Srinagar, Nov 4: Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education today gave an option to the students of 10th and 12th classes whose annual examinations are scheduled to be held in the third week of this month to appear in their exams in March 2017 but without any concession or choice.
Talking to Excelsior, BOSE chairman, Prof Zahoor Ahmad Chatt said that on the demands of students, they have now decided to give March option to the students of 10th and 12th for their exams. “Following the demands from of a section of students, we decided to give March 2017 option to both 10th and 12th class students who were supposed to appear in exams this month,” he said.
However, the Board chairman said, there will be no concession or choice to those students who will appear in March 2017 for their examinations. “We have announced 50 percent choice in papers for the students who are appearing in exams this month but this choice won’t be for the students appearing in March 2017. The paper pattern for them will be what used to be earlier with no curtailment in syllabus,” he said.
The BOSE chairman further said that “majority of students” are ready to appear in November only for their examinations. Asked why BOSE didn’t make this announcement earlier when there was no controversy, he said: “That time we had not even thought about 50 percent choice.”
