Meanwhile, JKBOSE had granted a 15 percent syllabus relaxation for students of Classes 10, 11 and 12. According to a notification issued by the Director Academics, the decision was taken on the recommendations of the Directorates of School Education Kashmir and Jammu, as well as representations from other stakeholders, in view of the delayed academic session and disruptions caused by heatwaves, heavy rains, cloudbursts and floods.
