About BoPEE

Before 1987 selections for medical and engineering courses in the State were made by a designated Government Department in the Civil Secretariat as an a additional item of its work . Gradually, the number of students who were appearing in Entrance Examinations increased and, as a consequence , the work of organizing Entrance Examinations also increased . The government of Jammu and Kashmir, therefore , in the year 1987 constituted a full –time examining body, Competent Authority Entrance Examinations . The purpose of creating a full-time examining body was to organize Entrance Tests in a more transparent and orderly manner on the pattern followed in other parts of the country. The Competent Authority thus constituted performed its task of conducting Entrance Examinations in a fairly satisfactory manner.


    In the year 2002, Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations, Act was passed by the State Legislature and the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations was constituted under the Act. The Board as set up under the Act replaced the Competent Authority Entrance Examinations which was existing earlier. The purpose of constituting an examining body for entrance tests by an Act of the Legislature was to invigorate it, so that it might execute the task of selection of candidates independently, objectively and more efficiently.

The Board of Professional Entrance Examinations consists of a Chairman and such other members as may be appointed by the Government. The Chairman is a full time paid officer and is appointed by the Government. Other whole time officers of the Board are:

Secretary
Controller of Examinations
Financial Advisor/Chief Accounts Officer
Law Officer

Besides, the Board has subordinate staff which assist it in its functioning. The subordinate staff include Private Secretary, PA, Section officer, Statistical Officer, Head Assistants, Senior Assistants and Jr. Assistants.

    Presently, the Board operates from its two offices, one each at Srinagar and Jammu. The two offices attend work and the students of their respective divisions.

    Needless to state, the task of conducting entrance tests is highly delicate, sensitive and arduous. Obviously, the execution of the task as this demands a high degree of care, dedication, efficiency and expertise. Indeed, the Board has hitherto been doing this job effectively. As of now, the Board mostly carries on its work through conventional tools and procedures.

    It goes without saying that in present times if any institution or organization does not use fast developing new technologies in its work processes, its growth is bound to be stifled. It will lag behind and drift towards regression and anachronism. Hence, it is currently prime necessity of the Board to take initiatives for applying new technologies in its working .
