Karnataka’s second-year pre-university students now have a clearer timeline for the 2027 board examinations. The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board released the final timetable on October 29, setting Exam 1 from February 27 to March 18 and Exam 2 from May 3 to May 15. The announcement gives students, teachers and families a defined preparation window ahead of the final stretch of the academic year.
How Exam 1 will unfold
The first examination opens on February 27 with Kannada and Arabic. English follows on March 1, while other language papers are scheduled for March 2. Geography and Psychology are listed for March 3, Sociology and Physics for March 4, and Accountancy for March 5. Chemistry, Education and Basic Mathematics are scheduled for March 8, followed by Economics and Geology on March 9.
Key dates for science and commerce students
Business Studies and Mathematics are scheduled for March 12. Biology, Political Science and Computer Science follow on March 15, while Statistics and Electronics are listed for March 16. Hindi is scheduled for March 17 and History closes Exam 1 on March 18. Students should review the complete subject-wise official timetable rather than relying only on dates circulating in class groups.
A special timing students should notice
The March 11 examination covering Hindustani Music and several vocational subjects is listed from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Examination timing may vary by paper, so students must check the time printed against their own subject and confirm it again on their hall ticket. The examinations are to be conducted offline in pen-and-paper format.
Why the May examination matters
The Board has scheduled Exam 2 from May 3 to May 15. Students should understand the Board’s current eligibility and application rules for the second examination before assuming that every candidate can use it in the same way. Schools can help by communicating registration requirements, fee details and any updated procedural instructions once issued.
Building a practical revision calendar
A sensible plan begins with the actual gaps between papers. Students taking Physics on March 4 and Chemistry on March 8, for example, can schedule intensive problem-solving and revision over the intervening days. Commerce students can coordinate preparation for Accountancy, Economics and Business Studies without postponing Mathematics until the final week. Daily practice, adequate sleep and timed sample papers are more reliable than last-minute cramming.

What parents and schools can do
Schools should display the full timetable and help students identify clashes or unusual subject combinations. Parents can support a steady routine, especially where entrance-examination preparation overlaps with PUC subjects. Candidates should verify their subject codes, examination centre and reporting instructions when hall tickets become available.
EduSutra Perspective
A released timetable is more than a calendar: it gives students a chance to replace uncertainty with a realistic study plan. The priority now is consistent preparation, not panic, and careful attention to the official instructions for both examination windows.
