JKBOSE Class 10 & 12 Biannual Exam Updates: Biannual Private Tests Begin Today

The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has started the Class 10 and 12 biannual and private examinations for the 2025 session from today, September 8, 2025. The exams were postponed due to heavy rains and flood alerts, and are now being held under a revised date sheet that was issued last week.

For this session, Class 12 students will appear in the morning shift (10 AM), while Class 10 students will take their papers in the afternoon shift from 2 PM onwards. The board has requested students to carefully follow the updated schedule and make suitable travel plans, especially those students who are coming from flood-affected areas.

JKBOSE Class 10 & 12 Biannual Exam: Revised Schedule 

The examination series began today with the Social Science paper for Class 10 and Class 12. It will be followed by:

All Class 10 papers will continue in the afternoon session at 2 PM, while Class 12 exams will take place in the morning slot.

Officials from JKBOSE said the decision to revise the timetable was taken in consultation with local authorities, keeping student’s safety as the top priority. “The board is working with district administrations to ensure smooth conduct of the examinations and to facilitate safe transit for both students and staff,” the notice added.

Schools Set to Reopen from September 10

In addition to the exams, there is good news for the institutions. The Directorate of School Education, Jammu, has asked all government and private schools to prepare for the start of schools following a closure of 11 days due to an unpredictable weather. If conditions are good for students, offline classes are expected to resume from September 10, 2025.

Heads of Institutions (HOIs) and teachers must report back for duty from today (September 8) to do a safety and security audit of the school. This is a necessary step for the school to ensure that classrooms, playgrounds and buildings are structurally safe for students to return.

What Students Should Do Next

JKBOSE has advised all students to regularly check the official website for updates and to arrive at exam centres on time despite possible local disruptions. Schools have also been instructed to assist students in flood-affected areas by sharing transportation updates and revised notices.

As the region works to recover from the recent natural calamity, the dual developments of exams resuming and schools preparing to reopen bring a sense of relief to thousands of students and families.
