Historically, the BSEB has shown a trend of announcing results within 40 days following the conclusion of examinations. For reference, in 2024, the Class 12 exams were completed on February 12, and results were released on March 23—40 days later. In 2023, results followed a similar pattern, with examinations concluding on February 11 and results being available by March 21, just 38 days post-exam.
The BSEB Class 12 exam for the current academic year commenced on February 1 and concluded on February 15, 2025, with theory exams conducted in two shifts, starting at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each session included a 15-minute cool-off period before the exam commenced.
Upon the declaration of results, students can expect a detailed scorecard indicating vital statistics such as total aggregate marks, division status, and individual subject scores in theory and practical components. Categorization for divisions is based on specific scoring ranges. Students achieving a total score of 300 or more will be placed in the first division, those with scores from 225 to 299 in the second division, and those scoring between 150 and 224 in the third division.
Furthermore, students who do not meet the minimum passing criteria will have the opportunity to retake their exams in supplementary exams. Details regarding these supplementary examinations will be released post-results, along with information about any potential re-evaluation processes.
Students are encouraged to keep their admit cards handy when checking their results, as they will need their roll numbers and other details listed on their hall tickets to access their scores online. The BSEB is also expected to communicate the exact time of the result announcement via its official social media platforms on Twitter and Facebook.
