About Karnataka
From 2025–26, Karnataka SSLC pass rules were rewritten so students can pass on a combined internal+external average of 33% (min 206/625) with at least 30% in each subject — replacing the older 35% external-heavy practice.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 1 June of the admission year, then checked against the 4+ minimum for LKG.
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
