Where to Check Your BSEB Compartment Result 2026
The board has hosted the results on two mirror portals to handle traffic load:
- compartment.biharboardonline.org (primary compartment portal)
- interbiharboard.com (Class 12 mirror)
- biharboardonline.bihar.gov.in (main BSEB site for marksheet)
To check the scorecard you will need your roll number and roll code from the original main exam admit card. The provisional marksheet downloaded from the portal is valid for college admission and counselling until the printed marksheet is dispatched to schools.
BSEB Compartment Scrutiny 2026: How to Apply
Candidates who are not satisfied with their compartment exam marks can apply for scrutiny (re-checking) between 25 May and 29 May 2026. Scrutiny does not involve re-evaluation — examiners only verify that all answers were marked, totalled correctly, and that no question was left unchecked. The fee is Rs 120 per subject, payable online.
- Visit the official BSEB compartment portal at compartment.biharboardonline.org or the inter portal at intermediate.biharboardonline.com.
- Click on the “Scrutiny Application 2026” link active from 25 May 2026.
- Enter your roll number, roll code, and other authentication details.
- Select the subject(s) for scrutiny.
- Pay Rs 120 per subject through the integrated payment gateway.
- Download and save the application receipt for tracking.
The revised scrutiny result is typically published 3-4 weeks after the application window closes. If your marks change after scrutiny, the updated marksheet supersedes the original one.
What If You Did Not Clear the Compartment Exam?
Candidates who did not clear in May 2026 have two pathways:
- Special exam / second compartment chance: BSEB occasionally announces a second special compartment window for genuinely deserving cases — typically in late August or September. Watch biharboardonline.bihar.gov.in for any official notice.
- Re-appear in 2027 main exam: Failed candidates can register for the BSEB Class 12 main exam in February 2027 either through their original school or as private (swatantra) candidates. Form-fill-up windows usually open in August-September 2026.
The board has also been piloting a one-month bridge course for failed compartment candidates from 2027 onwards, designed to fix conceptual gaps before the next attempt. Operational details of the bridge course will be notified by BSEB closer to the 2027 cycle.
Next Steps: College Admission for Cleared Candidates
Candidates who cleared in May 2026 can now proceed with the Bihar state college admission cycle (B.A. / B.Sc. / B.Com. and professional courses), which uses the Bihar State University Online Portal (OFSS Bihar) for centralised seat allotment. The OFSS portal usually opens its second admission window in early June precisely to accommodate freshly cleared compartment candidates.
For students targeting central universities, the CUET UG 2026 cycle is already in process — check our CUET UG counselling timeline for the latest dates and seat-acceptance deadlines.
