The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has finalized entry rules for the Intermediate (Class 12) exams in 2026. Students must arrive at their assigned exam centers according to the times specified on their admit cards. Latecomers will not be allowed to enter the examination hall.
Exam Schedule and Entry Timings
The BSEB Class 12 exams are scheduled to take place from February 2 to February 12, 2026 . The exams will be conducted at designated centers across the state. These strict entry timings are implemented to prevent last-minute rushes and ensure the smooth conduct of examinations.
Shift Details and Reporting Times
The examinations will be held in two shifts daily for all three streams. Students are urged to check their admit cards for specific shift details and reporting times. Failure to adhere to these timings can result in disqualification.
| Shift | Exam Start Time | Student Reporting Deadline | Gate Closing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shift 1 | 9:30 AM | 8:30 AM | 9:00 AM |
| Shift 2 | 2:00 PM | 1:00 PM | 1:30 PM |
Consequences of Late Entry
The BSEB has stated that candidates arriving after the prescribed gate closing times will be denied entry. In previous instances, the board has taken strict action against students attempting to force their way into exam premises after the deadline. Such actions can lead to expulsion from the examination for two years and the filing of a First Information Report (FIR).
Students are advised to plan their travel to the exam centers well in advance. Double-checking admit card details for accuracy and ensuring they have all necessary stationery is also recommended. The board emphasizes that all candidates must cooperate with the invigilation staff and follow exam regulations strictly.
