The Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) has postponed the JAC Class 10 and JAC Class 12 examinations after scheduling them from March 9 to 26, 2021. The Jharkhand Board examinations will now be conducted in May. Earlier, the State Board had announced that the exam dates for classes 10 and 12, but later on that order was retracted following a directive from the Education Department of the State Government. The decision to hold the exams was opposed by a majority of students and parents citing health concerns and incomplete syllabus amid COVID-19 pandemic.

The JAC 10th Time Table 2021 as well as JAC 12th Time Table 2021 is expected to follow soon after the meeting of the officials. The Council also plans to declare the JAC 10th Result 2021 as well as the JAC 12th Result 2021 by July 2021.

As per media reports, the Jharkhand Academic Council is scheduled to hold a consultative review meeting today i.e. on February 3, 2021. The officials are expected to evaluate the current situation around the COVID-19 pandemic and also discuss the logistical challenges that will be needed in order for the safe conduct of JAC Class 10 and 12 Board Exams 2021. 
The State Board has already reduced the syllabus for classes 10 and 12 by 40% in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic
