JAC Board Class X Result Previous Year Statistics
Looking at five years of JAC Class X results reveals a clear recovery story. After the pass rate dipped to a five-year low of 90.39% in 2024, the board bounced back to 91.71% in 2025 and then jumped sharply to 95.27% in 2026 — the highest mark since 2022. Girls have consistently outperformed boys in every year where gender-wise data is available.
| Year | Total Appeared | Total Passed | Overall Pass % | Girls Pass % | Boys Pass % | Result Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 4,22,109 | 4,02,178 | 95.27% | 95.51% | 95.01% | April 23, 2026 |
| 2025 | 4,31,488 | — | 91.71% | 91.00% | 89.70% | May 27, 2025 |
| 2024 | ~4,20,000 | — | 90.39% | — | — | April 19, 2024 |
| 2023 | ~3,50,000 | — | 95.38% | — | — | May 23, 2023 |
| 2022 | 4,15,924 | — | 95.93% | 95.96% | 95.90% | June 21, 2022 |
The 2024 and 2025 dip brought the pass rate below 92% for the first time since 2020. The 2026 recovery of nearly 5 percentage points over 2024 suggests stronger exam preparation and possibly more accessible paper difficulty. The declaration date has also shifted earlier — from June in 2022 to April in 2024 and 2026 — giving students more time to plan Class XI admissions.
Year-Wise Division Breakdown (2026)
| Division | Marks Range | Students (2026) | Share of Those Who Passed |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Division | 60% and above | 2,26,957 | 56.4% |
| Second Division | 45%–59.99% | 1,60,673 | 39.9% |
| Third Division | 33%–44.99% | 14,548 | 3.6% |
More than half of all students who passed in 2026 secured First Division — a positive indicator of improving academic standards across Jharkhand schools.
How to Check JAC Board Class X Result 2026
You can access your JAC Class X Result 2026 through four methods. The online portal is the fastest, but the SMS and DigiLocker options are useful when the website is slow due to heavy traffic right after the result drops.
Method 1: Online at jacresults.com
- Open jacresults.com or jac.jharkhand.gov.in.
- Click the JAC 10th Result 2026 link on the homepage.
- Enter your Roll Code and Roll Number exactly as printed on your admit card.
- Complete the CAPTCHA verification and click Submit.
- Your result appears on screen with subject-wise marks and division. Download or print it for future use.
Method 2: By SMS (No Internet Needed)
- Type: JHA10 <space> Roll Number
- Send to: 5676750
- You will receive your subject-wise marks and pass/fail status as an SMS reply within a few minutes.
Method 3: Through DigiLocker
- Open the DigiLocker app or visit digilocker.gov.in.
- Sign in with your Aadhaar-linked mobile number or create an account.
- Go to Education Documents and select Jharkhand Academic Council.
- Your Class X Marksheet 2026 will appear as a verified digital document — download or share it directly.
Method 4: From Your School
JAC dispatches official printed marksheets to affiliated schools after the result is declared. Your school principal or exam coordinator will hand over your marksheet once the batch arrives. If you need the result for admission before the physical copy comes, the downloaded online result or DigiLocker document is accepted at most institutions as a provisional certificate.
Ques. What do I need to check my JAC Class X Result 2026 online?
Ans. You need your Roll Code and Roll Number — both are printed on your JAC Class X admit card. Keep it handy when you visit the result portal. If you have misplaced your admit card, contact your school for the details.
Ques. The official result website is slow or not opening — what should I do?
Ans. High traffic right after the result is declared can slow down or crash the main portal. Try the alternate portal (jac.jharkhand.gov.in if jacresults.com is down, or vice versa). You can also use the SMS method — send JHA10 <Roll Number> to 5676750. DigiLocker is usually faster as it runs on a separate server.
Ques. Is the downloaded JAC result valid for Class XI admissions?
Ans. Yes. The downloaded result from jacresults.com or your DigiLocker marksheet is accepted as provisional proof of passing for Class XI admissions. You will need to produce the original printed marksheet — issued by JAC and handed over by your school — when the school asks for it at the time of final enrollment.
JAC Class X Result 2026: Details on Your Marksheet
The JAC Class X marksheet is your official record of performance in the board exam. Understanding every field on it helps you spot errors early and use it correctly for admissions and records.
