BSEB opens Class 10, 12 registration for 2027 exams

Indian Opinion Analysis

The Bihar School Examination Board runs one of India's largest secondary exam systems, with over 15 lakh students appearing annually across Class 10 and 12. The registration timeline is unusually long, nearly 13 months, because schools must compile and verify data for a large student population, many in rural areas with limited digital access. The consolidated fee of Rs 1,430 for Class 12 reflects multiple state-imposed levies beyond the basic exam charge, a structure that has faced criticism from parent groups as burdensome. Separate streams, Arts, Science, Commerce, attract different practical exam fees, and the board requires advance permission for those candidates. The February 2027 exams will be held across thousands of centres statewide, and results typically follow in March, as in previous years. Students should ensure they apply before the September 2026 deadline to avoid late-fee penalties or registration rejection.
