The 5-minute Class 9 registration
Take a real case. A JAC-affiliated school in Ranchi has 142 Class 9 students, Hindi medium, 2025–26 session. JAC opens the Class 9 board registration form fill-up with a tight last date. Every Student Information Sheet needs name, date of birth, parentage and category — exactly right. Here is what the clerk does instead of re-typing 142 sheets by hand.
Clerk selects the Class 9 cohort. SchoolDeck already holds each student's name, date of birth, parentage and category in the fields the JAC Student Information Sheet needs.
SchoolDeck assembles the JAC Class 9 registration set and flags the six students with a missing field — two without a category entry, four with no date-of-birth proof linked — before submission, not after rejection.
The names verify in Hindi. रौशन कुमार महतो renders with the conjunct and the nukta intact — no broken Devanagari, no mismatch between the sheet and the certificate the student will get later.
Clerk exports the registration set, and the same verified records stay ready for e-Vidyavahini — enrolment and attendance don't have to be rebuilt separately.
Before SchoolDeck
The same form fill-up meant typing 142 Student Information Sheets into a Hindi-font template that broke conjuncts on half the machines, discovering missing categories only when JAC rejected the entry, and then re-keying the same students into e-Vidyavahini separately. A deadline-week scramble, every single session.
Built for JAC realities
JAC runs board registration at Class 8 and 9 as well as Matric and Inter — four form fill-ups most tools never planned for. SchoolDeck builds each registration set from records you already hold, so none of the four cycles becomes a re-typing marathon.
Names in legacy Devanagari fonts collapse when a certificate moves between computers. SchoolDeck uses Unicode Hindi everywhere, so conjuncts and the nukta print the same on every machine and PDF — and match what's in the registration sheet.
Enrolment, attendance, infrastructure and MDM data all run through e-Vidyavahini, and most schools type it twice. SchoolDeck holds the data in matching fields, so the EVV update is an export, not a re-entry.
The Section 12(1)(c) reserved-seat list and the Pre- and Post-Matric scholarship records scatter across files. SchoolDeck keeps one ledger of eligible admissions, beneficiaries and claims, ready when the inspection comes.
The Jharkhand regulatory map
No generic "compliance" claims — these are the named bodies, portals and Acts the Jharkhand edition actually maps to.
Jharkhand Academic Council, constituted under the Jharkhand Academic Council Act, 2002 — the examining body for Class 8, 9, Matriculation and Intermediate (jac.jharkhand.gov.in).
JAC's Matriculation (Secondary, Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) examinations, plus Madhyama and Madrasa streams — each handled on its own terms.
JAC's board form fill-up at Class 8 and Class 9 — a Jharkhand-specific requirement that SchoolDeck builds directly from existing records.
evidyavahini.jharkhand.gov.in — the Department of School Education & Literacy / JEPC portal for enrolment, attendance, MDM and TC verification. SchoolDeck fields map to it.
The 25% reserved-seat obligation for disadvantaged and weaker-section children, as implemented in Jharkhand — tracked with reimbursement claims in one ledger.
Standards-based Devanagari so conjuncts and the nukta render identically everywhere, plus Pre- and Post-Matric scholarship eligibility and reconciliation.

"Most software forgets that JAC registers Class 8 and 9 too. We were doing four form fill-ups a year by hand. Now each one builds from data we already have, the missing fields are flagged before JAC rejects them, and the Hindi prints clean. That's why we switched."
This edition is for any school affiliated to the Jharkhand Academic Council — government, aided or private unaided — that sits for the JAC Matriculation and Intermediate examinations, completes the Class 8 and 9 board registration JAC requires, issues Hindi-medium certificates, and records its data through e-Vidyavahini. If your school works under JAC and serves families across the Ranchi, Dhanbad, Jamshedpur and Santhal Pargana regions, this is the configuration to run. Schools affiliated to CBSE or ICSE instead should use those editions; the workflows are deliberately separate so you are never carrying fields you don't need.
JAC is unusual among Indian boards in conducting examinations at Class 8 and Class 9, alongside the Matriculation (Secondary, Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) examinations. That means four board touch-points, not two, and four registration cycles a school has to keep straight. SchoolDeck records all four levels in one student profile, with internal assessments and board results in the same place, so each registration set and each report card is generated from data you already hold rather than re-collected by hand.
Each JAC registration cycle needs a Student Information Sheet with the student's name, date of birth, parentage and category — every field exact, because a wrong or missing entry means a rejected registration and a scramble before the deadline. SchoolDeck assembles the form fill-up set for Class 8, Class 9, Matric and Inter from records you already hold, and flags any student with a missing field before submission. The same verified data then carries into results and certificates, so a name entered once is correct everywhere.
The most common failure in a Jharkhand school office is a Hindi name that looks fine on one screen and breaks into boxes on the next — and worse, a name that doesn't match between the registration sheet and the certificate. SchoolDeck renders names and remarks in Unicode Devanagari throughout, so conjuncts, the halant and the nukta appear correctly on every machine and in every exported PDF, identical across the registration, the marksheet and the Transfer Certificate.
