Bihar Board Class 12 Exams Conclude Across the State

The Class 12 (Intermediate) annual examinations conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board concluded on February 13, marking the end of the statewide examination process that began earlier this month. Exams were held at hundreds of centres across Bihar with lakhs of students appearing from science, commerce, and arts streams.

Officials reported that the examinations were conducted largely in an orderly manner under strict surveillance and security arrangements.

71 Students Expelled for Unfair Practices

During the examination period, authorities took firm action against malpractice:

• 71 students were expelled from various exam centres for using unfair means such as carrying prohibited materials and violating examination rules.
• These cases were reported from multiple districts, with invigilators and flying squads closely monitoring examination halls.

The board reiterated that zero tolerance was being followed to maintain the credibility of the examination system.

14 Impersonators Arrested During Checks

In addition to expulsions, 14 impersonators were arrested while attempting to write the exam on behalf of registered candidates. These individuals were caught during identity verification and surprise inspections conducted by district administrations and special monitoring teams.

Legal action has been initiated against those involved, and further investigations are underway to identify any organized networks behind impersonation attempts.

With the Class 12 examinations now complete, the board is preparing to begin the evaluation of answer scripts later this month. Special instructions have been issued to evaluators to ensure timely and transparent assessment so that results can be declared as per schedule.
