Bihar Board Class 10 Result Previous Year Statistics
Looking at the Bihar Board Class 10 result over the past five years, the overall pass percentage has stayed in the range of 79–83%. Here is a year-wise comparison of student participation, pass percentage, and result dates:
Year Total Appeared Total Passed Overall Pass % Boys’ Pass % Girls’ Pass % Result Date 2026 15,10,928 12,35,743 81.79% 82.82% 80.82% March 29, 2026 2025 ~15 lakh ~12.3 lakh 82.11% — — March 29, 2025 2024 16,64,252 13,79,542 82.91% — — March/April 2024 2023 16,10,657 13,05,203 81.04% — — March/April 2023 2022 16,11,099 12,86,971 79.88% — — March/April 2022
Here is how the pass percentage has trended over the last five years:
Year Overall Pass % Year-on-Year Change 2022 79.88% — 2023 81.04% +1.16% 2024 82.91% +1.87% 2025 82.11% −0.80% 2026 81.79% −0.32%
The pass percentage rose steadily from 79.88% in 2022 to a peak of 82.91% in 2024, before a marginal dip in 2025 and 2026. The 2026 figure of 81.79% remains well above the 2022 baseline, showing consistent improvement in student outcomes over the five-year period. The small drop in the last two years likely reflects tighter evaluation and a return to pre-COVID assessment norms rather than any decline in student performance.

More girls appeared for the exam — 7,84,871 girls vs 7,26,057 boys — though boys’ pass percentage (82.82%) was about 2 percentage points higher this year. Around 4.43 lakh students secured First Division, showing strong academic performance across the state.

Bihar Board Class 10 Toppers 2026
Two students jointly topped Bihar Board Class 10 2026 with a score of 492 out of 500 (98.4%). BSEB declared the topper list along with the main result on March 29, 2026. Here is the complete topper list:
Rank Student Name Marks (out of 500) Percentage 1st (Joint) Pushpanjali Kumari 492 98.4% 1st (Joint) Sabrin Parveen 492 98.4% 2nd Nahid Sultana 489 97.8% 3rd (Joint) Anupa Kumari 488 97.6% 3rd (Joint) Om Kumar 488 97.6%
BSEB honours top-performing students with cash prizes and laptops to recognise their achievement. The top positions in 2026 were dominated by girl students, with four out of five named toppers being female — continuing a positive trend of girls excelling in Bihar Board exams. Both joint first-rank holders, Pushpanjali Kumari and Sabrin Parveen, achieved a near-perfect score, missing only 8 marks out of 500.
For 2025, the state topper was Sakshi from Samastipur, who scored 489 out of 500 (97.8%). The rising topper scores year over year — from 489 marks in 2025 to 492 marks in 2026 — point to improving academic preparation and quality of teaching across Bihar’s schools.
Bihar Board Class 10 Grading System and Division 2026
Bihar Board does not use a letter-grade or GPA system like CBSE. It uses a division-based marking system where your total marks out of 500 decide which division you fall in. Here is how the division system works:
Division Marks Range (out of 500) Percentage Equivalent First Division 300 and above 60% and above Second Division 225–299 45%–59.8% Third Division 150–224 30%–44.8% Fail Below 150, or less than 30% in any subject Below 30%
Passing Criteria — Key Rules:
- You must score at least 30% marks in each subject to pass.
- Your total aggregate must be at least 150 marks out of 500.
- English is a compulsory subject to appear in, but your English marks are not counted in the 500-mark aggregate for division purposes.
- The aggregate of 500 counts five subjects: Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and one optional subject (Sanskrit, Urdu, Arabic, Maithili, Bangla, Bhojpuri, etc.).
- You must pass all compulsory subjects to receive the Pass certificate.
For example, if you scored 295 marks in total (out of 500), you fall in Second Division. If you scored 302 marks, you are in First Division. Your marksheet will clearly mention your division alongside subject-wise marks. There is no grade point average (GPA) calculation — what you see is your actual marks and your division.

Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026: Grace Marks Policy
If you fell short in one or two subjects by a small margin, BSEB’s grace marks policy may have helped you pass without appearing for the compartment exam. Bihar Board applies grace marks automatically to borderline students — you do not need to apply separately. Here is how the rule works:
Scenario Grace Marks Rule Failed in 1 subject Grace marks of up to 8% of maximum marks in that subject may be granted to help you pass Failed in 2 subjects Grace marks of up to 4% of maximum marks in each subject may be granted Failed in 3 or more subjects Grace marks are not applicable
Here is a simple example: if a subject carries 100 marks and you scored 25, you need 5 more marks to hit the 30% minimum. Since 8% of 100 is 8, and you need only 5, BSEB may award grace marks to help you cross the threshold. The grace-adjusted marks appear as your final score on the marksheet — there is no separate indication of grace marks. This policy is designed to ensure that students who are just on the border do not lose an entire academic year over one or two subjects.
Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026: Revaluation and Scrutiny
If you feel your marks do not reflect your performance, you can apply for scrutiny of your Bihar Board Class 10 answer sheet. Note that BSEB does not offer full re-evaluation (where the answer sheet is marked from scratch). The scrutiny process only checks for clerical errors — such as marks not being totalled correctly or a question’s marks not being carried over.
Scrutiny Details for Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026:
Particulars Details Scrutiny Application Window April 1–7, 2026 (now closed) How to Apply Online on the official BSEB website, with payment of fee per subject What Scrutiny Covers Checking for totalling errors, missed marks, and clerical mistakes in answer sheet evaluation What Scrutiny Does Not Cover Re-marking or re-evaluation of written answers Scrutiny Result Timeline Typically within 30–45 days of application Corrected Marksheet Issued by BSEB if an error is found and marks are revised

