The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has officially declared the results for the 2025 Class 10 examinations, marking a significant moment for students across the state. The results were announced on March 29, 2025, at noon, during a press conference held by State Education Minister Sunil Kumar and BSEB Chairman Anand Kishor.
This year, around 15.85 lakh students participated in the Bihar Board Class 10 exams, which took place from February 17 to February 25, 2025. The exams were conducted in two shifts daily, ensuring that students had ample opportunity to showcase their knowledge. The first shift ran from 9:30 AM to 12:45 PM, while the second shift was from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM.
In a remarkable achievement, the overall pass percentage for the Bihar Board 10th results stood at 82.11%. This figure reflects a slight increase from the previous year's pass percentage of 82.91%. According to BSEB data, a total of 123 students made it to the top 10 list, comprising 60 girls and 63 boys. Among the top scorers, three students—Sakshi Kumari from Samastipur, Anshu Kumari from Dehri, and Ranjan Verma from Bhojpur—each secured an impressive 489 marks, translating to a percentage of 97.80%.
The results can be checked by visiting the official websites, matricresult2025.com and matricbiharboard.com. Students can also access their results through NDTV's dedicated page, which provides a straightforward method for checking scores. To retrieve their results, students need to enter their roll number and roll code.
In a notable change this year, the Bihar Board has doubled the prize money for the top performers. The first-place winner will receive ₹2 lakh, along with a laptop and a Kindle e-reader. The second-place winner will take home ₹1.5 lakh, while the third-place winner will receive ₹1 lakh. Students ranked from fourth to tenth will receive ₹30,000 each. This increase in rewards aims to motivate students to excel in their studies.
For students who did not pass, there are options available. Those who fail in one or two subjects can sit for compartment exams to improve their scores. The BSEB has established clear guidelines, stating that students must achieve at least 33% in each subject to pass. This policy remains consistent with previous years, ensuring that students are well aware of the requirements.
In a press conference following the results announcement, BSEB Chairman Anand Kishor emphasized the board's commitment to transparency and efficiency in the examination process. He noted that the board has been able to announce results earlier than many other state boards, which has become a hallmark of BSEB's operations. This year’s results were released just a few days earlier than last year's, continuing a trend of timely announcements.
Students from Purnia, one of the districts in Bihar, made a notable contribution to the overall numbers, with around 30,000 students participating in the exams. The board has also provided alternative methods for students to check their results, especially for those without internet access. Students can send a simple SMS in the format "BIHAR10 space ROLLNUMBER" to 56263 to receive their results via text message.
The BSEB has also taken steps to address issues that arose in previous years, such as website crashes due to high traffic when results are announced. This year, the board prepared for the influx of users by ensuring that their servers could handle the increased load. However, students are still advised to use alternative methods like SMS or designated result portals if they encounter difficulties accessing the official sites.
As students celebrate their successes, many are already looking ahead to their next steps. With the Class 10 results in hand, students have the option to pursue further education either within the Bihar Board or switch to other boards like CBSE or ISC. This flexibility allows students to choose the educational path that best suits their aspirations.
In summary, the Bihar Board Class 10 results for 2025 reflect a year of hard work and dedication among students. With a commendable pass rate and an increased emphasis on rewarding top performers, the BSEB continues to foster an environment of academic excellence. As the dust settles on this year's exams, students are encouraged to reflect on their achievements and plan for their futures with optimism.
