The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) declared the Class 10 annual examination results for the October-November 2025 session on January 14, 2026. This announcement followed a period of uncertainty and statements from Education Minister Sakina Itoo. On January 12, 2026, Greater Kashmir reported Sakina Itoo's statement that Class 10 results were ready but awaiting the appointment of the JKBOSE chairman. She further clarified that the results would be declared by January 14, 2026. Crucially, on the same day as Itoo's initial statement (January 12, 2026), the Jammu and Kashmir government assigned Ghulam Hassan Sheikh, who was serving as the Secretary of JKBOSE, the additional charge of Chairman of the Board. This interim appointment addressed the administrative hurdle that had been delaying the formal clearance of the results. The government also reconstituted a search committee for a permanent JKBOSE Chairperson and JKSCERT Director. Two days later, on January 14, 2026, the Class 10 results were officially released, with an overall pass percentage reported at 84.04% for over 94,000 students who appeared for the exam. Education Minister Sakina Itoo subsequently congratulated the students on the timely declaration of their results, acknowledging the government's efforts to release them ahead of schedule to prevent academic delays.