What to Do After Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026
Once your result is out, your next steps depend on whether you passed, appeared for the compartment exam, or need to plan for next year. Here is a clear guide:
If You Passed the Main Exam:
- Choose your stream for Class 11: Decide between Science, Commerce, and Arts. Think about what subjects you enjoy and where you want your career to go before deciding.
- Apply for Class 11 admission: Most schools and intermediate colleges in Bihar start Class 11 admissions in May–June after the result. Collect the application form from your chosen school and submit your documents.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 15,10,928 | 12,35,743 | 81.79% | 82.82% | 80.82% | March 29, 2026 |
| 2025 | ~15 lakh | ~12.3 lakh | 82.11% | — | — | March 29, 2025 |

| 2023 | 16,10,657 | 13,05,203 | 81.04% | — | — | March/April 2023 |
| 2022 | 16,11,099 | 12,86,971 | 79.88% | — | — | March/April 2022 |
Here is how the pass percentage has trended over the last five years:
| Year | Overall Pass % | Year-on-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 79.88% | — |
| 2023 | 81.04% | +1.16% |
| 2024 | 82.91% | +1.87% |
| 2025 | 82.11% | −0.80% |
| 2026 | 81.79% | −0.32% |
The pass percentage rose steadily from 79.88% in 2022 to a peak of 82.91% in 2024, before a marginal dip in 2025 and 2026. The 2026 figure of 81.79% remains well above the 2022 baseline, showing consistent improvement in student outcomes over the five-year period. The small drop in the last two years likely reflects tighter evaluation and a return to pre-COVID assessment norms rather than any decline in student performance.

Bihar Board Class 10 Toppers 2026
Two students jointly topped Bihar Board Class 10 2026 with a score of 492 out of 500 (98.4%). BSEB declared the topper list along with the main result on March 29, 2026. Here is the complete topper list:

Both joint first-rank holders, Pushpanjali Kumari and Sabrin Parveen, achieved a near-perfect score, missing only 8 marks out of 500.
For 2025, the state topper was Sakshi from Samastipur, who scored 489 out of 500 (97.8%). The rising topper scores year over year — from 489 marks in 2025 to 492 marks in 2026 — point to improving academic preparation and quality of teaching across Bihar’s schools.
Bihar Board Class 10 Grading System and Division 2026
Bihar Board does not use a letter-grade or GPA system like CBSE. It uses a division-based marking system where your total marks out of 500 decide which division you fall in. Here is how the division system works:
| Division | Marks Range (out of 500) | Percentage Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| First Division | 300 and above | 60% and above |
| Second Division | 225–299 | 45%–59.8% |
| Third Division | 150–224 | 30%–44.8% |
| Fail | Below 150, or less than 30% in any subject | Below 30% |
Passing Criteria — Key Rules:
- You must score at least 30% marks in each subject to pass.
- Your total aggregate must be at least 150 marks out of 500.
- English is a compulsory subject to appear in, but your English marks are not counted in the 500-mark aggregate for division purposes.
- The aggregate of 500 counts five subjects: Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and one optional subject (Sanskrit, Urdu, Arabic, Maithili, Bangla, Bhojpuri, etc.).
- You must pass all compulsory subjects to receive the Pass certificate.
For example, if you scored 295 marks in total (out of 500), you fall in Second Division. If you scored 302 marks, you are in First Division. Your marksheet will clearly mention your division alongside subject-wise marks. There is no grade point average (GPA) calculation — what you see is your actual marks and your division.

Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026: Grace Marks Policy
If you fell short in one or two subjects by a small margin, BSEB’s grace marks policy may have helped you pass without appearing for the compartment exam. Bihar Board applies grace marks automatically to borderline students — you do not need to apply separately. Here is how the rule works:
| Scenario | Grace Marks Rule |
|---|---|
| Failed in 1 subject | Grace marks of up to 8% of maximum marks in that subject may be granted to help you pass |
| Failed in 2 subjects | Grace marks of up to 4% of maximum marks in each subject may be granted |
| Failed in 3 or more subjects | Grace marks are not applicable |
Here is a simple example: if a subject carries 100 marks and you scored 25, you need 5 more marks to hit the 30% minimum. Since 8% of 100 is 8, and you need only 5, BSEB may award grace marks to help you cross the threshold. The grace-adjusted marks appear as your final score on the marksheet — there is no separate indication of grace marks. This policy is designed to ensure that students who are just on the border do not lose an entire academic year over one or two subjects.
Bihar Board Class 10 Result 2026: Revaluation and Scrutiny
If you feel your marks do not reflect your performance, you can apply for scrutiny of your Bihar Board Class 10 answer sheet. Note that BSEB does not offer full re-evaluation (where the answer sheet is marked from scratch). The scrutiny process only checks for clerical errors — such as marks not being totalled correctly or a question’s marks not being carried over.
