JKBOSE Class 11 Students Demand Exam Postponement Due to Snowfall; Viral Video Sparks Debate

Introduction The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) Class 11 students have urged the board to postpone their annual exams due to heavy snowfall and inclement weather conditions. However, despite growing concerns from students and parents, the board has decided to conduct the exams as per the pre-scheduled JKBOSE Class 11 board exam timetable 2025.

This decision has sparked widespread debate, especially after a viral video showed a student allegedly using a mobile phone inside the examination hall. Concerns over out-of-syllabus questions have further fueled criticism towards the JKBOSE.

JKBOSE Class 11 Exam 2025: Students and Parents Urge Postponement

The JKBOSE Class 11 board exam for soft zone areas commenced on February 18, 2025. However, due to continuous snowfall and moderate to heavy rainfall, students have voiced their concerns regarding accessibility and safety while traveling to exam centers.

A student from Kashmir expressed their concern on X (formerly Twitter):

“Due to continuous snowfall affecting all roads in Kashmir, JKBOSE should consider postponing today’s Class 11th exam for students’ safety. We urge the J&K Govt to intervene and take necessary action.”

Parents have also taken to social media to request the postponement, fearing for their children’s safety amid adverse weather conditions.

JKBOSE 2025 Exam Controversy: Out-of-Syllabus Questions in Hard Zone Areas

Adding to the students’ woes, reports have emerged that some JKBOSE Class 11 exam papers for hard zone areas contained out-of-syllabus questions. Teachers and students have raised concerns that the syllabus changes have not been properly communicated, leading to confusion and unfair disadvantages for students.

One of the major criticisms is the recent modification of textbooks by JKBOSE. According to local educators, several key topics have been omitted from study materials, resulting in unexpected and unfamiliar questions appearing in the exam.

A political controversy has also erupted, with PDP legislator Waheed Para alleging that:

“JKBOSE has removed key topics from textbooks over the last five years. Just yesterday, we saw ‘state of body’ replaced with ‘UT of body’ using Ctrl+R. This isn’t an educational reform—it’s a deliberate move to erase our history, identity, and culture to fit a BJP narrative.”

JKBOSE Class 11 Exam Viral Video: Student Uses Mobile Phone Inside Hall

Amid the ongoing controversy, a video surfaced online showing a JKBOSE Class 11 student allegedly using a mobile phone inside an exam hall. This has raised questions about the fairness and security of the examination process.

Sharing the viral video, a user on X commented:

“Kids using mobile phones in the exam hall and making reels—free and fair exams in Jammu and Kashmir is a myth.”

JKBOSE’s exam guidelines strictly prohibit electronic devices inside the exam hall. However, the emergence of such videos has led to criticism of the board’s ability to ensure a cheating-free examination environment.

Kashmir Weather Impact on JKBOSE Exams

As per the latest reports from the Meteorological Department, Srinagar and several parts of Kashmir have received fresh snowfall, while higher reaches of the valley have witnessed moderate to heavy rainfall. The snowfall has affected several key highways, including the Srinagar-Leh highway, which remains closed due to snow accumulation.

The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway was initially open for traffic but had to be closed due to snow accumulation and shooting stones in the evening.

The weather forecast predicts that light to moderate snowfall or rain may continue until Friday noon, increasing the challenges faced by students commuting to examination centers.
