1 JKBOSE Revises Question Paper Format Under New Syllabus for Class 10th–12th Exams 2026

JKBOSE Mandates New Syllabus Question Papers for Old Course Students in 2026 Exams

The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has released an official notice on December 31, 2025, announcing a major change in the question paper framework for students registered under the old course. The decision applies to Class 10th, 11th, and 12th candidates appearing in the Annual Private / Bi-Annual Examinations 2026.

As per the notification issued by JKBOSE Headquarters, all question papers for re-appear and failure candidates of the old course will now be prepared exclusively from the New Syllabus and updated Courses of Study. The board has clearly stated that the old syllabus will no longer be used for setting question papers.

This move brings old-course candidates at par with regular students by ensuring that everyone is assessed on the same academic syllabus.

Students Covered Under the New JKBOSE Rule

The revised policy will impact the following groups:

Class 10th (Secondary School Examination) candidates under the old course

Class 11th (Higher Secondary Part-I) old course candidates

Class 12th (Higher Secondary Part-II) old course candidates

Students appearing in Annual Private or Bi-Annual Examinations 2026

Re-appear and failure candidates registered under the old syllabus scheme

The rule is applicable to Private and Bi-Annual Examinations 2026

The decision comes into force immediately from the date of notification

Ensure uniform assessment standards

Bring all examinees under a single, updated curriculum

Eliminate confusion caused by parallel syllabi

Strengthen academic consistency and evaluation quality

JKBOSE further clarified that the syllabus currently followed by regular students will now be treated as the standard reference for old-course candidates as well.
