J&K Schools and Colleges to Stay Closed Till May 12 — Final Call Expected Today: May 12, 2025 | Jammu & Kashmir
All educational institutions across Jammu and Kashmir — including schools, colleges, and coaching centres — will remain closed till today, May 12, as per the latest directive from the administration. A final decision on whether to reopen or extend the closure is likely to be announced later in the day.
The closure, which was initially put in place due to a mix of administrative and safety concerns, has affected thousands of students across the Union Territory. While the exact reason hasn’t been officially confirmed, sources suggest the decision was influenced by ongoing regional issues, weather disturbances in upper reaches, and public safety concerns.
Today’s expected announcement is likely to bring some clarity, especially for students appearing in board exams, university tests, and competitive entrance exams.
“We’re waiting for the government’s green signal. If they allow us to reopen even in phases, we are fully prepared,” said a college administrator from Jammu.
Meanwhile, online classes continue for most students, but connectivity and accessibility issues remain a challenge in many areas, particularly in remote and rural districts.
What’s Next?
All eyes are now on the authorities, who are scheduled to review the situation and hold key discussions today. A clear directive is expected by the evening.
