The 2026 SSLC exam is expected to be  mostly similar to the 2024–2025 pattern, with no sudden major changes. The paper will likely include a mix of MCQs, short answers, and long/descriptive questions, with an increasing focus on competency-based and application-type questions rather than pure memorization. Overall, students who focus on concept clarity, regular revision, and solving previous year/sample papers should find the exam manageable.
