Scores of students who last year in November appeared in the Class 10th examination conducted by Jammu Kashmir Board of School Education are mentally traumatized as according to them they missed the first exam paper due to confusion created by the BOSE authorities and now BOSE is not willing to conduct the exam of their single missing paper.
Scores of students appeared in Press Enclave Srinagar and alleged that due to callous attitude of the BOSE they will surely lose one precious year. “BOSE changed the examination timing at the eleventh hour. Mobile service was out of order and internet too was banned as a result we couldn’t receive the news about the change of timing. We reached the examination centre at 2 on the first day and missed our Science paper.
Then BOSE authorities assured us that they will conduct the exam of our missing paper before the declaration of the exam result but now they have back tracked and have informed us that exam will be conducted only after the declaration of the final result,” the students told news agency CNS.The mentally depressed students said that the approach of the BOSE authorities is callous and they don’t understand that students will lose a precious year for a single paper. “We request Education Minister to look into the matter and get our examination conducted before the declaration of the result,” they said.Chairman BOSE, Zahoor Ahmed Chatt told CNS that he can’t help these students. “BOSE will conduct the examination of their single paper only after the declaration of the result and they have to appear as ‘Re-appear’ students,” he said.Education Minister Nayeem Akhtar said that he will look into the matter.
