In a move to ensure absolute transparency and efficiency in the ongoing academic assessments, the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has released a critical notification dated November 19, 2025.
The official circular outlines mandatory protocols for all Supervisory Staff—including Superintendents, Deputy Superintendents, and Invigilators—deployed for the SSE (10th), HSP-I (11th), and HSP-II (12th) Session Annual Regular 2025 exams (October-November Session) across the Kashmir Division and District Kargil.
This update is vital for ensuring the “fair and smooth” conduct of examinations. Below, we decode the 7-point directive issued by the Joint Secretary of Examinations.
Critical Directives for Exam Supervisory Staff
The notification (No: F(JSE-KD-Instt)B/2025) emphasizes that these instructions must be followed in “letter and spirit.” Failure to comply could lead to administrative action.
1. Handling Confidential Material
Superintendents are strictly instructed to review the JKBOSE Date Sheet daily. They must collect confidential materials (question papers) from the concerned Police Stations only on the day of the exam, ensuring the correct subject papers are opened to avoid any “wrong opening” of packets.
2. Mandatory Reporting Time
Punctuality is non-negotiable. All Supervisory Staff must report to their respective examination centers at least one hour before the scheduled commencement of the exam.
3. Student Verification Protocol
Before allowing entry into the exam hall, staff must rigorously check:
- Admit Cards: To ensure the student is eligible.
- Valid IDs: To prevent impersonation.
4. Maintaining Decorum & Vigilance
The environment must be kept quiet and distraction-free. Invigilators are tasked with preventing malpractice by being “vigilant but not intrusive,” ensuring students can write their exams without unnecessary disturbance while maintaining strict discipline.
5. Answer Script Verification
Staff must ensure students have correctly filled in their details on the Answer Scripts, specifically checking the Roll Numbers and Series.
The “Golden Rule” for Packing Answer Sheets
The notification places special emphasis (bold and underlined text) on how answer sheets must be processed after the exam. This is a crucial change to streamline evaluation.
“More importantly, all the answer sheets should be packed subject-wise, Roll No.-wise instead of series-wise and be consigned/delivered accordingly.”
What this means: Staff should not sort papers by Question Paper Series (A, B, C, etc.) but rather strictly by the numerical order of student Roll Numbers within that subject.
Emergency Protocols
In the event of any irregularity—whether it be external interference, mass copying attempts, or logistical issues—the staff must inform the exam authorities immediately. Delay in reporting will not be tolerated.

Conclusion
With the Annual Regular 2025 sessions for Classes 10th, 11th, and 12th being a massive logistical operation involving thousands of students across Kashmir and Kargil, these guidelines serve as the backbone of the system. Supervisory staff are the first line of defense in protecting the integrity of these exams.
