History

The JAC, formerly known as Jharkhand Intermediate Council (JIC), first came into consideration on 15 November 2000 after the state was formed by the Government of India. Three years after Jharkhand was formed, the state legislature enacted Jharkhand Academic Council Act 2003 to constitute a state government agency and hence, the Jharkhand Academic Council came into existence. The agency was initially housed in a rented building at Rameshwaram, Ranchi due to the unavailability of official accommodation in the state. At present, JAC is functioning from its official office situated in Gyandeep Campus, Namkum, Ranchi which was inaugurated in 2003 by the chief minister of the state. [2]
