JKBOSE Class 8th Result in Kashmir & Jammu Divisions to be Declared Simultaneously: Principal Secy SED

The delay in the announcement of class 8th results has been a major concern for the students, parents, and teachers in Kashmir and Jammu divisions. However, the Education Department (SED) has recently announced that the results of the class 8th examination will be declared simultaneously for all schools in Kashmir and Jammu. This decision comes amid the completion of the examination around a month ago and the delay in announcing the results in soft zone areas.

In an interview with Greater Kashmir, Principal Secretary (SED) Alok Kumar said that the results of the class 8th examination will be declared simultaneously in Kashmir and Jammu divisions. He further added that the class 8th examination is still going on in Jammu and they will wait for them to complete the examination before announcing the results. The Education Department has adopted a Uniform Academic Calendar, so the results should be declared on the same day as well.

The Term II examination of class 8th students commenced from February 27 and ended on March 10 in soft zone areas of Kashmir and Jammu division followed by commencement of exams in hard zone areas from March 24 that is scheduled to culminate on April 8. However, the parents of the students falling in soft zone areas have been demanding the declaration of the result of their kids as the exams in these areas ended in early March.

An official at SCERT Kashmir stated that they compiled the result of soft zone areas on March 20 but were waiting for the official nod to announce it. The students are sitting idle as no class work has started in schools for 9th class students. All are waiting for the announcement of the result. The students in government schools are without textbooks despite the commencement of a new academic session for junior classes almost two weeks ago.

The delay in the announcement of results has not only affected the students but also the distribution of textbooks and uniforms among the government school students. However, days after the report, the J&K Board of School Education (BOSE) has notified the schedule for distribution of textbooks among the schools. As per the JKBOSE notification, the process for distribution of books is scheduled to start from April 5.
