JAC Jharkhand cancels Class 10th science, Hindi exams amid alleged paper leak

The Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) has cancelled the Class 10 matriculation science and Hindi exams. The exams have been cancelled after the papers allegedly got leaked and went viral on social media, a JAC official said. Reports revealed that the leaked paper, which circulated through various channels, matched the actual exam paper, prompting the cancellation.

The Hindi examination took place on February 18 and the science paper was scheduled for today, February 20.

In an official notice released on February 20, the Council announced that the Hindi and science papers have been cancelled and that fresh dates for re-examination will be announced later.

“All students, their parents, principals concerned, centre superintendents and officials concerned are informed that in the light of information received through social media and newspapers, the examinations of Hindi (Course A & Course B) subject held in the first sitting on February 18 and Science subject in the first sitting on February 20 are cancelled,” JAC said in a notice. 

Meanwhile, the Class 10 matric Kharia, Khortha, Kundmali, and Nagpuri exams, earlier scheduled to be held on February 14 were postponed given the Shab-e-Barat holiday and they will now be held on March 4. The Intermediate core language exams — Hindi A and English A — will also be conducted on March 4.

The Class 10 and Class 12 JAC board 2025 exams began on February 11. While Class 10 exams are held in the morning shift, the examinations for Class 12 are conducted in the second sitting. Over 7.84 lakh students are enrolled to take both the JAC board examinations.

The Class 10 JAC examinations are scheduled in the first sitting (9.45 am to 1 pm), while the JAC Class 12 in the second sitting (2 pm to 5.15 pm).

More than 4.33 lakh students are expected to appear for the class 10 examinations across 1,297 examination centres, while over 3.50 lakh students are likely to write intermediate examinations across 789 centres. The examination for classes 10 and 12 earlier set to conclude on March 3, will now end on March 4.
