On the instructions of the Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the School Education and Literacy Department has decided to continue intermediate studies in the constituent and degree affiliated colleges of the state in the session 2023-25. In the meeting chaired by the Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy, the chairman and secretary of the Jharkhand Academic Council, it was instructed that if in any district or region, the students who have passed the secondary examination-2023 have difficulty in taking admission in the intermediate class. As in previous years, one can take admission in intermediate class in constituent and degree affiliated colleges.
This year more than four lakh candidates have been successful in JAC's matriculation examination. These students are facing problems in getting admission in Intermediate. For this reason, the Department of School Education and Literacy, keeping in view the interest of the students, has decided to continue the enrollment and studies of students in intermediate in constituent and degree affiliated colleges.
The state is in the process of separating intermediate education into constituent and affiliated degree colleges. For this reason, there is confusion regarding the enrollment in intermediate between the students who have passed the secondary examination this year, their parents and some affiliated degree colleges. In such a situation, the students are facing difficulties in connection with the enrollment. This may also affect the academic session. For this reason, the government has directed to ensure intermediate enrollment in constituent colleges and affiliated degree colleges.
Notably, thousands of students, who have passed matriculation examination this year and want admission in intermediate colleges near their villages are in a quandary as the intermediate colleges have not yet started admission. This is due to the implementation of the new education policy, which makes education from class 9 to 12 separate.
“I have been running from pillar to post to take admission in Intermediate Science this year, but to no avail. In whichever college I went to, they said that they are waiting for the government's decision on this matter. Now, with the CM’s directions on the issue, it looks like I will be able to continue my education. I thank the Cm from the core of my heart,” said Beronika Kerketta, a native of Karra in Khunti district of the State.
