Live Updates in hindi: jac board 2026 matric and intermediate board exams will also include competency-based questions
Latest Updated On 12/10/2025: Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) Matriculation and Intermediate Board Examinations 2026 will include not only traditional questions but also application-based questions. These questions will be proficiency and skill-based. The aim is to prepare students for competitive exams. The exam will include questions related to analytical skills, sensitivity, awareness, reasoning, and aptitude. This will also test the various levels of candidates. The JAC Board is in its final stages of preparation.
Until now, JAC board exams have typically asked general questions based on the syllabus in various subjects. Candidates have previously focused on exams based on rote memorization. This is being changed. Starting in 2026, the exam will include questions on thinking skills, real-life applications, and interdisciplinary questions. Traditional questions will be asked in a different way. Subjects like Mathematics and Hindi will include questions related to reasoning.

To promote learning rather than rote memorization among students in CBSE and ICSE schools, the exam question pattern was changed two years ago. Under this, competency-based questions are now given more weightage.
This has already been implemented in the CBSE and ICSE boards.
The 30-50-20 formula will remain
The 30-50-20 formula will apply to questions in the 10th and 12th grade exams. Objective questions will carry three marks. 50 marks will be for short- and long-answer (subjective) questions, with 20 marks for practicals or internal assessment.
Implemented in CBSE and ICSE
The question types will be changed
The exam question pattern was changed two years ago to promote learning rather than rote memorization among students in CBSE and ICSE schools. Under this, competency-based questions are now given greater weightage. In the first and second year, 30 to 40 percent of the questions were competency-based. This has been increased to 50 percent in this session. MCQ questions will also be included. The board's aim is to enhance students' reasoning abilities, which the new education policy also initiates.
