With this new format, students of Classes 3 to 7 will also appear for two exams in a year with the first exam being an objective-type question paper.
Jharkhand Academic Council has brought some major changes in its examination pattern. JAC has decided to conduct the exams for Classes 3 to 7 on the lines of matriculation and intermediate format. With this new format, students of Classes 3 to 7 will also appear for two exams in a year with the first exam being an objective-type question paper. In the second examination, the students will have to answer long-form questions.
Unlike boards, both shifts will be conducted with a gap of 15 minutes on the same day, according to Live Hindustan. The report said the annual examination for the students of Class 3 to Class 7 will commence after the summer vacations. Both the shifts will be of 40 marks each. The time duration for each shift is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Students will be evaluated on the basis of internal assessment
The Board will evaluate students based on internal assessment. While the academic council has not announced a timetable for the Class 3 to Class 7 exams yet, they are expected to start after June 7. Soon after the completion of the June examination, the board will start a new session from July onwards.
No written examination until Class 2
JAC has also decided to scrap the written examination for the students of Classes 1 and 2. Students will be evaluated based on their performance in the oral test. Students can even opt to answer in their regional language during the oral examination. The questions will also be framed in the same language that a student picks before the examination.
The decision has been taken due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education system. As students have spent their foundation years at home, the academic council believes that they might find it difficult to understand Hindi and therefore, the relaxation has been given to them.
