Attention students: J&K BOSE to issue date sheet for Class 10 to 12 exams in coming days

Srinagar: Ending uncertainty, Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) is set to issue date sheet for Class X  to XII exams this month.

The exams are scheduled to be held in March. BOSE has finalized the preparations and the date sheet will be issued anytime soon.

`Very shortly (we are issuing a date sheet). We will issue the date sheet this month only. We are working on it. Exams will be held in March,” Manisha Sarin, secretary, BOSE, told The Kashmir Monitor.

Last year in August, the government shifted the academic session to March in sync with National Education Policy (NEP).

“The theory examination in UT of Jammu and Kashmir be conducted from the first week of March as per the present Academic calendar of Jammu Summer Zone (except in difficult areas of Jammu region) and some areas of Kashmir region,” said the government order,

Furthermore, the examination in these difficult areas shall be delayed and held from the 2nd week of April as per the calendar proposed when these areas are fully accessible and the delivery of the examination stationary and confidential material is ensured.

“Even though if examination in these difficult areas shall be conducted separately, the result of these examinations can be declared simultaneously, as although the difficult areas constitute approx. 30-35% of the area of the UT, the total number of students from these areas is not more than approx. 10-12%, since the areas are sparsely populated and the evaluation of Answer Scripts shall take less time.”

As per the ‘Uniform Academic calendar, the students who appear in Class 10 and 11 examinations shall be provisionally admitted in Class 11th and 12th respectively after the conclusion of the Board examination.

“Students, who are declared unsuccessful in the results, shall be permitted to continue their studies in Class 11th and 12th till the result of the Biannual/Annual Private examination are declared. In respect of the candidates who fail to pass in Bi-annual examination, provisional admission shall be canceled,” the order said.
