SRINAGAR — Amid confusion over preponing of 10th and 12th standard examinations, authorities on Monday said that Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) will clarify the matter within a week’s time.

BOSE chairman Veena Pandita said that no official decision or announcement was made as on date.

With regard to preponing of 10th and 12th standard examinations, Pandita said: “The matter of preponing the exams was only discussed in the previous meeting with the Ex-Commissioner Secretary Asgar Samoon as to whether there was any feasibility for government and BOSE to hold the exams of 10th and 12th standard exams in first week of November.

“As of now, nothing has been finalized and currently BOSE has not announced or decided anything about examinations, but in week’s time, everything will be cleared,” she said.

As whether there was any indication of mass promotions to 11th standard students, the BOSE said that too would be decided in the coming days.
