JKBOSE 10th & 12th Re-Evaluation and Photostat Answer Script 2026: Apply Online, Direct Links, Fee, Steps & Important Instructions

The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has opened the online application process for Re-evaluation and Photostat (Xerox) Copy of Answer Script for Class 10th and Class 12th students. This facility is extremely helpful for students who are not satisfied with their marks and want their answer scripts rechecked, or those who want to verify their evaluated answer sheet by obtaining a photocopy.

With the activation of the official online portals, candidates can now submit their applications directly through JKBOSE’s website. Students are advised to apply within the stipulated deadline and ensure that all required details such as roll number, registration number and subject information are entered correctly.

In this article, we have covered everything you need to know about JKBOSE Re-evaluation and Photocopy Answer Script 2026, including what it means, who can apply, how to apply online step-by-step, important guidelines, benefits, and FAQs.


JKBOSE Re-Evaluation & Photostat Copy 2026 – Overview

Students after the declaration of JKBOSE results often feel that their performance in the exam was better than the marks they received. In such cases, the board offers two important post-result facilities:

  1. Re-evaluation (Rechecking of answer script)
  2. Photostat/Xerox copy of answer script

These services help maintain transparency in evaluation and provide students a fair chance to get their marks reviewed.


What is JKBOSE Re-evaluation?

Re-evaluation is a process where JKBOSE rechecks an answer script for possible errors in evaluation. During re-evaluation, the board ensures that:

  • All answers have been evaluated properly
  • No question has been left unchecked
  • Marks have been totaled correctly
  • Marks have been transferred properly to the result sheet

It is important to understand that re-evaluation does not mean re-writing the paper or re-exam, it is simply a verification of the marks already awarded.

✅ Who should apply for re-evaluation?

Students can consider applying for re-evaluation if:

  • They expected significantly higher marks
  • Their marks do not match their confidence level after exam
  • They believe some answers may have been unchecked
  • Their total seems incorrect

What is JKBOSE Photostat / Xerox Copy of Answer Script?

JKBOSE also provides students the option to obtain a photostat (xerox) copy of their evaluated answer sheet. This helps students to:

  • See how marks were awarded
  • Check for unmarked answers
  • Verify the evaluation pattern
  • Identify mistakes for future exams
  • Decide whether re-evaluation is needed

Photostat copy is also useful for students preparing for competitive exams, as it allows them to understand their exam-writing pattern and areas of improvement.


JKBOSE Re-evaluation vs Photostat Copy – Key Difference

Many students get confused between these two. Here is a simple explanation:

🔹 Re-evaluation

  • JKBOSE rechecks the paper
  • Totals and unchecked answers are verified
  • Marks may increase or remain the same

🔹 Photostat (Xerox Copy)

  • Student receives a copy of the evaluated answer sheet
  • Helps students review their own paper
  • Marks are not changed automatically

👉 Ideally, students can first apply for the photostat copy, check their paper, and then decide if re-evaluation is required.


JKBOSE 10th and 12th Re-evaluation / Photocopy 2026: Important Points

Before applying, keep these important points in mind:

  • The process is completely online
  • Students must provide accurate roll number and registration details
  • Fee once paid is generally non-refundable
  • Re-evaluation does not guarantee increase of marks
  • It is possible that marks remain unchanged after re-evaluation

Eligibility for JKBOSE Re-evaluation / Photostat 2026

The eligibility depends on JKBOSE guidelines, but generally:

✅ Students who have appeared in JKBOSE Board Exams (Class 10th/12th) and whose results are declared can apply.

Students who want re-evaluation or xerox copy must apply only through the official online links.

  • Class (10th / 12th)
  • Stream (for 12th if required)

JKBOPEE Releases Re-Revised Provisional Merit List for NEET PG 2025 (MD/MS/PGD) & Round-3/Mop-Up Counselling Schedule

The J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has issued an important notification for NEET PG 2025 candidates belonging to the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh. The board has published the Re-Revised Provisional Merit List for MD/MS/PG Diploma Courses-2025, along with the online choice filling and counselling schedule for Round-3/Mop-Up admissions.

 

Notification No.: 021-BOPEE of 2026
Date: 30-01-2026
Reference Code: NEET-PG-MDMSPGD-NN-021 Dt. 30-01-2026

The latest notification comes as a key step for candidates who are waiting for Round-3 seat allotment or hoping for upgradation in the Mop-Up counselling round.


