Established in 1966, Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) is responsible for managing the education system all across the state and conducting state level examinations like Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC). The board regulates and supervises the system of Secondary education in Karnataka State. It executes and governs various activities that include devising of courses of study, prescribing syllabus, conducting examinations, granting recognitions to schools and, providing direction, support and leadership for all secondary educational institutions under its jurisdiction.

These examinations will be held in June and will enable the successful students to go for higher educational courses in the same academic year.