What Your Marksheet Contains
- Student details: Full name, date of birth, father’s and mother’s names, school name, school code, roll number, and roll code
- Subject-wise marks: Theory marks and internal/practical marks for each subject, and the combined total per subject
- Overall totals: Aggregate marks obtained, total maximum marks, and overall percentage
- Division awarded: First Division, Second Division, Third Division, or Fail (or Pass — Compartment if you failed one subject but cleared others)
- Grace marks (if applied): Shown separately so you can see whether and where grace was applied
- Qualifying status: Pass / Fail / Compartment
Errors on the Marksheet — What to Do
If you find an error in your name, date of birth, or marks, report it to your school immediately. Do not wait. The school will forward a correction request to JAC within the allowed window — after that window closes, corrections become much harder to process.
Ques. What is the difference between the online result and the original marksheet?
Ans. The online result is a soft copy you can download right away from jacresults.com. The original marksheet is a printed, embossed document sent by JAC to your school. Both carry the same marks. Use the online copy for provisional admissions; submit the original when the school or institution specifically asks for it.
Ques. What if there is a mistake in my JAC Class X marksheet?
Ans. Contact your school principal immediately. The school submits a formal correction request to JAC with supporting documents such as your admit card and school registration records. Name and date-of-birth errors are handled by JAC’s examination department. Act quickly — correction windows have strict deadlines.
JAC Class X Result 2026: Pass Percentage and Statistics
The 2026 result is JAC’s strongest Class X performance since 2022. Here is the full breakdown — overall, gender-wise, and district-wise.
Overall Performance
| Category | Figure |
|---|---|
| Total Registered | 4,24,001 |
| Total Appeared | 4,22,109 |
| Total Passed | 4,02,178 |
| Overall Pass Percentage | 95.27% |
| Girls Pass Percentage | 95.51% |
| Boys Pass Percentage | 95.01% |
| First Division | 2,26,957 |
| Second Division | 1,60,673 |
| Third Division | 14,548 |
Girls outperformed boys by 0.50 percentage points — continuing a consistent trend seen in 2022 and 2025 results as well. The 2026 pass percentage is a 3.56 percentage point jump over 2025 (91.71%) and a near-5-point recovery from the 2024 low of 90.39%.
District-Wise Performance (Select Districts, 2026)
| District | Pass Percentage |
|---|---|
| Gumla | 99.32% |
| Dumka | 99.02% |
| Pakur | 98.56% |
| East Singhbhum | 98.02% |
| Khunti | 91.58% |
| Chatra | 91.20% |
Gumla topped all districts with 99.32%, followed closely by Dumka at 99.02% and Pakur at 98.56% — all tribal-majority districts showing strong academic outcomes. The gap between the top and bottom district is about 8 percentage points, pointing to areas where targeted support could make a difference.
JAC Class X Result 2026: Toppers
Four students jointly topped JAC Class X 2026, each scoring 498 out of 500 marks — a 99.60% score. Three of the four toppers come from districts outside Ranchi, reflecting that academic excellence in Jharkhand is no longer concentrated in the capital.
| Rank | Name | Marks | Percentage | District |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Priyanshu Kumari | 498/500 | 99.60% | Hazaribagh |
| Shivangi Kumari | 498/500 | 99.60% | Simdega | |
| Prem Kumar Sahu | 498/500 | 99.60% | Ranchi | |
| Sunny Kumar Verma | 498/500 | 99.60% | Ranchi | |
| 2nd | Divyanshu Oraon | 496/500 | 99.20% | Gumla |
| Khilesh Sahu | 496/500 | 99.20% | Gumla | |
| Vaishnavi Shree | 496/500 | 99.20% | Hazaribagh | |
| Julita Minz | 496/500 | 99.20% | Hazaribagh | |
| 3rd | Mahtab Ansari | 494/500 | 98.80% | — |
| Preet Raj | 494/500 | 98.80% | — | |
| Amisha Kumari | 494/500 | 98.80% | — |
Gumla district, which also topped the district-wise pass percentage table at 99.32%, placed two students in the Rank 2 position — further confirming its emergence as an academic stronghold in the state.
