JCECEB took objections to the 2025 keys until 26 July 2025, and the top Intermediate-level score was 133.75 out of 150. The 2025 Matric-level question paper is not here, but its official key for sets A to D is.
How to Use Jharkhand Paramedical Previous Year Papers?
- Keep to one minute a question. 150 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes is exactly 60 seconds each. Aim to close each 50-question section in about 50 minutes.
- Guess with care. The 2019 booklets cut ¼ mark for each wrong answer. Under that rule a blind guess among four options is worth only about +0.06 marks, while ruling out two options lifts it to about +0.38.
- Solve the papers for your level. PCB students have 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2025 papers; PCM students have 2018, 2019 and 2025. Matric-level candidates have 2017, 2018 and 2019 papers.
- Start with 2025. It is the newest paper and has JCECEB’s own key, so you can mark yourself exactly as the board did.
- Stay exam-ready. The 2026 exam was postponed from 2 August 2026 and the new date is yet to be announced. Keep one timed paper a week going until JCECEB fixes the date.
