The buzz of anticipation filled Jharkhand as Matric and Intermediate examinations, organized by JAC, started across districts on Tuesday. An impressive 7,58,182 candidates—split as 4.23 lakh Matric and 3.34 lakh Intermediate—are testing their mettle at 1,232 and 757 centers.
First-day focus: IT/vocational for Class 10, vocational-only for Class 12 streams. Exams wrap Matric on Feb 17, Inter on 23. Shifts are staggered—9:45 AM-12:35 PM for Matric, 2-5:15 PM for Inter—with bonus 15 minutes to scan papers and settle nerves.
Every center boasts CCTV for ironclad oversight against foul play. CM Hemant Soren rallied collective support from examinees, families, faculty, staff, and locals for glitch-free execution, spotlighting state dedication to merit-based education and talent nurturing.
JAC’s digital crackdown is fierce: circulating bogus papers online invites IT Act 2000 and IPC wrath, group shutdowns, and shaming. Public duty calls for serene vicinities, instant suspicious activity reports, and exclusive reliance on authentic council bulletins. Helpline toll-free access empowers students.
This launch ushers a critical phase in Jharkhand’s schooling ecosystem, where disciplined conduct could pave ways for groundbreaking results and inspire statewide academic progress.
