JKBOSE Postpones Class 10 & 11 Exams, Schools Reopen in Jammu and Kashmir

The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has officially postponed the Class 10 and 11 bi-annual examinations that were scheduled for September 10, 2025. The decision follows unrest in the Doda region after the detention of Aam Aadmi Party legislator Mehraj Malik under the Public Safety Act. The situation led to restrictions on public movement and transportation, making it difficult for students to reach their examination centers safely.

As of now, JKBOSE has not announced new dates for the postponed exams. Officials have urged students to regularly check the board's official website for updates. This announcement has created anxiety among students who were preparing for their exams, but education authorities have assured that the exams will be rescheduled soon with adequate notice to avoid further disruption.

While the exam schedule faces uncertainty, schools in Jammu and Kashmir reopened on Wednesday after being closed for over a week due to severe rainfall and landslides. The shutdown, which began on September 4, was implemented as a precaution to safeguard students, parents, and school staff. With improved weather conditions, the administration has directed principals to inspect school buildings for safety before resuming offline classes. Chief education officers have also been tasked with monitoring the reopening process and reporting compliance.

During the closure, many schools attempted to conduct online classes to ensure continuity in learning. However, connectivity issues in hilly areas meant not all students could participate. Officials stated that maintaining student safety remains the top priority, but minimizing academic disruption is equally important.
