Bihar Board Class X Compartment Exam 2027

Bihar Board (BSEB) conducts the Class 10 Matric examination for lakhs of students every year across Bihar. In 2026, over 16 lakh students appeared in the Bihar Board Class 10 main examination, of which a significant proportion secured compartment status due to failure in one subject. BSEB allows these students a single compartment attempt — known locally as the Sannidhi Pariksha — to clear the outstanding subject without losing the academic year. For the 2027 cycle, the process and eligibility rules are expected to remain consistent with 2026 norms, subject to any official changes announced by BSEB.

Bihar Board Class X Compartment Exam Fee Structure

BSEB charges a nominal application fee for the compartment exam, which is significantly lower than the main exam registration fee. The fee is payable online through the BSEB portal at the time of application. The 2027 compartment exam fee will be confirmed in the official BSEB compartment notification; the amounts below are based on 2026 fee norms. A late fee applies if students submit the application after the standard deadline.

Note: Fee amounts above are indicative based on BSEB’s historical compartment exam fee structure. The official 2027 fee will be published in the BSEB compartment notification. Fee is payable online only through the BSEB portal — no cash payments at school or BSEB offices. Once submitted, the compartment application fee is non-refundable.

How to pay the Bihar Board compartment exam fee?

• Online Payment: Fee is paid online through the BSEB portal (biharboardonline.bihar.gov.in) using net banking, UPI, or debit/credit card.
• Through School (Regular Students): For school-enrolled students, the school’s administrative staff typically collects the fee and submits the application on behalf of students. Confirm with your school whether fee is to be paid to the school or directly on the portal.
• Receipt: Download and save the payment receipt after successful fee payment — this serves as proof of application in case of any discrepancy.

Bihar Board Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2027

To pass the Bihar Board Class X compartment exam, students must score a minimum of 33% in the subject they are appearing for. The minimum passing marks in Bihar Board Class X is 33 out of 100 for each subject — students must meet this threshold combining theory and internal/practical marks. Students who score between 33 and 40 marks receive Grade D; scores below 33 result in a fail (Grade E).

For subjects with a practical or internal assessment component, students must independently meet the minimum threshold in both theory and internal/practical. Securing high marks in internal assessment alone is not sufficient to compensate for a very low theory score — BSEB requires a minimum qualifying performance across both components.

Note: Passing marks are computed as 33% of total marks per component. Where 33% yields a decimal, BSEB rounds up to the next whole number. Verify the official 2027 passing criteria in the BSEB notification — the board may specify component-wise minimum marks separately.

Is 26 a passing mark out of 80 in Bihar Board?

Yes. 26 out of 80 is the minimum passing mark for the theory portion of a Bihar Board Class X subject (33% of 80 = 26.4, rounded up to 27 by some calculations; BSEB practice rounds 26.4 to 26 or 27 — always confirm with the official BSEB notification). When you add the minimum 7 marks required from the 20-mark internal/practical component, the combined total is 33 marks out of 100, which satisfies the 33% overall passing criterion. Scoring exactly 26 in theory and exactly 7 in internal means you achieve 33/100 — the borderline pass. A score of 25 in theory alone, even with full internal marks (20/20 = 45 total), may be treated as a fail by BSEB if component-wise minimums apply.

Bihar Board Class X Grading System

BSEB assigns letter grades to Bihar Board Class X students based on their percentage of marks in each subject. The grading system ranges from A1 (highest, 91–100%) to E2 (lowest, 0–20%) — grades A1 through D indicate a pass, while grades E1 and E2 indicate a fail. Students who pass the compartment exam receive marks and grades on their revised mark sheet; the grade assigned depends entirely on their compartment exam performance, not on the original main exam marks for that subject.

Note: Bihar Board Class X mark sheets display both the numerical marks and the corresponding letter grade for each subject. The overall division (First, Second, Third) is calculated based on the aggregate percentage across all five main subjects. A pass in compartment with a D grade (33–40 marks) contributes a Grade Point of 4 to the aggregate CGPA calculation.
