83,000 students will appear for the annual regular examination of 12th class in Kashmir division, with the exam due to begin on November 8.
Joint Secretary Examination in J&K Board of School Education (BOSE) Prof Aijaz Hakak said the class 11th examination shall begin from November 8. The date sheet, an official said, will be issued on Monday.
“We have designated 741 examination centres for class 12th class exam in government as well as private educational institutions across the Valley,”
Notably the number of examination centres set up for JK BOSE examination has increased as the board authorities ensure proper distance is maintained between the examinees in the examination halls.
“Only 50 percent seating capacity will be occupied in one exam hall in order to maintain proper distance,” he said.
He said the date sheet for class 12th examination will hopefully be issued on Monday.
Prof. Aijaz Hakak said the Board has not finalized any date for commencement of class 10th annual regular (2021) examination. “The exam will likely commence from November 3rd week. But the date has not been finalized yet. We have only five papers in class 10th which will be managed in the gaps available between class 12th examinations,” he said.
As already reported by this newspaper, the class 11th examination will commence after “the burden of class 12th and 10th examination is eased”.
This year the JK Board has announced 30 percent relaxation in syllabus for classes 10th to 12th students in their annual regular-2021 examination.
