About the Kerala State Syllabus (SCERT) exam

How the exam works

This category follows Kerala's SCERT school curriculum. School assessments and public examinations are separate: Pareeksha Bhavan conducts SSLC, and DHSE administers Higher Secondary examinations. Follow the prescribed textbook and the assessment scheme for the student's class.

Official syllabus and textbooks

Read the official class textbooks and current examination notices.

When it happens

The next school assessment date must be confirmed with the school. The 2027 SSLC and Higher Secondary final timetables could not be verified on the official portals during this check. Use Pareeksha Bhavan for SSLC and DHSE for Plus One/Plus Two; do not substitute last year's dates. Status checked 1 November 2026.

Registration and exam-day information

Regular school candidates should confirm registration, subject entries, internal/practical assessments, exam fees, hall tickets and reporting instructions with their school. Exact dates and rules depend on the class and the current board notification.
