Divisions and Grading Criteria.
Class 10: Subject-wise Grading System
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) uses a detailed subject-wise grading system for Class 10. Grades are assigned based on the percentage of marks obtained in individual subjects. This structure is documented in the official board regulations.
