JKBOSE conducts annual examinations for Class 10 and Class 12 in the arts, commerce, science and vocational streams, along with supplementary or biannual sittings and private candidate examinations. The subject papers follow the board's own prescribed syllabus and textbooks, which broadly track the national curriculum framework, and results are declared division wise for the Jammu and Kashmir divisions. Beyond examinations, the board handles registration and enrolment of school students, affiliation and inspection of schools, textbook publication, migration and duplicate certificates, and revaluation and rechecking requests. Its certificates are recognised for admission to higher education across India. Admission to professional courses is decided instead by separate entrance tests and counselling authorities, and the Class 12 board result is used only to establish that the applicant is qualified.

Because this is a school board rather than an entrance test, the conditions relate to school enrolment. A candidate appears in the Class 12 board examination through a school affiliated to the board, after having been registered and promoted from the preceding class, and must meet the board's attendance and internal assessment requirements. Private and repeat candidates may appear under the categories the board defines in its notification. Passing standards, minimum marks in each subject and in aggregate, rules on compartment and repeat attempts, and the age and registration conditions are set out in the official JKBOSE examination notification and bye laws, and students should confirm them with their school or on the board website.
