JKBOSE Issues Crucial Notification for Submission of Internal Assessment Awards for Class 12th Annual Private/Bi-Annual 2025 Session
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has recently issued an important notification for all Government and Private educational institutions functioning in the Kashmir Division, including the Soft and Hard Zones, as well as the Kargil region. This notification concerns the timely submission of Internal Assessment Awards for all eligible candidates appearing for the Higher Secondary Examination Part II (Class 12th) Annual Private/Bi-Annual Session 2025.
This notification holds significant importance for Heads of Institutions, teachers, students, and parents alike. By ensuring proper compliance with the instructions laid down by JKBOSE, educational institutions can help maintain the transparency and credibility of the internal assessment process, which plays a pivotal role in determining the final results of students.
What the Notification Says
As per the official circular, Heads of Institutions must submit the Internal Assessment Awards of their respective students to the concerned Divisional Secrecy, Sub, or Branch Offices of JKBOSE on or before 04 August 2025. Furthermore, the Heads of Sub or Branch Board Offices are required to compile these awards according to the Centre Notices and forward them to the Office of the Deputy Secretary, Secrecy-IIIrd, Kashmir Division, by or before 06 August 2025.
This two-step deadline emphasizes the importance of timely and organized submissions. Any failure to adhere to these deadlines could result in penalties as per Board norms, which could adversely affect students’ results and overall institutional credibility.
Why Internal Assessments Matter
Internal Assessments form an integral part of the overall evaluation system for Class 12th students under JKBOSE. Unlike final examinations, which test a student’s performance on one or two days, internal assessments reflect consistent performance throughout the academic session.
These assessments may include periodic tests, practical work, project work, assignments, attendance, and other activities that gauge a student’s engagement and understanding of the subject. The marks awarded under internal assessments are combined with external exam scores to determine the final results, making them critical for students aiming to secure higher education admissions or scholarships.
Thus, any discrepancy, delay, or negligence in compiling and submitting these awards can directly impact the academic future of thousands of students.
Detailed Instructions for Institutions
The notification outlines specific guidelines to ensure the submission process is smooth and error-free:
- Use of Prescribed Formats:
The internal assessment marks must be awarded only on the duly prescribed formats. These formats are available for download on the official website of JKBOSE — www.jkbose.nic.in. Using only the authorized formats will help maintain uniformity and avoid confusion during compilation and processing. - Legible and Error-Free Submission:
It is mandatory that the awards submitted are legible, neatly written, and completely free of overwriting, cutting, or the use of correction fluids. Such malpractices can cause delays, confusion, and potential rejection of records, which could ultimately jeopardize students’ results. - Submission in Duplicate:
The Heads of Institutions must ensure that the internal assessment awards are submitted in duplicate against each student’s complete examination Roll Number. The documents must also bear the clear signatures of the concerned subject examiner and be attested by the Head of the Institution. This measure guarantees authenticity and accountability. - Maintenance of Records:
All institutions, both Government and Private, functioning under the Kashmir Division and Kargil region must maintain a proper record of the internal assessments for each student. This record must be duly signed by the concerned subject teacher, Examination In-charge, and the Head of Institution (HOI). Maintaining this record is crucial for future reference, audits, or in case of disputes raised by students or parents. - Timely Submission is Mandatory:
Heads of Institutions must ensure the awards are submitted strictly within the stipulated deadlines. Any delay in submission will attract penalties as per the Board’s rules and regulations. The notification makes it clear that late submission will not be entertained under any circumstances, except under valid and documented reasons. - Responsibility for Discrepancies:
Any errors, discrepancies, or misreporting of marks will hold the concerned institution responsible. Heads of Institutions are urged to cross-check the compiled awards meticulously to prevent any inconvenience or injustice to students.
Implications for Stakeholders
For Students:
This notification reiterates the importance of regular attendance, participation, and performance in internal activities. Students should remain vigilant about their internal marks, seek clarifications in case of discrepancies, and ensure their records are accurately reflected in the final awards submitted to JKBOSE.
For Parents:
Parents must engage with schools to understand how internal assessments are conducted and ensure that their wards actively participate in all internal tests and practical work. In case of any concerns, they should communicate with school authorities well before the deadline.
For Teachers and Examination In-charges:
Teachers play a direct role in awarding internal marks. It is their responsibility to ensure marks are fair, transparent, and based on actual performance. Examination In-charges must coordinate with subject teachers and Heads of Institutions to compile and verify all records before submission.
