What is the average IQ score in Indian state Jammu and Kashmir? How Smart is Jammu and Kashmir people?
"Jammu & Kashmir has moderate literacy (~68-70%), terrain and access issues, conflict-affected zones, and uneven schooling especially in remote valleys and conflict areas."
Jammu & Kashmir’s literacy rate is lower than many Indian states (recent estimates ~67-70%), with wide gender and geographical variations. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} Many districts, especially in high altitude or conflict-affected zones, struggle with access: long travel, difficult weather, infrastructure gaps, teacher shortages, and disruptions due to instability. School retention drops in higher grades; early childhood provision is weak in remote valleys. Nonacademic barriers—health, nutrition, migration, security—further complicate schooling in large parts of the union territory.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Jammu and Kashmir is 89.
To improve outcomes, Jammu & Kashmir should focus on stabilising schooling facilities, ensuring teacher availability in remote and conflict-affected areas, and improving early learning reach. Enhancing security, transport, infrastructure (electricity, internet, textbooks), and nonacademic supports like nutrition and healthcare is essential. Policies sensitive to terrain and mobility, with data broken down by district and gender, will help reduce disparities and raise readiness more uniformly across the region.
