Bihar Board Exam Schedule 2026 Announced

The BSEB has taken a student-centric step by releasing the official model question papers well in advance of the 2026 board examinations. These model papers reflect the latest exam pattern, including the revised weightage for objective-type questions (now 50% in most subjects), compulsory multiple-choice sections, and the updated distribution of short-answer and long-answer questions.
This early availability is particularly beneficial for the over 30 lakh students expected to appear for Class 10 and Class 12 exams. It allows them enough time to practice the exact question formats they will face, identify key topics with higher weightage, improve time management during the 3-hour papers and reduce exam-day anxiety.
