Before 1987 selections for Medical and Engineering courses in the State were
made by a designated Government Department in the Civil Secretariat as an
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, The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations
Act was passed by the State Legislature and The Jammu and Kashmir 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 Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations consists
of a Chairman and such other members as may be appointed by the Government. The
Chairman is a whole time paid officer and is appointed by the Government. Other
whole time officers of the Board are:

The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations conducts different
Examinations as:
- Combined Entrance Test for admissions to MBBS, BDS, B. V. Sc., BAMS, BUMS, B. Sc.
Agricultural, B. Sc. Nursing, SKIMS Courses, B.Sc. Physiotherapy, B.E. and Diploma
Dental.
- MD/MS/PG Diploma/MDS Entrance Test.
- MD/MS Ayurveda Entrance Test.
- PG Agricultural Courses Entrance Test.
- B.Ed. (Jammu/Kashmir) Entrance Test.
- Three years Diploma Polytechnic Entrance Test.
Presently, The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations operates
from its two offices, one each at Srinagar and Jammu for 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. Earlier, the Board mostly carried 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 .
As this Website wants to demonstrate its commitment to your service, it has agreed
to disclose its information practices and have its operation practices
monitored for compliance by The Government of Jammu & Kashmir.
