What is Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027?
Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027, also called the BSEB Matric Exam or Bihar Board 10th Exam, is the annual secondary school leaving examination conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). The board is headquartered in Patna and operates under the Government of Bihar. Passing this exam is mandatory for students who want to move to Class 11 and pursue further education in the arts, science, or commerce streams.

Bihar Board 10th Registration 2027
The registration window for Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027 was open from August 25 to September 16, 2026. The window has now closed. If you missed the deadline, you should check with your school principal about any special re-registration window that BSEB may announce for late applicants.
How Bihar Board 10th Registration Works
Students cannot register on their own. The school’s principal or exam in-charge submits the registration form on behalf of all students through the official BSEB portal. You need to give the following documents to your school:
- Passport-size photograph
- Aadhaar card details
- Bank passbook details (for scholarship/benefit purposes)
- APAAR ID (Academic Bank of Credits ID)
- Class 9 pass certificate
Bihar Board 10th Registration Fee 2027
| Category | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| Regular Students (through school) | ₹450 |
| Private / Independent Candidates | ₹580 |
The fee is non-refundable once submitted. Payment is made online through the school’s BSEB login. Students should keep a copy of the submitted registration form for future reference — this helps during any correction window or discrepancy resolution.
Registration Correction Window
BSEB usually opens a short correction window after the main registration closes. This lets students fix errors in their name, date of birth, photo, or subject combination. BSEB has not yet announced the correction window for 2027. When it opens, corrections must again go through the school principal — you cannot edit your form directly. Watch the official BSEB website for updates.
If your school has already submitted your registration, you will receive a dummy registration card that shows your enrolled details. Check all details carefully when this card is issued.
Bihar Board 10th Eligibility Criteria 2027

You must score at least 30% in each subject individually to pass the Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027. This means you need a minimum of 30 marks out of 100 in each subject. If you fail in one or more subjects, you can appear in the compartment exam held a few months after the main result.

Bihar Board 10th Preparation Tips 2027
With the Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027 about 5 months away, now is the right time to get your preparation on track. The exam tests your understanding of Class 9 and 10 topics. A structured plan helps you cover all subjects well before the exam.
Start with NCERT Textbooks
The Bihar Board 10th syllabus is closely based on NCERT. Start with the NCERT textbooks for Science, Mathematics, Social Science, and English. For Hindi, use the BSEB-prescribed textbook. If you can answer all NCERT exercise questions confidently, you have covered a large part of the paper.
Solve Previous Year Papers
Bihar Board Class X previous year papers from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 are freely available. Solving them gives you a clear idea of which topics come most often, how questions are worded, and how much time you need per section. Pay special attention to the objective section — 50 questions need to be answered in the first 45–60 minutes.
Focus on Mathematics Weak Areas
Mathematics is the subject where most students lose marks in Bihar Board 10th. You should identify your weak chapters early — usually Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, and Probability — and spend extra time on them. Practice at least 10–15 numericals per chapter until you can solve them without looking at the solution.
Revise Science Formulas and Definitions
In Science, the objective section tests your memory of definitions, formulas, and processes. Make a separate formula sheet for Physics and Chemistry. For Biology, draw and label diagrams as often as possible — BSEB frequently asks diagram-based questions in the subjective section.
English and Hindi Writing Practice
The writing section in both Hindi and English carries direct marks. You should practice letter writing, paragraph writing, and essay writing at least once a week. For English, ensure you have read all chapters in First Flight and Footprints Without Feet — summary-based questions come regularly.
Time Management on Exam Day
Give the first 45–60 minutes entirely to the objective (OMR) section. Fill the OMR sheet carefully — any stray marks can confuse the scanner. Then move to the subjective section. In subjects like Mathematics, write each step clearly because BSEB awards step marks even if your final answer is wrong.
Revision Schedule
- September–November 2026: Complete first reading of all chapters for all subjects.
- November–December 2026: Solve previous year papers and identify gaps.
- January 2027: Focused revision of weak areas and formula revision.
- February 2027 (before exam): Light revision, rest well, check exam centre location.
Bihar Board 10th Compartment Exam 2027
If you fail in one or two subjects in the Bihar Board Class X Exam 2027, you can appear in the Compartment (Supplementary) Exam. BSEB holds the compartment exam a few months after the main result, usually in June–July 2027. This gives you a second chance to pass without losing the entire academic year.
Compartment Exam Rules
- You can appear in the compartment exam if you fail in a maximum of two subjects.
- If you fail in three or more subjects, you must repeat the full exam in the next cycle (2028).
- In the compartment exam, you appear only in the subjects you failed. Subjects you passed are carried forward.
- The marks you score in the compartment exam replace the failed marks — your passed subjects remain unchanged.
- There is no change in exam pattern for the compartment exam — same objective + subjective format.
Compartment Exam Registration
BSEB announces the compartment exam registration window along with the result. You usually get about 10–15 days to apply. The application fee for compartment is separate and must be paid online. Watch the official BSEB website and your school notice board for announcements after the March/April 2027 result.
The compartment result also appears on your final marksheet, but it shows that you cleared the subject in compartment. Most Class 11 schools in Bihar accept compartment pass students — check with your intended school before admission.