Why JKBOPEE Issued the Re-Revised Merit List?

According to JKBOPEE, the revision is a result of developments after the reduction of percentile by NBEMS (National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences). Based on this reduction, the board reopened the online registration portal for eligible and willing NEET PG aspirants from the UT of J&K/Ladakh for admission to MD/MS/PGD Courses – 2025.

Earlier, JKBOPEE published a revised provisional merit list through:

  • Notification No. 009-BOPEE of 2026 dated 15-01-2026
  • Notification No. 019-BOPEE of 2026 dated 25-01-2026

However, after the revised list was uploaded, candidates were allowed to submit objections/representations within the given deadline. The board received two representations, and after verification, the list was updated again—resulting in the Re-Revised Provisional Merit List.


Representations Considered by JKBOPEE

JKBOPEE received representations from the following candidates:

  1. Sheikh Aliya Shafi – request to consider Difficult Area Certificate issued by Director Health Services.
  2. Zahid Manzoor Dar – request to consider EWS certificate.

After verification of documents, JKBOPEE decided:

  • Zahid Manzoor Dar’s EWS category was accepted, since the certificate was issued within the required timeline fixed by the board.
  • Sheikh Aliya Shafi will be allowed provisionally to participate in the counselling process, but must produce a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the competent authority within the prescribed time (at the time of admission if allotted).

Annexures Released With the Notification

JKBOPEE has prepared and uploaded the updated merit lists as:

  • Annexure A: Re-Revised Provisional Merit List
  • Annexure B: Difficult Area Merit List

These annexures are available only on the official JKBOPEE website: www.jkbopee.gov.in.


NEET PG 2025 Round-3 / Mop-Up Online Choice Filling Dates

Candidates listed in Annexure A should note that the online choice filling for Round-3 (Upgradation/Allotment) will be open for a limited duration.

Online Choice Filling Starts: 30-01-2026 (from 3:00 PM onwards)
Last Date: 02-02-2026 (Midnight)

Candidates are advised not to wait for the last moment and must ensure that preferences are filled correctly within the deadline.


Who is Eligible for Round-3 / Mop-Up Counselling?

JKBOPEE has clearly stated the categories of candidates eligible to participate in the 3rd Round/Mop-Up online counselling.

Eligible candidates include:

1) Candidates with No Seat in Round-1 or Round-2

Candidates who did not get any seat in the 1st/2nd round are eligible.

2) Candidates Who Got a Seat and Joined

Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round-1 or Round-2 and have joined the college/institution.

3) Candidates Who Were Allotted Seat but Could Not Join

Candidates allotted seat in Round-1/2 but couldn’t join due to reasons like:

  • deficient documents,
  • invalid documents,
  • non-payment of fee,
  • non-reporting.

4) Candidates Who Resigned

Candidates who have resigned from the allotted seat in Round-1/2 at the allotted institution.

5) Candidates Who Qualified NEET PG 2025 But Didn’t Participate Earlier

Even candidates who did not participate in Round-1/2 can participate in Round-3/Mop-Up, but they must pay counselling fee and fill preferences.


Counselling Fee for Round-3/Mop-Up

JKBOPEE has stated that candidates who did not participate earlier and are joining now in Round-3 must pay:

💳 Counselling Fee: ₹2000/- (Non-refundable)

Important points:

  • Only candidates who paid fee + filled online preferences will be considered for allotment.
  • Candidates who already paid counselling fee in Round-1/2 do not need to pay again.

Seat Allotment Rules in Mop-Up Round

JKBOPEE has also clarified how vacant seats will be allotted in this round.

Key rules include:

  • Only vacant seats will be filled.
  • Vacant seats in OM category will go to OM candidates.
  • Vacant seats in reserved categories will go to candidates of that category as per merit and preferences.
  • If reserved category seats remain vacant due to non-availability of candidates, they may be converted to OM seats as per: Section 09(2) of J&K Reservation Act, 2004

Important Instructions for Candidates

JKBOPEE has issued several important counselling instructions. Candidates must take special note:

Fill Maximum Preferences

Since counselling is online, candidates should fill as many choices as possible to maximize chances of seat allotment/upgradation.

Only Annexure-A Candidates Eligible

Only candidates who figure in Annexure A of the notification will be considered for Round-3 allotment/upgradation.

Seat Matrix Availability

The seat matrix will be uploaded on JKBOPEE website before the choice filling begins.

