Srinagar, Aug 31: J&K Board of School
Education (BOSE) has decided to promote
students who have passed at least two sub-
jects in their previous exams.
A notification in this regard was issued
by the Director Academics on Monday.
The BOSE has not conducted bi-annual
private exams for class 10 and 12, 2019-20
session, in Kashmir division, and winter
zones of Jammu which were scheduled in
March-April 2020. The exams got deferred
due to COVID19 pandemic.
An official said the body has now
formulated a scheme whereby the stu-
dents who have previously passed two
or more subjects will be promoted to
their next class without appearing in
the exam.
“The students who have already passed
two or more subjects in class 10 shall be
promoted to next higher class by taking
mean of the marks scored in the subjects,”
the notification reads.
It reads that the marks in 5th sub-
ject will be awarded by taking mean of
the marks scored in the already passed
four subjects while the marks in the 4th
fourth subject will be awarded by taking
mean of the marks scored in the already
passed three subjects. It reads that the
marks of 3rd subject will be awarded by
taking mean of two subjects.
“The candidates who are declared pass
by applying this scheme shall be granted
admission in class 11 for current session
in relaxation of 65 percent requirement of
minimum attendance as one time exemp-
tion,” the notification reads.
It states that the students having passed
two or more subjects but having expressed
dissatisfaction over their results declared
after awarding marks by taking mean of
the already passed subjects will be given
an option to appear in the exams as and
when conducted. “For this students have
to apply within eight days of declaration
of results,” it reads.
However, the students who have been
declared as failed or have passed only one
subject in their previous exam will have
to appear in fresh exam likely to be con-
ducted by BOSE in the second quarter of
September 2020.
“All such candidates of class 10 who
are declared successful in the exami-
nation of annual or bi-annual private
2019-2020 shall be allowed to appear in
class 11 examination 2020-21 annual or
bi-annual private session and will be
granted provisional admission in class
12 session 2021-22 respectively,” the
notification reads.
It reads that the provisional admis-
sion of these students who fail to qual-
ify the examination 2020-21 annual/bi-
annual private shall be treated to have
been cancelled and will not be allowed
to appear in the class 12 annual regular
2021-22 examination.
Also, the students who have applied
for divisional improvement or appear-
ing in the additional subject class 12
annual or bi-annual session 2019-2020
will be allowed to appear in the forth-
coming exams scheduled in the second
quarter of September.
