Major Relief for Students: 15% Syllabus Relaxation Announced
In a significant move, JKBOSE has eased the academic burden by granting a 15% syllabus relaxation for Classes 10, 11, and 12 for the upcoming session.
Why the relaxation?
- Late start of academic session
- Extreme summer heat
- Heavy rains and flood-related disruptions
How it works:
- Students will only be required to attempt 85% of the question paper, which will be calculated as 100% during evaluation.
- Question papers will follow the revised syllabus.
- Internal choice and MCQ structure will remain student-friendly — every MCQ will be awarded marks individually, including those in language grammar sections.
What Students Should Keep in Mind
- Attempt at least 85% marks worth of questions to qualify for full marking.
- Go through the revised syllabus — older versions may not align with the updated paper pattern.
- Expect more internal choices and lenient marking for objective-type questions.
With both clear exam dates and reduced syllabus pressure, students now have a defined structure to plan their preparation efficiently. JKBOSE’s move is being widely welcomed as a balanced response to academic disruptions faced throughout the year.
