued exam day guidelines.

Karnataka SSLC Exams 2026: The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board has scheduled the SSLC examinations for students in Class 10 to begin from tomorrow, March 18, 2026. The first exam for the students will be the Kannada language exam.

With lakhs of students preparing for the important board examinations, special arrangements have been made for the students’ commute. In a significant move for the students, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation has announced the free movement of SSLC students within Bengaluru city on the day of the examination.

Students can board regular BMTC buses without the need for a ticket by showing the hall ticket to the conductor. However, this facility will not be available on AC services, including Vayu Vajra buses.

Adding to the positive momentum, a video from the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation has gone viral on social media, showing a bus conductor instructing the driver to stop wherever Class 10 students need to board. “Even if we get late, it’s okay. Let’s help them,” he is heard saying, reflecting a broader effort by transport staff to support students during the exam period.
