SRINAGAR: The Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has announced the suspension of classwork in 60 schools across the Kashmir Valley on Saturday, June 20. This measure is being taken to facilitate the smooth conduct of the NEET-2026 examination, scheduled for Sunday, June 21.
Classwork Suspension Mandated for NEET Exam Centers
Information was available with The Chenab Times indicating that the decision was formalized through a government order. The order explicitly states that classwork will be suspended in all educational institutions designated as examination centres for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). This allows for the necessary arrangements and logistical preparations for the examination.
The affected schools span multiple districts within the Kashmir Valley, including Anantnag, Bijbehara, Pulwama, Srinagar, and Kupwara, among others. Specific institutions mentioned in the directive include Govt Girls Model Higher Secondary School Anantnag, Govt Boys Model Higher Secondary School Bijbehara, and Govt Higher Secondary School Dialgam.

Strict Action for Non-Compliance

The NEET examination is a crucial gateway for aspiring medical students in India, and its conduct requires meticulous planning and coordination. The suspension of classwork in these schools is a standard procedure to ensure that the examination environment remains conducive and free from any disruptions. The DSEK’s order aims to preempt any potential issues that could arise from ongoing school activities at the designated examination centres.
