JKBOSE Class 10 Exams Scheduled with Syllabus Relief
Along with the timing changes, the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has announced that Class 10 annual examinations will be conducted from November 3 to 27, 2025. Students will receive a 15% syllabus relaxation for these exams. This relief comes in response to significant academic delays experienced throughout the year.
