Pertinently, JKBOSE had announced a 15 percent syllabus relaxation for students of Classes 10, 11 and 12 for the 2025 annual regular examinations.
According to a notification issued by the Director Academics, the decision was taken following recommendations from the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK), Directorate of School Education Jammu (DSEJ), and other stakeholders, citing delayed commencement of the academic session and disruptions caused by heatwaves, torrential rains, cloudbursts and floods.
“As approved by the competent authority, it is notified that the prospective eligible students appearing in Classes 10th, 11th and 12th in the ensuing annual regular, 2025 examinations in the Kashmir Division and winter zone areas of the Jammu Division, including the UT of Ladakh, shall attempt 85 percent marks corresponding to 100 percent marks, thus availing 15 percent relaxation in syllabus,” the notification reads.
