“Which portal do I use for KSEEB school login? The circular says KSEAB but we only knew KSEEB.” This is a genuinely common question among headmasters and teachers (ಮುಖ್ಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರು) across Karnataka right now — and it makes sense, because KSEEB was renamed KSEAB back in October 2022, and plenty of people are still searching under the old name out of habit. Both names refer to the same examination board after the 2022 rename, and the older KSEEB links commonly redirect to the current KSEAB portal. Even so, it’s best to bookmark kseab.karnataka.gov.in, which is the current official website.
This guide explains both portal names clearly, walks through the login process, and covers everything from SSLC registration to NMMS to hall ticket download.
For school login (ಶಾಲೆ ಲಾಗಿನ್): kseab.karnataka.gov.in. For School Activity, i.e. SSLC exam work specifically: kseeb.karnataka.gov.in/schoolLogin — this older URL still works and redirects to the same place. Some older circulars and bookmarks may also refer to sslc.karnataka.gov.in; if that address redirects, it will take you to the current KSEAB services, and if it doesn’t, going to kseab.karnataka.gov.in directly is the safer bet.
KSEEB vs KSEAB — What Actually Changed
This is the part most guides skip entirely.
| KSEEB (Old) | KSEAB (New) | |
|---|---|---|
| Full Form | Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board | Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board |
| Changed When | Before October 2022 | October 2022 onwards |
| Portal | kseeb.karnataka.gov.in | kseab.karnataka.gov.in |
| Status | Redirects to KSEAB | Active official portal |
The bottom line is that the board continues to perform the same examination functions after the restructuring, although its official name and portal changed in 2022 — the change came when the Department of Pre-University Education merged with KSEEB, and the combined body took the new name and a new portal. Any circular from the Department of Education (ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆ) that mentions kseab.karnataka.gov.in is pointing to the current official URL, and that’s the one worth bookmarking going forward.
KSEAB/KSEEB School Login — Step by Step
Karnataka school headmasters and teachers use this portal for all SSLC-related work throughout the year.
- Open the portal — either kseeb.karnataka.gov.in/schoolLogin/views/loginpage.aspx for School Activity work, or go directly through kseab.karnataka.gov.in.
- Enter your User ID (the unique school ID provided by the Department) and Password (issued by the Department or the concerned education authorities to the school).
- Fill in the captcha exactly as shown.
- Click Login — the school dashboard opens with all available school activities.
Once logged in, the dashboard covers SSLC student registration, exam fee challan printing, hall ticket download, circulars and official notifications, NMMS scholarship work, and student data entry and updates.
A new school, or credentials that never arrived? Contact the Block Education Officer (BEO) or DDPI office directly rather than waiting — this isn’t something the portal itself can resolve.
SSLC Student Registration — How Schools Do It
Every year, SSLC exam registration happens through the school login portal, and it’s arguably the most critical task on any headmaster’s calendar.
The following dates relate to the 2026 SSLC examination cycle and are provided only as a reference to illustrate the usual process — registration schedules, fee deadlines and examination dates are notified separately every academic year. Last date to upload student information was November 29, 2025; the exam fee challan printing window ran November 17–21, 2025; challan deposit at the bank was due by November 24, 2025; and SSLC Exam 1 ran March 18 to April 2, 2026.
The process itself: log in, find “SSLC Registration” or “Student Registration” on the dashboard, and enter the student’s details exactly as required by the official instructions and supporting records (such as Aadhaar, where applicable) — full name, date of birth, category details, parent details, and a passport-size photo. Verify everything carefully before submitting, then print the exam fee challan and deposit it at the bank, keeping the receipt safe.
The verification step matters more than it might seem. If a student’s name goes in wrong, that same wrong name shows up on the hall ticket (ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ) and eventually the SSLC certificate (ಎಸ್ಎಸ್ಎಲ್ಸಿ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಪತ್ರ) — and correcting it after the fact is a genuinely lengthy process. Double-checking every entry before submission saves a lot of trouble later.
NMMS Scholarship — How Schools Apply Through the Portal
NMMS, the National Means cum Merit Scholarship (ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಪ್ರತಿಭಾ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ in Kannada), is for meritorious Class 8 students. The school login dashboard has its own “NMMS” or “Scholarship” section, where schools prepare the list of eligible students, upload their details, verify and submit documents, and get the application in before the deadline.
Eligibility generally requires a minimum of 55% marks in Class 7 (50% for SC/ST students), family income below ₹3.5 lakh per year, and enrollment in a Government or Government-aided school. Eligibility criteria, income limits and qualifying marks are governed by the current NMMS notification and may change — schools should always verify the latest notification issued for the relevant academic year rather than relying on this as the final word.
Hall Ticket Download
Before every SSLC exam, schools download hall tickets (ಹಾಜರಾತಿ ಚೀಟಿ / ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ) and distribute them to students. After logging in, select the academic year and examination, then download the hall ticket PDF available for your school — all student hall tickets come as a single PDF, ready to print and distribute before the exam date.
Hall tickets carry the student’s photo, roll number, exam centre, and schedule, and carrying it to the exam centre is compulsory on every exam day.
Marksheet Verification and Correction
For marksheet-related work after the SSLC exam, there’s a separate portal at kseeb.karnataka.gov.in/sslconline, covering Marksheet Verification Login, Duplicate Marksheet Login, Marksheet Correction Login, and Digital Volume Verification Login.
FAQ
What is the correct KSEEB school login portal URL now? The board is now called KSEAB, and the official portal is kseab.karnataka.gov.in. The older kseeb.karnataka.gov.in/schoolLogin URL still works and redirects there automatically.
Who receives the school login credentials? The school’s Headmaster gets credentials from the Department of Education. If they never arrived, the Block Education Officer (BEO) or DDPI office is the right place to follow up.
Is KSEEB the same as KSEAB? Yes — KSEEB was renamed KSEAB in October 2022 when it merged with the Department of Pre-University Education. Same board, same functions, new name and portal.
When does SSLC Registration happen? Generally every October–November. For the 2026 SSLC exam, registration ran in November 2025; dates for the following year are typically announced around September–October.
When is the hall ticket available to download? For SSLC Exam 1, hall tickets were available in March 2026; Exam 2 and Exam 3 hall tickets followed in May–June 2026. Exact dates shift year to year.
Can students log in to this portal directly? No — this portal is strictly for school headmasters and teachers. Students get their SSLC results and hall tickets through their school.
What is KSEAB School Activity? It’s the section of the portal (ಶಾಲೆ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆ) where schools manage all official work — registrations, circulars, deadlines, and exam-related tasks through the academic year.
Is the KSEEB website closed? No. KSEEB was renamed KSEAB in 2022. Older KSEEB links may redirect to the current KSEAB portal, but for the latest services and notifications, kseab.karnataka.gov.in is the official website to use.
For ಶಾಲೆ ಲಾಗಿನ್ (school login), the short version is this: KSEEB was the old name, KSEAB is the current one — the official name and primary website changed, while the portal continues to provide the same core examination-related services. Student registration, hall tickets, NMMS — all of it happens from this one portal, whichever name you searched to get here.
This information is based on the official KSEAB portal, kseab.karnataka.gov.in. Portal features and academic calendars are updated every year, so it’s worth checking the official portal for the latest specifics before relying on any date mentioned here.