JAC Class X Grading System 2026
JAC uses a division-based system for the Class X result. Your final grade depends on the total percentage you score across all subjects — but only after you have cleared the 33% minimum in every individual subject.
| Division / Grade | Percentage Range |
|---|---|
| Distinction (A+) | 75% and above |
| First Division (A) | 60% to 74.99% |
| Second Division (B) | 45% to 59.99% |
| Third Division (C) | 33% to 44.99% |
| Fail (D) | Below 33% in one or more subjects |
Scoring well overall does not cancel a fail in one subject — if you score below 33% in even a single paper, the result is Fail regardless of your total. In 2026, more than 56% of all passing students earned First Division or Distinction, the highest share in at least four years.
Subject-Wise Minimum Marks to Pass
| Assessment Component | Maximum Marks | Minimum to Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Theory Paper | 80 | 26 marks (33%) |
| Internal / Practical Assessment | 20 | 7 marks (33%) |
| Combined (Theory + Internal) | 100 | 33 marks (33%) |
Theory and internal marks are evaluated separately — you cannot use a high internal score to compensate for a low theory score. Both components must independently meet the 33% threshold.
Ques. What is the minimum score needed to pass JAC Class X 2026?
Ans. You need at least 33% in each subject — that is 26 out of 80 in the theory paper and 7 out of 20 in internal/practical assessment. High marks in one component cannot make up for falling short in the other; both must be cleared separately.
Ques. What is a Distinction in JAC Class X?
Ans. Scoring 75% or more in aggregate (after clearing all subjects) earns you a Distinction, also called Grade A+. In 2026, the toppers scored 99.60% (498/500). Scoring in the 90%+ range is considered excellent and gives you strong options for the Science stream in Class XI.
JAC Class X Grace Marks Policy 2026
If you fell just short of the passing mark or a higher division, JAC may award grace marks to help you clear the threshold. The grace marks system is applied automatically by the board — you do not need to apply for it separately.
How Grace Marks Work
| Situation | Grace Marks Applied |
|---|---|
| Fall short of passing in one subject by 5 or fewer marks | Up to 5 grace marks in that subject |
| Fall short of passing in two subjects by 3 or fewer marks each | Up to 3 grace marks in each of those two subjects |
| Fall short of a higher division by 5 or fewer marks in aggregate | Grace marks applied to reach the division threshold |
Grace marks are noted separately on your marksheet so you can see exactly where they were applied. This policy helps students who narrowly miss passing or a division boundary — but it does not apply to practical or internal assessment scores, only to theory paper marks.
Ques. Will grace marks appear on my JAC Class X marksheet?
Ans. Yes. JAC marks grace marks explicitly on the marksheet, so they are visible and transparent. This is a board-level policy applied uniformly to all students who qualify for it — you do not need to make any request.
JAC Class X Compartment Exam 2026
If you failed in one or more subjects in the JAC Class X main exam, the Compartment Examination gives you a second chance to pass without repeating the entire academic year. You only have to appear in the subject(s) you failed.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Compartment Exam Date | July 2026 (tentative) |
| Compartment Result Date | August 2026 (tentative) |
| Who Can Appear | Students who failed in one or more subjects in the main exam |
| Subjects to Appear In | Only the subject(s) in which you failed |
| Passing Marks | Same as main exam — 33% in each subject |
| Practical / Internal Marks | Carried forward from the main exam (not re-examined) |
| Form Availability | jac.jharkhand.gov.in (dates to be announced) |
Your internal assessment and practical marks from the main exam are carried forward — you only sit for the theory paper of the failed subject(s). The passing criteria and grading rules are identical to the main examination. JAC will publish exact compartment exam dates and the application procedure on jac.jharkhand.gov.in once the schedule is finalised.
Ques. Can I appear in the JAC compartment exam if I failed in two subjects?
Ans. Yes. The compartment exam covers only the specific subjects you failed — you can appear in one, two, or more failed subjects. If you clear all of them in the compartment, your result is updated to Pass (Compartment) and you become eligible for Class XI admission.
Ques. When will the JAC Class X Compartment Exam 2026 be held?
Ans. The compartment exam is tentatively expected in July 2026, with results in August 2026. JAC has not released the exact dates yet. Keep checking jac.jharkhand.gov.in for the official schedule and application form link.
