Srinagar, Sept 5, 2025:
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has officially released the schedule for the submission of online examination forms for the Class 10th Annual (Regular) Session, Oct–Nov 2025. This notification applies to eligible students of the Kashmir Division of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, with the exception of District Kargil of UT Ladakh.
The notification comes as a crucial update for thousands of students currently on rolls in Class 10th across academic institutions affiliated with JKBOSE. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of deadlines, fee structures, late fee provisions, and important guidelines that must be strictly followed by both students and institutions.
In this article, we provide a detailed explanation of the notification, ensuring that students, parents, and schools clearly understand the requirements for smooth and timely submission of examination forms.
Importance of the Notification
The Class 10th board examination is one of the most significant academic milestones for students in Jammu and Kashmir. It marks the transition from secondary to higher secondary education and often sets the foundation for a student’s academic career.
The JKBOSE notification not only outlines the timeline for filling the forms but also ensures that there is transparency in the fee structure and uniformity across affiliated institutions. By adhering to this schedule, students can avoid unnecessary late fees and complications in the examination process.
Schedule for Submission of Examination Forms
The notification clearly divides the schedule into two main categories:
- Submission of forms with normal fee
- Submission of forms with late fee
1. Normal Fee Submission
- For candidates with five (05) compulsory subjects:
- Fee per candidate: ₹1240
- Date of opening of link: 2nd September 2025
- Date of closing of link/last date: 15th September 2025
- For candidates with additional/optional subjects (5+):
- Fee per candidate: ₹1460
- Date of opening of link: 2nd September 2025
- Date of closing of link/last date: 15th September 2025
This means students must complete their submissions within this time frame to avoid penalties. Schools are advised to encourage their students not to delay the process.
2. Late Fee Submission
The late fee structure is divided into two rounds, each lasting seven days.
- First Count of 7 Days (16th–22nd September 2025):
- For five subjects only: ₹2050 (₹1240 + ₹810 late fee)
- For more than five subjects: ₹2270 (₹1460 + ₹810 late fee)
- Second Count of 7 Days (23rd–29th September 2025):
- For five subjects only: ₹3325 (₹1240 + ₹2085 late fee)
- For more than five subjects: ₹3545 (₹1460 + ₹2085 late fee)
It is worth noting that the late fee rises significantly in the second round. Students and parents are therefore strongly advised to complete the process within the normal fee period to avoid paying extra charges.
Guidelines for Schools and Students
Along with the schedule and fee structure, JKBOSE has issued a set of guidelines to ensure a smooth examination form submission process.
For Schools:

Why Timely Submission Matters
Timely submission of examination forms ensures several benefits:

- Smooth examination process: Early submission allows JKBOSE to prepare admit cards, seating arrangements, and other logistics efficiently.
- Peace of mind for students and parents: Completing the process on time removes unnecessary stress before exams.
For students preparing for one of the most crucial examinations of their academic journey, avoiding last-minute hurdles is key to maintaining focus on studies.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Based on previous years’ experiences, here are some mistakes that students and schools should avoid:
- Incorrect subject selection: Ensure that optional or additional subjects are chosen correctly while filling the form.
- Missing deadlines: Do not wait until the last day, as server issues or internet problems could cause delays.
- Incomplete checklist submission by schools: Without the signed and stamped checklist, the submission is incomplete.
- Not keeping a copy of submission proof: Students and schools should always keep a copy of the submitted form and payment receipt.
Role of Parents
Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children through this process. They should:
- Regularly check with schools regarding deadlines.
- Ensure the correct details of their ward are entered in the form.
- Motivate students to avoid procrastination in submitting the forms.
- Help specially-abled children complete the additional formalities required for fee exemption.
