New Delhi, March 24, 2026: Following the declaration of the Intermediate (Class 12) results on March 23, 2026, the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has officially released the schedule for the Scrutiny process, Compartment exams, and Special examinations. These post-result facilities are designed to assist students who are either dissatisfied with their current scores or need a second chance to clear their subjects within the same academic year.
According to the official announcement by BSEB Chairman Anand Kishore, the application window for all three processes will open simultaneously on March 25, 2026, and will conclude on April 2, 2026.
BSEB 12th Scrutiny 2026: Re-evaluation Details
The scrutiny process is aimed at students who believe their answer sheets were not evaluated correctly or that there was a discrepancy in the totaling of marks.
- Application Period: March 25 to April 2, 2026.
- Mode of Application: Online via the official portal (interbiharboard.com).
- What Happens in Scrutiny? The board re-checks the answer scripts for any uncounted marks or totaling errors. It is important to note that marks may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged, and the result of the scrutiny is considered final.
Compartment and Special Exams 2026
The board provides a vital lifeline for students to save their academic year through these two distinct examination categories:
1. Compartment Examination
This is specifically for students who failed to secure the minimum passing marks in one or two subjects. By appearing for the compartment exam, students can clear their backlogs without having to repeat the entire year.
2. Special Examination
Introduced to support student welfare, the Special Exam is for those who:
- Missed the main February exams due to technical reasons or illness.
- Could not fill out the original examination form on time.
- Wish to improve their overall marks (Improvement category).
The application window for both exams is March 25 to April 2, 2026. The BSEB aims to conduct these exams in May 2026, with a target to declare results by May 31, 2026, ensuring students can participate in upcoming college admission cycles.
