BSEB Class 12 Compartment Result 2026 Update
The anxiousness of thousands of students from the Bihar Board will come to an end this week. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has announced that it will release the results of the Class 12 Intermediate Compartment and special examinations on its official portal by the end of May 2026.
After the announcement of the main annual result on March 23, 2026, the compartment and special exams will be held from May 2 to May 11, 2026. Students who appeared in compartment exams will need their roll number and roll code on hand before the results are out.
Multiple educational sources aligned with the BSEB 2026 academic calendar have stated that the board has set an internal goal of announcing the compartment results by May 31, 2026. This goal is in correlation with the past few years. The compartment results for 2022 were announced on May 25, and for 2023 on May 31. The Bihar Board has stuck with this trend for several years. Hence, students can expect the same for this year.
Why Compartment Exams are Important
The Bihar Board of Secondary Education (BSEB) announced the Bihar Board Class 12 results for 2026 on March 23, 2026. The overall passing rate for 2026 decreased to 85.19 % from 86.50% in 2025. Over 1300000 candidates appeared for the annual exams, as reported in February 2026; over 1400 exam centres were set up across the state of Bihar.
The majority of candidates passed. Yet, a significant number of candidates fell short of the minimum passing mark in one or two papers. For these candidates, the compartment exam offers the opportunity to gain a passing certificate, gain admission into a college in the same academic year, and avoid the disruption of repeating an entire year. The Board opened the window for compartment exam applications from March 25 to April 2, 2026. The application fee was Rs 120 per subject, which was to be paid online. Candidates who applied are now awaiting results.
Exam Format and Minimum Passing Criteria: An Overview of the Compartment Test
The 2026 Class 12th BSEB compartment tests were conducted from 02/05/2026 to 11/05/2026 based on a two-shift timetable. The morning shift ran from 09:30 to 12:45, and the afternoon shift from 14:00 to 17:15. BSEB announced the timetable on 13/04/2026, and it was the same for all three streams of study, i.e. Arts, Science and Commerce.
The compartment exams were passed if the candidate scored at least 33 in each subject. In the language subjects, the minimum passing score was relaxed to 30. These were the same criteria as the annual board examinations. Candidates who passed the compartment exams were awarded a pass certificate. For the purposes of college admissions and eligibility for higher studies, they were treated at par with candidates who passed the main annual exams.
The Bihar Board uses a system of nine categories to grade performance. Listed on the result are the name of the candidate, roll number, marks in theory and in practical, division and overall qualifying status. Candidates who fail compartment exams may appear for the full board examinations conducted the following year.
