About the KSEAB SSLC FL Urdu Exam

Karnataka KSEAB SSLC First Language Urdu is the Class 10 public examination language paper for students who offer Urdu as First Language under the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board. Official assessment is conducted in Urdu (Perso-Arabic / Nastaliq script) as a mixed written language paper under code 12U (commonly about 100 marks; duration often about 3 hours 15 minutes — confirm date sheet), covering prose, poetry, grammar, vocabulary, figures of speech, idioms/proverbs, and composition aligned to the Class 10 First Language Urdu syllabus.
