"It is hereby notified that the prospective eligible students appearing in class 10, 11 and 12 in the ensuing Annual Regular, 2025 examination (October-November session) in Kashmir Division and winter zone areas of Jammu Division including UT of Ladakh, shall attempt 85 per cent marks which will correspond to 100 per cent marks, availing thus 15 per cent relaxation in syllabus," the Board said. The question papers will be set from the entire prescribed syllabus, and students will have to attempt at least 85 per cent of the marks from the question paper(s) within their internal choice, it added. "The decision was taken after recommendations from the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir/Jammu and pleas received from other stakeholders regarding reduction in syllabus due to delayed commencement of academic session this year, coupled with disruptions in academic calendar due to heat wave, torrential rains/ cloudbursts and floods," the notification said. Each Multiple Choice question (MCQ) attempted by the student shall be marked individually, and the same pattern will be applicable to the grammar portion in language subjects, the notification said.
