Detailed Instructions for Submission (As per JKBOSE Guidelines)
To maintain uniformity, transparency, and error-free records, JKBOSE has listed seven key instructions that every institution must strictly follow while preparing and submitting the internal assessment awards.
1. Prescribed Formats Must Be Used
Marks for both Class 10 and Class 12 must be recorded on official prescribed formats that can be downloaded from the official website of JKBOSE — www.jkbose.nic.in.
Separate formats are available for SSE (10th) and HSP-II (12th) classes.
2. Awards Must Be Error-Free and Legible
Institutions must ensure that all entries are legible, clean, and free from cutting or overwriting. Use of whiteners or corrections in any form is strictly prohibited.
Any discrepancy or tampering in the marksheets will render them invalid.
3. Absent Candidates Must Be Marked Properly
If a candidate is absent, it must be clearly indicated as “Absent” against the Roll Number.
No roll number column should be left blank under any circumstances.
4. Proper Attestation and Signatures Required
The Internal Assessment Awards must be submitted in duplicate copies.
Each copy must bear the proper signatures of subject examiners, duly attested by the Head of the Institution.
Unsigned or unauthenticated records will not be accepted.
5. Submission via Sub/Branch Offices Only
JKBOSE has made it clear that no internal assessment will be accepted through email or post.
All awards must be routed through the concerned Sub/Branch Offices and then to the Divisional Office, Jammu.
This ensures authenticity and proper record maintenance.
6. Complete Roll Numbers Must Be Mentioned
Each internal assessment award must mention the complete examination roll numbers of the candidates to avoid confusion during evaluation and data entry.

All Government and Private Institutions of Jammu Division must maintain:
- A copy of the internal assessment record (candidate-wise and subject-wise).
- The record must be duly signed by the concerned Examiner, Examination Incharge, and Principal/Head of Institution (HOI).
- This record will be essential for future consultations or verification by JKBOSE authorities.
Accountability of Heads of Institutions
The notification also highlights accountability for institutional heads.
If any institution fails to submit the internal assessment awards within the stipulated time, or fails to comply with the instructions, the responsibility will entirely lie on the Head of the Institution.

JKBOSE has clarified that any such mistake may lead to non-acceptance of the assessment awards or delayed results.
