The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) is facing a serious delay in announcing the Class 10 and Class 12 results for the Annual Regular 2025 examinations. These exams were held during the October–November session, mainly for students in the Kashmir Valley and winter zones of Jammu.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
The main reason behind the delay is the vacant post of JKBOSE Chairman, which has disrupted the final approval process for results.
Why Is the Chairman’s Post Important?
The position of JKBOSE Chairman has been vacant for over one year, since the previous chairman’s term ended in late 2024 or early 2025. Recently, even temporary arrangements ended, leaving the board without a full-time or interim head.
Although there were reports in early January 2026 that Prof. Wahid Makhdoomi, Registrar of the Islamic University of Science and Technology, would be appointed after cabinet clearance, no official order has been issued so far.
This leadership gap has drawn criticism from:
- Political parties such as BJP and PDP
- Parent-teacher associations
- Student groups and civil society members
Why Results Are Still Not Declared
According to JKBOSE officials:
- Class 10 results are already ready and have been prepared for more than a week.
- Class 12 results are in the final stage of preparation.
However, JKBOSE rules clearly state that results cannot be declared without approval from the Result Declaration Committee, which must be chaired by the JKBOSE Chairman.
Because there is no chairman in place, the committee cannot meet, and the results remain on hold despite the evaluation work being nearly complete.
Warning Against Fake Result Links
JKBOSE has advised students and parents to:
- Ignore rumours, fake links, and unofficial websites
- Check updates only on the official website: jkbose.nic.in
The board has stressed that no results will be published anywhere else.
Impact on Students
The delay is affecting a huge number of students across Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh:
- Over 95,000 students are impacted overall
- Around 94,000–95,000 students appeared for Class 10 exams alone
- Exams were conducted at nearly 995 centres
This uncertainty has caused stress and anxiety among students and parents, especially regarding:
- College admissions
- Stream selection
- Career planning
When Are the Results Expected?
Officials have assured that:
- Results will be announced immediately or within a few days once a chairman is appointed
- The government is expected to make an interim or additional charge appointment in the third week of January 2026
Once this happens, the Result Declaration Committee can meet and clear the results without further delay.
Final Word for Students
The delay is due to administrative issues, not problems with exam checking or marking. Students are advised to:
- Stay calm
- Avoid misinformation
- Regularly visit jkbose.nic.in for official updates
The announcement is expected very soon once the leadership issue is resolved.
