The Jammu & Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examination (JKBOPEE) has scheduled a special counselling session for its Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) course. This session aims to fill seats that remained vacant after the second mop-up counselling. Interested candidates must report to the JKBOPEE office on October 10, 2025 . Reporting time is strictly between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM .
Purpose of the Special Round
JKBOPEE announced this special counselling due to an insufficient number of filled seats for the B.Ed program. Despite two initial rounds and a mop-up session, certain colleges and institutions still have vacancies. This new opportunity ensures that all available B.Ed seats are offered to eligible candidates before admissions conclude for the academic year.
Candidate Reporting and Rank Eligibility
All candidates from rank 1 to 400 are eligible to attend this special counselling. This includes applicants from all categories, both unreserved and reserved. Candidates must physically present themselves at the specified JKBOPEE office within the designated timeframe. Late arrivals will not be accommodated, and missing the reporting window could lead to forfeiture of the chance for admission.
Detailed Eligibility Criteria
A broad range of candidates qualify to participate in this offline counselling. Eligibility extends to several groups:
- Candidates who previously applied for the B.Ed course but did not secure any seat during the first, second, or mop-up counselling rounds.
- Those who were allotted a seat in any of the previous counselling rounds and have already successfully joined their respective college or institution.
- Individuals who received a seat in an earlier round but failed to join. Reasons for non-joining include deficient or invalid documents, not submitting the required admission fee, or not reporting for the admission process.
- Candidates who formally resigned from an allotted seat in previous rounds at their assigned college or institution.
- New participants are also eligible. These are candidates who appeared in the B.Ed Entrance Test 2025 and did not take part in any of the previous counselling rounds.
New eligible candidates from the last category must deposit an online counselling fee of Rs. 1000 . They must also fill in their preferences online specifically for this special round. However, candidates who already paid the counselling fee during the first, second, or mop-up rounds are not required to pay any additional fees for this special counselling session.
Required Documents for Verification
All attending candidates must bring a complete set of original documents for verification. These documents are essential for confirming eligibility and securing admission. Key documents include their Domicile Certificate, the Qualifying Marks card from their last examination, and any Category Certificate. The Category Certificate, if applicable, must be issued by the Competent Authority. The Board will scrutinize and verify all submitted documents during the counselling process.
Seat Matrix and Provisional Selection
The official seat matrix, detailing available B.Ed seats, will be published on the JKBOPEE website. This information will be accessible one day before the counselling session commences. Candidates are advised to check the website for the latest seat availability. It is important to understand that merely submitting preferences during counselling does not guarantee admission. Final admission for provisionally selected candidates remains subject to thorough verification of their eligibility by the respective colleges and institutions.
Proxy Attendance Policy
Candidates unable to attend personally due to unavoidable reasons may designate a close family member to act as a proxy. This family member must be in a blood relation to the candidate. The proxy must present a specifically devised authorization letter from the Board. Additionally, the authorized person must carry their personal Identity Card and Aadhar Card. Failure to provide these mandatory documents will result in the proxy being denied participation in the counselling process. Candidates who opt for proxy attendance assume full responsibility for the process.
