JKBOSE 2026: 15% Relaxation Policy Overview
To ensure fairness after syllabus reduction, JKBOSE introduced a flexible question attempt system:
- Students were required to attempt only 85% of the total marks
- Remaining 15% was given as internal choice (optional questions)
- Final marks will be scaled up to 100% during evaluation
- Applicable to Class 10th, 11th & 12th Annual Board Exams 2026 (Summer Zone JD)
This approach ensures that students are evaluated based on what they attempted.
Exam Pattern Followed in 2026
During the board exams, the question paper pattern was adjusted as follows:
- 80 Marks Paper → Attempt required: 68 Marks
- 70 Marks Paper → Attempt required: 59.5 Marks
Students had the freedom to skip 15% questions, making the exam more manageable and less stressful.
How Marks Will Be Calculated (Post-Exam Evaluation)
Now that exams are over, here is how JKBOSE will calculate your final marks:
- Marks obtained will be proportionally scaled to full marks
- Evaluation will consider only the attempted portion (85%)
- Final result will reflect converted marks out of 100%
Example for Clear Understanding:
- If a student scores 60 out of 68 in an 80-mark paper
- It will be scaled to approximately 70.6 out of 80
- This equals around 88% after normalization
This method ensures that every student gets fair marks without disadvantage.
