JKBOSE Extends Registration Dates for Class 9th Students of Academic Session 2024–25: Detailed Guidelines
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has issued an extension notification regarding the online submission of Registration Returns (RR) for Class 9th students of the academic session 2024–25, who are presently studying in Class 10th in JKBOSE-affiliated schools across the Kashmir Division, including District Kargil. This extension comes as a major relief to thousands of students, parents, and schools who were concerned about completing the registration process within the earlier notified deadlines.
The decision has been formally communicated through Notification No. F(Regn/Extn/RR/9th/Online)25 dated 29th August 2025, signed by the Joint Secretary, Registration, Kashmir Division.
Background of the Notification
The registration process is a mandatory academic procedure for all students moving from Class 9th to Class 10th in JKBOSE-affiliated institutions. Registration Returns (RR) not only provide official enrollment records but also ensure eligibility for appearing in the Class 10th board examinations.
Earlier, JKBOSE had issued Notification Nos. F(AcadC)/Ext-I/RR/IX/24–25/E–7585606/24 dated 3rd June 2025 and F(Regn/Extn/RR/9th/Online)25 dated 28th July 2025, setting deadlines for online submissions. However, due to logistical challenges, late submissions, and the need to accommodate more students, the Board has now granted another extension, thereby preventing students from missing out on this crucial academic requirement.
Revised Dates for Online Registration
According to the fresh notification, students who were enrolled in Class 9th during the academic session 2024–25 and are currently pursuing Class 10th (2025–26 session) in JKBOSE-affiliated institutions or schools in the Kashmir Division and District Kargil can now complete their online registration process between:
- Start Date: 1st September 2025
- Last Date: 10th September 2025
This extended schedule allows students sufficient time to register without undue stress and ensures maximum coverage of eligible candidates.
Registration Fee
The notification clearly mentions that students will have to submit the applicable fee of Rs. 2740/- per candidate. This fee is uniform for all eligible students, and the payment must be made during the online registration process.
Online Registration Procedure
JKBOSE has simplified the process by making it fully online. The link for submission of online forms will be available on the official website of JKBOSE: www.jkbose.nic.in.
Steps to Complete the Registration:
- Visit the official JKBOSE website.
- Navigate to the registration section (Class 9th RR Online).
- Enter the required student details, including enrollment information from Class 9th.
- Upload necessary documents (as per school and board requirements).
- Pay the registration fee of Rs. 2740 online.
- Submit the application form and download/print a confirmation copy for record-keeping.
Students are advised to cross-check all entered details before final submission to avoid discrepancies later.
Applicability of the Extension
This extension is specifically meant for:
- Students who were enrolled in Class 9th during 2024–25.
- Those who are now studying in Class 10th (2025–26).
- Candidates studying in JKBOSE-affiliated schools of the Kashmir Division, including District Kargil.
Students outside this category are not eligible under the current extension.
Terms and Conditions
The notification clearly states that all other terms and conditions as mentioned in the earlier main notification (No. F(Acad-C)RR.IX/24–25/E–7585606/24 dated 30th December 2024) will remain unchanged.
This means:
- Eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and registration rules remain the same.
- Only the last date has been extended.
- No further relaxation in fee or additional exemptions has been announced.
Purpose of Extension
The decision to extend the registration date is intended to ensure that no student is left out of the academic record due to delays or unavoidable circumstances. Every year, JKBOSE receives requests from schools, parents, and students for more time, as many students face challenges related to:
- Technical glitches in online submissions.
- Connectivity issues in remote and hilly areas of Kashmir and Ladakh.
- Delays in document preparation by schools.
- Financial constraints in meeting fee deadlines.
By extending the date till 10th September 2025, the Board has acknowledged these ground realities and attempted to provide a fair opportunity to all.
Responsibility of Schools
The circular also highlights the role of Heads of all Government and Private affiliated institutions. They are instructed to ensure that all eligible students are registered within the extended timeline. Schools are required to guide students, assist them in filling forms, and ensure timely online submissions.
Failure of institutions to comply may result in administrative consequences, as the registration is a compulsory academic process.
Reaction of Students and Parents
The extension has been welcomed by students and parents across the Kashmir Division and Kargil. Many students had expressed concerns about missing the deadline due to delays in arranging the fee or technical issues in online form filling. Parents too had been urging for leniency, especially given the recent disruptions in normal academic schedules due to weather conditions and administrative delays.
This move by JKBOSE is being seen as a student-friendly decision that protects academic careers and prevents unnecessary hardship.
Importance of Registration Returns (RR)
For students, the registration return (RR) process is not just a formality; it has far-reaching significance:
- Eligibility for Class 10th Board Exams: Students cannot appear in the final Class 10th board examination without completing the RR.
- Permanent Record: The RR becomes part of the permanent academic record maintained by JKBOSE.
- Error Correction: This is the stage where schools and students can ensure that all details such as name, parentage, date of birth, and previous academic records are accurate.
- Prevention of Academic Gaps: Missing registration would mean losing an entire academic year, as students without RR cannot be promoted or examined officially.
Administrative Instructions
The notification has been copied to various administrative offices within JKBOSE to ensure implementation:
- Director Academics, Central.
- Joint Secretary, IT&SS, JKBOSE.
- Joint Secretary, General Examinations, Kashmir Division.
- All Deputy/Assistant Secretaries of the Board.
- P.S. to the Secretary/Chairman for information.
- Assistant Secretary, IT&SS wing, Kashmir Division, to upload the notification on the BOSE website.
- Heads of all Govt./Private affiliated institutions.
- Accounts Officer, Kashmir Division.

Conclusion