No Guarantee of Admission

Mere preference filling does not guarantee admission; final admission depends on verification of documents at the allotted institution.

Hindu Minority (HM) Management Quota

Counselling for Management Quota HM seats will be conducted separately as and when notified.


Where to Check the Merit List and Counselling Updates?

Candidates should regularly check:

  • Official website: www.jkbopee.gov.in
  • Notifications and seat matrices will be uploaded there only.

The release of the Re-Revised Provisional Merit List NEET PG 2025 by JKBOPEE is a crucial update for MD/MS/PG Diploma aspirants belonging to the UT of J&K/Ladakh. Candidates must carefully verify their merit positions, ensure fee payment (if applicable), and complete Round-3/Mop-Up choice filling between 30-01-2026 (3 PM) and 02-02-2026 (midnight).

To avoid mistakes or missing out on seat allotment, candidates should fill maximum choices, stay updated with JKBOPEE notices, and keep required documents ready.

Gold Price Crashes, Silver Tumbles After Record Rally: Why Precious Metals Fell Sharply (Explained)

Gold Price Crashes, Silver Tumbles After Record Rally: Why Precious Metals Fell Sharply (Explained)

A sudden and sharp sell-off hit the precious metals market, pulling gold and silver down from their record highs. After a strong rally through early 2026, profit booking and a stronger US dollar triggered a rapid correction, with investors turning cautious across global markets.

According to a report by LiveMint, gold prices dropped sharply (around 8% from record high levels) while silver corrected even more (around 11% from its peak) as the rally reversed abruptly.


Gold and Silver Price Crash: What Happened?

Gold and silver witnessed heavy selling pressure after touching all-time highs. The correction was particularly steep because both metals had already moved up strongly in recent months, making them vulnerable to sudden profit-taking.

Key highlights from the market move:

  • Spot gold fell more than 8% from its record peak.
  • Spot silver slipped more than 11% from its record highs.
  • Gold also logged one of its sharpest single-day falls in months, due to aggressive selling.

Why Did Gold and Silver Prices Fall Suddenly?

Experts believe the fall happened due to multiple factors working together — not just one reason.

1) Heavy Profit Booking After Strong Rally

Gold and silver had gained massively over the recent period. LiveMint noted that gold surged nearly 25% in January, while silver gained over 60% in the same month. After such a steep rise, investors began exiting at higher levels to lock profits.

This “profit-taking” is common after a strong rally — especially when prices start appearing stretched.


2) Stronger US Dollar Pressured Gold

Gold prices generally move inversely with the US dollar. When the dollar strengthens, gold becomes more expensive for buyers using other currencies, reducing demand.

The strengthening dollar played a major role in the selloff, pushing gold and silver lower.


3) Risk-Off Mood in Markets and Spillover Selling

Global equity markets were under pressure due to volatility, and the selloff extended into other assets too.

When markets enter “risk-off mode,” investors sell multiple assets to reduce exposure — even safe assets like gold sometimes get sold to raise cash.


4) Fed-Related Uncertainty and Hawkish Speculation

Another reason behind the fall was speculation around the US Federal Reserve, including rumours that the Fed may get a more hawkish chair — which could delay rate cuts or lead to tighter financial conditions.

Higher interest rates or hawkish policy expectations reduce gold’s appeal because gold does not offer interest income.


What Analysts Are Saying

Market analysts were quoted saying the precious metals rally had become too “frothy,” and even a small trigger was enough to cause a sharp correction.

One expert pointed out that in a major equity correction, investors may liquidate gold positions to rotate money back into equities later.


What It Means for Investors in India

For Indian buyers, gold prices are also influenced by:

  • USD-INR exchange rate
  • Import duty
  • Domestic demand (wedding season, festivals)
  • MCX movements

So even if global gold falls, Indian prices may not fall by the same percentage — but global corrections do usually impact Indian markets quickly.


Is This the End of the Gold Rally?

Not necessarily.

This move looks like a correction after a record rally, not a full reversal (unless fresh negative triggers appear). LiveMint highlighted that after such strong gains, the rally appeared stretched and a correction was “overdue.”

Gold and silver markets remain sensitive to:

  • US Fed policy signals
  • Dollar strength
  • Geo-political tensions
  • Inflation trends

The latest fall in gold and silver prices was driven mainly by profit booking after a massive rally, supported by US dollar strength, broader market volatility, and Fed policy uncertainty. While the correction is sharp, it does not automatically mean the long-term bullish trend is over.
