JAC working on formula for Class X, XII results

Sunday, 13 June 2021 | PNS | Ranchi

The State Government on Thursday evening announced to cancel the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) class X and XII examinations for this session in wake of the second wave of coronavirus pandemic. Chief Minister Hemant Soren, on Thursday evening tweeted, “In view of the circumstances arising out of Covid-19 and the demand of students and parents, I have decided to cancel the 10th and 12th examinations to be conducted by Jharkhand Academic Council in this session.”

After the State government announced to cancel class X and XII examination, the challenge before the State government is how students will be promoted to higher classes. Sources said that the JAC is working on various formulas about promotion of students from class X and XII respectively.

JAC chairman Arvind Singh said, “JAC is working on various systems, under which students will be promoted from class X to XII, however, the final decision will be taken by the state government.”  He further said, “Like CBSE and other boards, which too have cancelled matriculation and intermediate examinations, we too will take internal assessment for promotion of students in new classes. The advantage for us is that we have taken board examinations in class IX and XI. The results of Class IX and XI board examinations will also be considered while preparing the results of students.”

Sources said that apart from the advantage of class X and XII board examinations conducted by JAC, the state school examination had also conducted practical examinations the marks of which too will be considered while preparing the results.

Also, JAC has convened a meeting of RDDE (Regional Deputy Director Education) and DEO (District Education Officer) of the state on June 12, where senior officials’ feedback will be also taken for preparing the results. Principals of big schools will also be invited to the meeting. JAC is also waiting for the CBSE result. JAC will study the CBSE method of results preparations and based on which JAC will apply the same while preparing the results.

Prior to Jharkhand several other states such as Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Odisha have cancelled the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams for 2021 in wake of the pandemic.
