Srinagar, August 17: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education on Sunday announced the postponement of the bi-annual examinations for classes 10th and 11th, scheduled to be held on August 18, 2025, across the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir as well as in Leh and Kargil districts of Ladakh UT.
Officials said that the new dates for the examinations will be notified separately.
The decision was taken after the District Magistrate Kathua ordered the closure of all schools in the district in view of the inclement weather and cloudburst, which had raised serious concerns over the safety of students.
“All centre superintendents and jurisdictional SHOs have been directed to ensure that the postponement orders are conveyed in time.
Instructions have also been issued to sub and branch officers to circulate the announcement across official WhatsApp groups for wider dissemination,” officials added. [KNT]
