JKBOSE Notification-II: Appearance Before UFM Committee for Class 10th & 12th Annual/Regular 2025
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has released Notification-II concerning students required to appear before the Unfair Means (UFM) Committee. This applies to candidates of Class 10 (Secondary School Examination) and Class 12 (Higher Secondary Examination Part-II) for the Annual/Regular Session 2025 held in October–November for the Kashmir Division.
The notification is crucial for students whose roll numbers are mentioned in the official list, as they must appear in person before the UFM Committee to explain and defend themselves against allegations of using unfair means or engaging in examination misconduct.
🔔 Purpose of the Notification
JKBOSE has reported that some students of Class 10 and Class 12 are suspected of using unfair means or being involved in examination-related misconduct during the Annual/Regular 2025 (Oct–Nov) session. Rather than imposing immediate penalties, the Board is providing these candidates with an opportunity to personally appear before the UFM Committee and present their explanation.
This step highlights JKBOSE’s dedication to fairness, transparency, and the principles of natural justice.
The notification further clarifies that if any candidate does not appear before the UFM Committee on the assigned date, their case will be resolved based solely on the existing records, and no subsequent appeal or request will be considered.
Therefore, appearing before the committee is compulsory.
