Srinagar, Oct 13: The JK 

Board of School Educa-

style="text-align: justify;">tion (BOSE) has convened 

a meeting of its academic 

committee to decide about 

holding annual regular 

exams of the class 11th stu-

dents. The meeting has also 

discussed holding annual 

style="text-align: justify;">exams of class 8th and 9th 

students as well.

A Board official con-

firmed that the academic 

committee convened a 

meeting to decide about 

the mode of holding exams 

of class 11th students was 

held few days ago. The 

official, however, ruled 

out any chance of grant-

ing mass promotion to the 

class 11th students.

“There is no chance of 

giving mass promotion to 

students of any class. The 

government has already 

announced 30 percent relax-

ation in syllabus in exams 

for students of class 10th to 

12th,” the official said.

“Once the minutes of the 

meeting held by the academ-

ic committee are approved 

by the government, the 

final decision about mode 

of class 11th exams will be 

announced accordingly,” 

the official said.

Chairperson JKBOSE, 

Veena Pandita confirmed 

to Greater Kashmir that the 

academic committee meet-

ing was convened a few days 

ago. She however refused to 

divulge further details about
