JKBOSE Ends Old Syllabus for Reappear, Failure Candidates

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education has formally discontinued the old syllabus for failure and reappear candidates of Classes 10, 11 and 12, and clarified that no further examinations will be conducted under the outdated scheme.

In an official notification, JKBOSE said the validity of the old syllabus has expired under existing regulations. It said students who had failed earlier or were seeking reappearance will not be granted additional chances under the previous course structure.