JAC Class X Scrutiny and Re-evaluation 2026
If you were not satisfied with your marks in any theory subject, JAC allowed you to apply for scrutiny — an official re-checking of your answer sheet. The scrutiny process covers re-totalling of marks and verifying that all answers were evaluated; it is not a fresh evaluation by a different examiner.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Scrutiny Application Window | May 16–26, 2026 (Closed) |
| Fee per Subject | ₹500 |
| Scrutiny Result | Expected August 2026 (Not yet declared) |
| Eligible Papers | Written theory papers only |
| Not Eligible | Practical and internal assessment marks (cannot be scrutinised) |
| Official Portal | jac.jharkhand.gov.in |
The scrutiny application window (May 16–26, 2026) has now closed. JAC is currently processing the submitted applications. The scrutiny result — which will reflect revised marks for students whose totalling or evaluation is found to have an error — is expected in August 2026, alongside the compartment exam result. As of May 29, 2026, the scrutiny result has not been declared yet.
One important thing to know: scrutiny can occasionally reduce your marks — if a totalling error was in your favour, the corrected total will be lower. Most students who see a change after scrutiny get either an increase or no change at all. Once the scrutiny result is published, students whose marks changed will receive a revised marksheet from their school. Watch jac.jharkhand.gov.in for the official announcement.
Ques. When will the JAC Class X scrutiny result 2026 be declared?
Ans. The scrutiny application window closed on May 26, 2026. JAC is processing the applications, and the scrutiny result is expected in August 2026 — the same window as the compartment result. It has not been declared as of May 29, 2026. Keep checking jac.jharkhand.gov.in for the official update.
Ques. Can scrutiny reduce my marks?
Ans. Yes, though it is rare. Scrutiny checks for totalling errors — if a totalling mistake was in your favour, the corrected figure could be lower. Most students whose marks change after scrutiny see an increase. If you applied during May 16–26, 2026, wait for the August 2026 result to see if your marks have been updated.
Ques. I missed the scrutiny application window — can I still apply?
Ans. No. The scrutiny application window (May 16–26, 2026) has closed. JAC does not accept late applications. If you believe there is a serious error in your marks, you can approach your school or contact JAC directly to understand if any administrative remedy is available.
What After JAC Class X Result 2026?
Once your result is out, here is what to do next — whether you passed, scored high, or need to appear in the compartment exam.
If You Passed
- Apply for Class XI admission: Most Jharkhand schools start Class XI enrollment in May–June. Decide early on your stream — Science, Commerce, or Arts — and contact schools you are interested in. Popular schools fill up quickly, especially for the Science stream.
- Collect your original marksheet: Your school will hand over the JAC-issued printed marksheet once the batch arrives from the board. This is the document you will need for higher education records and government applications throughout your life — keep it safe.
- Check for scholarships: Several central and state schemes are open to Class X passouts from low-income families, SC/ST categories, and girls. The National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) lists all active schemes with eligibility criteria.
- Explore ITI / vocational paths: If you prefer a skill-based career, the Jharkhand Department of Labour, Employment and Training runs Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) with admission after Class X. Trades like electrician, fitter, and computer operator are popular options.
If You Scored Very High
- Scoring 90% and above puts you among the top students in the state and strengthens your case for merit-based admissions and competitive scholarships.
- For Science aspirants targeting engineering or medicine, the preparation for JEE and NEET effectively begins in Class XI — choosing the right school and coaching pathway matters.
If You Need to Appear in the Compartment Exam
- Register for the JAC Class X Compartment Exam 2026 when the form opens on jac.jharkhand.gov.in — expected July 2026.
- You only need to appear in the subject(s) you failed. Internal marks are carried forward.
- If the compartment result also does not go in your favour, you can re-appear as a private (ex-student) candidate in the next JAC Class X annual examination.
If You Applied for Scrutiny
- Wait for the scrutiny result in August 2026. If your marks change, your school will issue a revised marksheet.
- Do not delay Class XI admission waiting for scrutiny — use your current result to apply provisionally, and update documents if the scrutiny result changes your marks.
Ques. When do Class XI admissions start in Jharkhand after the Class X result?
Ans. Class XI admissions in Jharkhand typically begin within a few weeks of the Class X result. Since the JAC result came out on April 23, 2026, most schools started admissions in May 2026. Contact your preferred school directly — popular schools fill seats quickly for the Science stream.
