Karnataka government has challenged a High Court order directing SSLC exam valuation as per existing rules, opposing its shift from marks to grades for third language papers. The dispute follows the state’s decision to introduce grading, which the court asked to suspend for current exams. The government has filed a review petition, assuring students there will be no major delay in results.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has moved the High Court against a single judge orders to conduct the valuation of the recently conducted SSLC examination as per the existing rules, state minister Madhu Bangarappa has said.

The recent Karnataka HC directive meant awarding marks, not grades for third language papers in the SSLC examination as announced by the government.

The court had earlier this week directed authorities to conduct the valuation of the recently conducted SSLC examination as per the existing rules, when the notification was issued for the examination for the 2025-26 academic year.

The court issued the directive while hearing a petition filed by three students who appeared for the SSLC exam held between March 18 and April 2.
