==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 (India)|chief minister]] of the state.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://jac.jharkhand.gov.in/jac/about/ |title=About - Jharkhand Academic Council |publisher=Jac.jharkhand.gov.in |date= |accessdate=2020-03-08}}</ref>
