EXAM SESSION | March is the cruellest month

Implementation of a uniform academic calendar is an impractical move in Kashmir. It will adversely impact our students
Recently, the Jammu and Kashmir government said that it will implement a uniform academic calendar in all the schools of Jammu and Kashmir, thus ceasing the practice of summer and winter zone examinations and sessions.

Depending on weather conditions, both Jammu and Kashmir have separate academic calendars i.e., summer zone and winter zone.

The plains of Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua, Reasi, Rajouri and Poonch fall in the summer zone whereas Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban belts of Jammu regions vis-à-vis the Kashmir division fall in the winter zone.

Annual examinations in Summer Zone are held in March-April, while examinations in the winter zone are conducted in the months of October and November.
Chief Secretary Arun Mehta said that the government will fully implement the National Education Policy (NEP) from the current academic session, while the four-year undergraduate program as per University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines would be introduced in all colleges of the UT.
However, it has lot of challenges and problems on the ground, especially because of harsh winters when most of the areas remain cut off due to heavy snowfall and the halt in traffic movement on the highways.
Due to differing weather conditions, the Jammu region has been following an academic calendar like the rest of the country, while Kashmir, mainly because of harsh winters, has followed a separate calendar. In the Kashmir division, students take the final test in October and the new session begins in November.
And just after a month of classes, students have a three-month-long winter break. The schools then reopen in February, sometimes in the month of April, while as educational institutions in the frontier areas like Gurez, Machil, Tanghdar, and Keran reopen in the month of May.
These three mountainous regions of Kashmir remain cut off from rest of the world for almost 6 months due to heavy snowfall.
It is a matter of fact that students from frontier areas are unhappy with new mode of calendar because of climatic and topography. Since Kashmir remains snow-clad from mid November towards end of March, with some areas located towards the higher reaches of Pir-Panchal witnessing precipitation till mid April also.

Moreover, time and again it has been observed that the examinations, competitive or higher academic, held between mid Feb and mid April often get delayed/postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions that cripple the public transport and bring to grinding halt the normal life.

In the circumstances, the university and higher educational institutions including recruiting agencies have in the past postponed their examinations and same will be true for annual examinations if ever a uniform academic calendar viz-a-viz the new educational policies is ever implemented.
