J&K Government Announces Shift to November-December Academic Session for Classes 1–9
The Jammu and Kashmir government has restored the academic session for students up to the 9th standard to a November-December schedule, replacing the previous March start. This decision aims to align with the recently introduced Uniform Academic Calendar and is expected to positively impact student learning and readiness.
Key Details of the Revised Academic Calendar
- Who It Affects: This change affects students from Class 1 to Class 9, with exams and results now set to follow a November-December timeline starting this year.
- Higher Classes Transition Next Year: For students in Classes 10 to 12, the shift to the November-December academic session will take effect starting next academic year.
- Uniform Academic Calendar: This restoration is part of the Uniform Academic Calendar initiative introduced in 2022-23, aimed at streamlining the academic schedules across Jammu and Kashmir.
Benefits of the November-December Academic Session
The November-December session is expected to better align students’ academic progress with national standards, providing them with more time to cover the curriculum and reducing the impact of harsh winter conditions on schooling.
How Students and Parents Can Prepare
- Update Schedules: Students in Classes 1–9 should adjust their study plans to prepare for end-of-year assessments in November-December.
- Parents and students are encouraged to keep an eye on notifications from their schools and the Directorate of School Education for updates specific to higher grades as the calendar shift progresses.
By reinstating the November-December session, the J&K government aims to create a more efficient and climate-responsive academic schedule, improving the educational experience for students across the region.
