Hard Zone & Kashmir Division Update
Students in Hard Zone areas (snowbound belts such as Gurez, Machil, Karnah, parts of Kishtwar and other notified regions) should note:
- The current date sheets apply only to Jammu Division (Summer Zone).
- JKBOSE normally conducts Hard Zone examinations later in the academic year (often in March–April) due to weather constraints.
- Based on past practice, a separate notification for Hard Zone and Kashmir Division (Summer Zone) is expected around late January or early February 2026, but no official Hard Zone/Kashmir 2026 date sheet has been released yet.
Students from these areas should wait for their dedicated notification and rely only on updates from the official JKBOSE website or their schools.