The e-Vidyavahini (EVV) portal (evidyavahini.jharkhand.gov.in), run by the Department of School Education and Literacy and the Jharkhand Education Project Council, is where Jharkhand schools record enrolment, teacher attendance, infrastructure and mid-day-meal data, and even verify Transfer Certificates. SchoolDeck stores that information in fields that map to the portal's structure, so the update becomes an export-and-submit step rather than a full re-keying job. SchoolDeck is an independent ERP, not the government portal itself — what it removes is the duplicate data entry between your own records and EVV.
The Right to Education Act, 2009, Section 12(1)(c) requires private unaided schools to reserve 25% of entry-class seats for children from disadvantaged and weaker sections. SchoolDeck keeps that obligation as a live ledger — eligible admissions, reimbursement claims and supporting documents in one place — so the figures hold up at inspection time. Alongside it, the Pre- and Post-Matric scholarship schemes Jharkhand students draw on are tracked with eligibility lists, beneficiary records and disbursement reconciliation.
Parents pay through UPI, cards or net banking and get an SMS receipt that can be sent in Hindi. Instalment plans, concession categories and defaulter lists are tracked automatically, and every payment posts to the fee ledger in real time. The daily round of phone reminders and hand-marked registers gives way to a fee book that stays current on its own.
A trust running branches in more than one district manages every one under a single account, with branch-level fee ledgers, consolidated reporting and one Hindi certificate template applied everywhere. The edition is built to serve schools across the state's 24 districts:
Each state edition follows its own board's scheme, certificate format and state portal. The Jharkhand edition is not interchangeable with its siblings, and naming the difference keeps each page in its own lane:
| Task | Spreadsheets & Word | SchoolDeck Jharkhand Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Class 8 / 9 registration | Sheets typed by hand | Built from existing records |
| Matric / Inter results | Separate files per class | One profile, all four levels |
| Missing-field checks | Found when JAC rejects | Flagged before submission |
| Hindi TC & marksheets | Retyped; Devanagari breaks | Unicode Hindi, matches the registration |
| e-Vidyavahini update | Manual re-keying | Export from mapped fields |
| RTE 25% ledger | Scattered across files | Live ledger with claims |
| Pre/Post-Matric scholarships | Reconciled by hand | Beneficiary lists & reconciliation |
| Fee collection | Cash & phone chasing | UPI + Hindi SMS receipts |
| Multi-branch trust | One file set per branch | One account, branch ledgers |
Questions JAC schools ask
Yes. SchoolDeck's Jharkhand Board Edition is configured for schools affiliated to the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC), Ranchi. It prepares students for the JAC Matriculation (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) examinations, handles Class 8 and 9 board registration, prints Hindi-medium certificates and keeps records in a structure that maps to the e-Vidyavahini portal.
Yes. JAC conducts board examinations at Class 8 and Class 9 in addition to Matriculation (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) — something most state boards do not do. SchoolDeck handles the form fill-up and registration for Class 8 and 9 as well as full result processing for Matric and Inter.
In JAC terminology, Matriculation is the Secondary examination at Class 10 and Intermediate is the examination at Class 12. SchoolDeck uses the same terminology throughout, so registration, results and certificates match what JAC, students and receiving institutions expect.
Yes. SchoolDeck prints Transfer Certificates, report cards and marksheets in Hindi and English. Names and remarks render in Unicode Devanagari, so conjuncts and the nukta appear correctly in the printed PDF rather than breaking into boxes or wrong glyphs.
SchoolDeck stores student, staff, attendance and infrastructure data in fields that map to the e-Vidyavahini (EVV) portal (evidyavahini.jharkhand.gov.in) run by the Department of School Education and Literacy and JEPC, where enrolment, teacher attendance, mid-day-meal data and TC verification are recorded. Staff can export and re-key data into EVV without rebuilding it from scratch. SchoolDeck is an independent ERP and not an official government portal.
Yes. SchoolDeck keeps the Right to Education Act, 2009 Section 12(1)(c) 25% reserved-seat admission ledger as implemented in Jharkhand, tracking eligible admissions, reimbursement claims and supporting documents in one place for audit.
Parents pay through UPI, cards or net banking, and receive an SMS receipt that can be sent in Hindi. Defaulter lists, instalment plans and concession categories are tracked automatically, and every payment posts to the fee ledger in real time.
The Jharkhand Board Edition follows the JAC examination scheme, JAC certificate formats and the e-Vidyavahini portal, with a Hindi interface and Matric/Intermediate terminology. The CBSE edition follows the CBSE scheme, CBSE certificate formats and CBSE's own systems. Schools pick the edition that matches their affiliation; the workflows do not overlap.
Yes. A trust running several JAC-affiliated branches across Jharkhand's 24 districts can manage every branch under one account, with branch-level fee ledgers, consolidated reporting and a single Hindi-medium certificate template applied everywhere.
Most JAC schools are live within two to three weeks. SchoolDeck imports your existing student and staff lists from Excel, maps them to the e-Vidyavahini fields, and the team verifies a sample of Hindi certificates before go-live so spelling and layout are correct from day one.
