JKSCERT likely to announce Class 8th results next week

SRINAGAR — Jammu and Kashmir State Council for Educational Research and Training (JKSCERT) is likely to announce results of 8th standard on April 10.

A top official informed the news agency KNO that the results have been prepared and all the processes have been completed. “We have completed all the requisite processes and most likely, the results will be announced by April 10,” the official said.

It also said that the academics will be started immediately in a week’s time after the announcement of the results.

Pertinently, the examinations of the 8th standard commenced on February 27 and culminated on March 10.

Meanwhile, the official also said that the Annual Transfer Drive (ATD) for teaching staff of the School Education Department will take some time to start. “The ATD will take some time to start and when everything will set, we will open the online links accordingly,” the official said.

On asking about the disparity of working hours in schools in and out of Srinagar Municipal limits, the official said, “We will decide soon the new timing for the schools falling under Srinagar Municipal limits.”

It is pertinent to mention that the timing for government and private schools in Srinagar Municipal limits usually used to be from 9 AM to 3 PM in April while outside the Municipal limits, it used to be 10 AM to 4 PM.

However, the government recently announced that the working hours in schools in Srinagar Municipal limits would be from 9 AM to 2 PM while the timing for schools outside Municipal limits remained unchanged, resulting in one hour of disparity.
