As students across Jharkhand eagerly await their results, the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) is poised to announce the results for the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. The anticipation is palpable among the approximately 777,500 students who participated in the exams held earlier this year.
The JAC conducted the Class 12 examinations from February 11 to March 4, 2025, and the Class 10 exams from February 11 to March 9, 2025. The results are expected to be released by May 10, 2025, although no official date has been confirmed yet. Last year, the Class 10 results were declared on April 19 and the Class 12 results on April 30, leading many to speculate that a similar timeline could be followed this year.
Students can check their results on the official websites jacresults.com, jac.jharkhand.gov.in, or jharresults.nic.in. Additionally, results can be obtained via SMS by sending a text formatted as "RESULT (space) JAC12 (space) Roll Code (space) Roll Number" to 56263. This method will deliver the results directly to students' mobile phones.
To pass the JAC examinations, students must secure at least 33 percent in all subjects, including both theory and practical components. In 2024, the overall passing percentage for Class 12 was reported at 85.88 percent, down from 88.67 percent in 2023. The decline in passing rates has raised concerns among students and educators alike.
Each year, the JAC results are not just numbers; they reflect the hard work and dedication of the students. In 2024, the performance varied significantly across districts. For instance, in the arts stream, Simdega district emerged as the top performer, while Palamu struggled at the bottom. In commerce, Latehar secured the top position, and Sahibganj was noted for its poor performance. Similarly, Koderma excelled in science, while Khunti faced challenges.
As the results draw closer, students are advised to stay updated through the official JAC channels and prepare for the subsequent steps, including the possibility of compartment exams for those who may not meet the passing criteria. The JAC has indicated that students who fail in one or two subjects will have the opportunity to sit for compartment exams, allowing them to salvage their academic year.
The results will also include details such as roll numbers, subject names, and marks obtained in theory and practical assessments. Students are encouraged to download their provisional mark sheets once the results are announced, with original mark sheets being distributed via their respective schools at a later date.
With the examination period now behind them, many students are reflecting on their preparation efforts and the challenges they faced during the exams. The pressure of performing well is immense, especially for those aiming for scholarships or further studies. Reports suggest that students achieving over 90 percent may qualify for scholarship opportunities, adding another layer of motivation for those waiting for their results.
As the JAC finalizes the results, students and parents alike are reminded that patience is key. The council has stated that the evaluation process is ongoing, and they are committed to ensuring that the results reflect the true capabilities of the students. A senior JAC official recently addressed rumors about an early result announcement, clarifying that the evaluation is still in progress and that results will likely be available by the second week of May.
In conclusion, as the clock ticks down to the expected announcement date, the anxiety and excitement among Jharkhand's students continue to build. The JAC's commitment to transparency and accuracy in the evaluation process is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the results. Students are encouraged to keep an eye on the official channels for the latest updates and remain hopeful as they await the culmination of their hard work.
