JKBOSE Syllabus Relaxation: Big Update from Board Official, Check Here
Srinagar, 26 September: The debate over syllabus relief for school students in Jammu and Kashmir has turned into one of the biggest education stories of the year. Just weeks ago, the Directorate of School Education in Jammu formally asked the J&K Board of School Education (JKBOSE) to reduce the syllabus for Classes 10th, 11th and 12th by 15–20 per cent or to introduce “open choice” in question papers. Now the Board has said it is still too early to make any such announcement.
In August 2025 the Directorate sent a letter to JKBOSE after consulting all Chief Education Officers of the winter zone districts. The letter explained that different schools have covered different portions of the syllabus because of long closures and irregular classes. Instead of removing certain topics; which could leave some schools at an advantage and others at a disadvantage; the Directorate proposed a uniform reduction or flexible question papers for all.
Education Minister Sakina Itoo also agreed that normal classes had been hit. Schools were closed during Operation Sindoor, a war-like situation that created security restrictions across several districts, and later by flood-like conditions and a prolonged heat wave. Many parents and teachers believed this had left students struggling to complete their syllabus before the annual exams.
