Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has issued a notification, directing heads of High and Higher Secondary schools here to verify the results of candidates before giving admission to the students.
Sources privy to the development told The INS that it was observed that some of the candidates here managed to get admission in some of the schools after producing ‘fake’ certificates.
They said that the authorities at JK BOSE after noticing the event issued a notification wherein it was directed to all the school heads in Kashmir division to verify the results of candidates on the website before giving admission to any candidate.
Sources said that this all has happened after JKBOSE stopped the printed result gazette of annual examinations for the last few years.
Officials in JKBOSE told The INS that action was also taken against the candidates involved in producing fake certificates while one of the accused candidates was booked by the Crime Branch.
Pertinently, an order issued by the JKBOSE said that authorities at some higher secondary schools in the valley granted admissions to candidates, “who have not actually passed their board exams…without cross checking their result with the board due to non availability of printed result gazette”.
“As such, in order to avoid the admission on the basis of production of fake certificates, the circular instructions for strict compliance are circulated for the information of all the heads of the High/ Higher Secondary institutions of Kashmir Division for cross checking and verifying the results of the candidates form the BOSE website www.jkbose.ac.in at the time of admission of the students in their institutions,” reads the circular.
