Education minister Sakina Ittoo on Monday said the government has decided to conduct exams for students up to Class 9 in the Valley in December.
The government recently announced that the academic session for students up to the 9th standard would follow a November-December schedule.
However, there was uncertainty about whether the exams would take place in November or December.
“The examinations up to Class 9 will be conducted in December. Parents and students should not worry about the cold weather. Ee will make all necessary arrangements in examination halls. Exams were conducted in December earlier also,” Minister for Education Sakina Itoo said.
She said the academic session for students in Classes 10 to 12 will return to the November-December cycle starting next year.
