Examination Details
The SSLC examinations were held from March 5 to March 30, 2026, across 3,031 centres in the state. Valuation of answer scripts was carried out between April 14 and May 2.
In addition to the mainland centres, 386 students appeared from nine centres in Lakshadweep. In the Gulf region, 633 students had registered from seven centres. However, due to the prevailing war situation in West Asia, these students were granted exemption and provided with alternative provisions.
The high pass percentage continues Kerala’s consistent record of excellent performance in school-level public examinations, even as the number of students securing the highest grade has come down compared to the previous year.
