Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) formally announced the Class 10 board examination results of the year 2025, causing relief as well as jubilation among the students and their families throughout the Union Territory. As many as 1,45,671 students had sat for the examinations, and overall pass percentage at 79.94% shows a slight increase from the last years.

This year’s testing was done in two phases. Candidates from the soft zone part of the zone wrote their exams between February 15 and March 19, while candidates who were in the hard zone sat for their papers between February 21 and March 25. The bifurcation was done taking geographical as well as climatic difficulties into account so that students from every area got equal chances to give their best.

One of the key highlights of this year’s performance was the trend of girl students performing better than boys. Of the 70,244 girls who sat for the exam, 57,063 passed, which was an impressive pass rate of 81.24%. Compared to this, of the 75,427 boys who sat for the exam, 59,390 passed, giving a marginally lower success rate of 78.74%. The uniform academic record of girls remains a source of pride and a reflection of shifting education trends in the state.

The board released the results through its own website (https://jkresults.nic.in), from where students can check their provisional mark sheets by providing their roll number and registration number. JKBOSE also provided a convenient system for result checking, addressing the numerous students checking the platform at the same time.

On a subject-wise basis, the performance reflected a good academic understanding among students, particularly in core subjects. Urdu was the best-performing subject, with an impressive 92.5% of the 1,00,106 students who appeared passing the paper. Science and Social Studies both achieved a pass percentage of 90%, reflecting a balanced inclination towards both theoretical and conceptual subjects. Mathematics, being a subject perceived as difficult, had 88% of students passing, whereas English had an 84% pass rate. Hindi, tried by 45,563 candidates, saw an 88.5% success rate, indicating robust linguistic skills among students.

These statistics indicate an overall good performance across subjects, which means most students not only managed to pass the examinations but also performed satisfactorily in major subjects. To be classified as successful, students had to attain at least 33% in every subject.

Education experts have praised the board for administering the exams in a smooth and efficient manner over varied geographical landscapes. The enhanced pass percentage, along with good performances in STEM and language subjects, has been viewed as a good omen of academic consolidation in the Union Territory.

The JKBOSE’s emphasis on access to education being equitable, support from infrastructure in far-flung regions, and e-learning initiatives could have led to this enhanced performance. The stakeholders in the education sector expect the trend to be sustained in future years, strengthening the contribution of education towards the socio-economic development of Jammu and Kashmir.

The board has also asked students to download and print their provisional mark sheets for future reference until the official certificates are issued. Schools and district education authorities have also been instructed to help students in any clarification or grievance concerning their results.

With the successful completion of the 2025 Class 10 board exams, the spotlight now turns to the next academic achievements of the students. For most, this outcome paves the way for higher secondary education streams of their preference—science, commerce, or humanities—laying the foundation for their future academic and professional endeavors.

As the Union Territory keeps investing in its education infrastructure, this year’s board results are a tribute to the resilience and potential of its students, teachers, and the community as a whole striving day and night to build a better tomorrow.
