JKBOSE Postpones Class 10th and 12th Bi Annual Exam Scheduled for July 20, 2026

JKBOSE has postponed the Class 10th and 12th Bi Annual examination that was scheduled to be held on 20th July 2026. The postponement applies to all exam centres across Jammu and Kashmir UT as well as Ladakh, covering both Leh and Kargil. Students do not need to appear for today's paper as originally planned.

Why the exam was postponed

The board took this decision because of inclement weather. JKBOSE has stated that student safety was the main reason behind postponing the exam, rather than risk students travelling to centres in poor weather conditions.

Who this affects

This update applies to every Class 10th and 12th student registered for the Bi Annual examination in J&K UT and in Ladakh, including both Leh and Kargil districts. If your exam was scheduled for today, it now stands postponed.

What happens next

JKBOSE has said that the new date for this exam will be announced separately. The board has not released the revised date yet, so students should wait for the next official notification rather than assuming a new date on their own.

The official notification does not specify when the new date will be announced or how soon students can expect it, so it is worth checking JKBOSE's official channels regularly over the coming days.

Instructions issued to exam centres

JKBOSE has also directed that Centre Superintendents and the concerned SHOs (Station House Officers) of the respective jurisdictions be informed about this postponement. This is mainly an administrative step to make sure exam centres and local authorities are aligned on the new arrangement, and it does not require any action from students directly.

What students should do now

There is nothing students need to do immediately. Just hold on to your admit card and study material, and keep checking for the revised date sheet. Since this postponement was announced due to weather, it is a good idea to keep an eye on both the JKBOSE website and local weather updates in the coming days, since further changes are possible if conditions do not improve.

The official notification does not mention whether exams on other dates are affected, so students appearing in papers after July 20 should continue preparing as per the existing schedule unless JKBOSE issues a separate update.
