The Directorate of School Education Jammu (DSEJ) has announced a uniform schedule for the summative assessment of students from Classes 1 to 9 in all government and recognised private schools in the winter zone of Jammu Division. Examinations will begin on October 12.

For Classes 1 and 2, assessments will cover Mathematics on October 12, English on October 13, Kashmiri, Dogri or the local language on October 14, and Hindi or Urdu on October 17. Students of Classes 3 to 5 will take Mathematics, English, Kashmiri/Dogri/local language, Environmental Studies and Hindi/Urdu on specified dates through October 17.
For Classes 6 to 8, papers include Mathematics, English, Kashmiri/Dogri/local language, Science, Hindi/Urdu and Social Sciences from October 12 to 19. Class 9 follows the same schedule, with an additional Vocational paper on October 21. The notification has been circulated to all concerned authorities.
The DSEJ has imposed a uniform examination schedule across government and private schools in the winter zone for the first time, ending the discretion individual schools had over dates. This directly affects students, teachers and parents in the region, who must now align their preparation with a single calendar. The schedule leaves no room for adjustments by schools that may have planned different timelines. The next step is implementation from October 12, when the first papers begin.
