The Minister for Education Sakina Itoo today said that students appearing for exams in mid-November will receive relaxation in the syllabus.
This decision comes after the academic session shift from March to November, requiring students to take exams earlier than usual.
Sakina Itoo cited the winter zone’s probability of snowfall as the reason for conducting exams in mid-November, rather than delaying them further.
The exams, initially scheduled for March, will now be conducted in mid-November. To address concerns, the Minister assured that the problems of students will be taken into account, and relaxation in the syllabus will be provided to students up to class 9 after consulting stakeholders
“This will alleviate the concerns of students and parents in Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring a smoother transition to the new academic schedule,” Sakina Itoo told the news agency Kashmir News Trust.
Meanwhile, schools have started issuing admission notifications for lower standards due to the shift in the academic calendar. [KNT]
