The Jharkhand School Examination Board announced a hike in examination fees and confirmed that the intermediate board exams will be conducted in February.
The Jharkhand School Examination Board (JSEB) has issued a notice indicating that fees for upcoming examinations will be raised. While the exact revised amounts were not disclosed in the brief announcement, the board emphasized that the adjustment is necessary to cover increasing operational costs.
In the same notice, JSEB confirmed that the intermediate (Class 12) board examinations are scheduled to take place in February. The timetable aligns with the state’s academic calendar and aims to ensure that results are declared in time for college admissions.
The fee increase is expected to affect thousands of students across the state, prompting concerns among parents about affordability. The board, however, stated that the revised fee structure will continue to be subsidised for economically weaker sections, in line with existing government policies.
Education officials have urged students and guardians to review the updated fee schedule on the board’s official website and to complete the payment process before the stipulated deadline to avoid any disruption in the examination process.
