The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has dropped an academic bombshell that could affect nearly 500,000 students. New deadlines for the crucial 12th-grade examinations have been announced – and missing these dates could mean disaster for Inter students across the state.
The Make-or-Break Schedule
BSEB has declared November 19-26, 2025 as the examination period for Class 12 pre-board “sent-up” tests. These exams aren’t just practice – they’re the golden ticket to appearing for final board exams in 2026. Here’s why every student needs to pay attention:
Critical Deadlines You Can’t Miss
| Process | Dates |
|---|---|
| Sent-Up Exams | November 19-26, 2025 |
| Registration Form Submission | August 28 – September 3, 2025 |
| Declaration Form Upload | August 28 – September 8, 2025 |
| Late Registration (With Fee) | September 26 – October 3, 2025 |
The 75% Rule That Could Ruin Everything
BSEB has reinstated the strict attendance policy with no exceptions:
- Minimum 75% attendance mandatory for both sent-up and final exams
- Students must pass sent-up exams to qualify for finals
- No special provisions for medical or other exceptions
What Happens If You Miss Deadlines?
District Education Officer Sanjay Kumar warns: “Last year, 39,143 students were barred for missing declaration forms. This year, we won’t entertain any late submissions. The online system will automatically reject incomplete applications.”
How to Survive the Registration Process
Follow these 5 crucial steps to ensure your eligibility:
- Confirm your school has uploaded the dummy enrollment card
- Verify personal details match official records
- Get declaration form signed by parents AND principal
- Upload scanned documents in specified JPG format
- Keep printed confirmation receipt until 2026 results
The Hidden Danger in Exam Timing
Students face a marathon testing schedule with two daily shifts:
| Shift | Timing |
|---|---|
| Morning | 9:30 AM – 12:45 PM |
| Afternoon | 2:00 PM – 5:15 PM |
Science stream students face particularly grueling back-to-back Physics and Chemistry papers on November 19.
Last-Minute Checklist
Before submitting forms, ensure you have:
- White-background passport photo (40-100 KB)
- Scanned signature in JPG format
- Active mobile number for OTP verification
- Correct caste category documentation
What Students Are Saying
“The declaration form requirement scared us,” admits Riya Kumari, a Patna student. “We made 10 copies just in case the upload fails. Nobody wants to lose a year over paperwork.”
The Road Ahead
School heads must submit Class 12 sent-up results to District Education Offices by December 5, 2025. Students should monitor the official BSEB Information App for real-time updates and potential deadline extensions.
Bihar Education Minister Prof. Chandrashekhar reminds students: “This is about accountability. We’re preparing you for competitive exams where deadlines are non-negotiable.”
