Jharkhand Academic Council asks schools to create e-mail ID for benefit of Inter students

The Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) has directed all government schools which will conduct secondary examinations in 2012-13 to create an e-mail ID and submit it to the council as soon as possible. In a letter issued to all secondary schools, the JAC said the schools must immediately submit their e-mail IDs so that the registration procedure for the secondary examinations can be completed on time.

JAC chairperson Laxmi Singh said there was a provision for students to improve their mistakes in the registration forms for secondary examination filled by them. "As they (students) are unable to see the original form submitted by them, so they do not know their mistakes. We have planned to put up all the forms that will be filled manually by students on the JAC website so that the students can check them and re-fill the form correctly. The corrected form will be submitted in the schools and the principals will send those forms to JAC in bulk. We will accept the corrected forms only from the IDs provided to us." Singh said.

The new JAC proposal will definitely help those students who are unsure about the form they filled and unable to see the copy even after visiting their school several times.

Manoj Kumar, a student of matriculation at Zila School, said: "It is a very good idea adopted by the JAC and if it is implemented properly we can be assured that we can correct the form if necessary it and resend it."

The principals of the schools have also appreciate the step taken by JAC. They, however, feel the option of submitting the refilled forms only once may create problems.

NG High School principal Tej Narayan Yadav said, "It is a very good proposal. But as we are supposed to send all the corrected forms only once, the students who had made any mistake while in filling the form a second time will not be able to correct it."

Singh says this was just the beginning of computerization. "In future all communications with the respective schools will be through the e-mail ID provided by them and all the information related to examinations will be given to the schools on the same ID, thereby, making the work easier and expeditious," she said.
