Jharkhand Academic Council (abbreviated as JAC), is an state government agency responsible for academic administration in the state of Jharkhand, India. The agency is amended to supervise the government recognized academic institutions, including primary and higher secondary schools. It was established by the government of Jharkhand after the enactment of the Jharkhand Academic Council Act, 2003 by the state legislature and governor. JAC was primarily constituted for conducting intermediate, secondary, and madrasa-level examinations of the candidates registered with government-recognized institutions (JAC-affiliated).[1]
History[edit]
The JAC, formerly known as Jharkhand Intermediate Council (JIC), first came into consideration on 15 November 2000 after the state was formed by the Government of India. Three years after Jharkhand was formed, the state legislature enacted Jharkhand Academic Council Act 2003 to constitute a state government agency and hence, the Jharkhand Academic Council came into existence. The agency was initially housed in a rented building at Rameshwaram, Ranchi due to the unavailability of official accommodation in the state. At present, JAC is functioning from its official office situated in Gyandeep Campus, Namkum, Ranchi which was inaugurated in 2003 by the chief minister of the state.[2]
Duties and functions[edit]
The major functions and duties of the JAC are amended by the Act, 2003, 2000 and recognition rules, 2005, 2006 and recognition rule, 2008 enacted by the state government.[3][4][5]
