Jharkhand’s education landscape buzzes as Class 10 and 12 board exams launch February 3, welcoming 748,000+ students to 1,989 JAC-managed centers. The split: 1,232 matric hubs for 423,821 juniors, 757 intermediate for 324,321 seniors.
Upping the ante for malpractice-free testing, JAC deploys CCTV networks, patrolling magistrates, and police squads. Treasury-to-center paper logistics and exam-end protocols face microscopic scrutiny.
Practical tips for students: arrive 30 minutes early, admit card in hand, ignore hearsay, uphold integrity—or face penalties. Morning matric shift precedes 2 PM intermediate window.
Ranchi exemplifies rigor with 139 centers serving 64,920. Matric: 87 venues, 32,723 takers; Inter: 52, 32,197. From February 3-17, 75 centers’ 200m perimeters activate BNSS Section 163 from 6:45 AM-8:20 PM. Prohibitions target disorder: no quintets assembling (save duties/processions), no noisemakers, no lethal arms (guns, ammo), no blunt force (clubs, bows), no congregations.
Anticipating parental frenzies, Ranchi authorities—led by DC-DM and SSP—station forces decisively. This fortress-like setup heralds a benchmark for nationwide exam conduct, fostering trust in Jharkhand’s academic future.
