Bihar Board 12th Scrutiny Form 2026

Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), Patna 

WWW.INDIARESULTTIMES.COM

All students who appeared for the Bihar Board Class 12th examination in 2026—specifically those who feel they have received low marks, or those who failed the examination due to a specific subject—are eligible to fill out the Bihar Board Class 12th Scrutiny Form 2026. This includes:

• Students who failed in one or two subjects.
• Students who passed but had expected a higher percentage.
• Students who felt there was a technical glitch in their digital marksheet.

Note: Scrutiny is intended solely for those who wish to have the “totaling” of marks and “unchecked questions” in their previous answer sheets verified. If, however, you feel that you performed poorly in the examination and wish to retake it, you should opt for the Compartmental Examination instead of scrutiny.

According to the rules of the Bihar Board, the scrutiny fee is charged per subject :

• Verification Fee: ₹120 per subject.
• Calculation: If you wish to have the answer sheet for only one subject re-verified, you must pay ₹120. If you apply for two subjects, this amount will be ₹240 (Rs.120 \times 2 = Rs.240).
• Mode of Payment: The scrutiny fee can be deposited only through online modes. Cash or offline challans are not accepted at the Board office. You may use the options provided below:

1. UPI: Via Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm.
2. Debit/Credit Card: Using an ATM card from any bank.
3. Net Banking: Using your bank account login details.

Important Points Regarding Fees :

• No Refunds: Once the fee has been deposited, it will not be refunded under any circumstances—regardless of whether your marks increase or remain unchanged.
• Additional Service Charges: Occasionally, when making online payments, the bank may deduct an additional ‘transaction fee’ of ₹1–2.
• Payment Receipt: After depositing the fee, please ensure that you download or print the Payment Acknowledgment Slip. This will prove useful in the event of a failed payment or if you are required to provide proof to the Board.

Note: Apply for scrutiny only if you are fully confident that there is a possibility of your marks increasing, as ₹120 per subject is no small amount—especially when you are applying for more than one subject.

Filling out the Bihar Board Class 12 Scrutiny Form 2026 can lead to three possible outcomes:

If you have any doubts regarding the Bihar Board Class 12 Scrutiny Form 2026, the questions and answers provided below will assist you:

Q1. What is the deadline for filling out the scrutiny form ?
Ans: According to the Bihar Board, the online application window for Class 12 scrutiny opened on March 25, 2026, and the deadline has been set for April 2, 2026. The link will cease to function after this date.

Q2. Can marks decrease after scrutiny ?
Ans: Yes, this is an important point to keep in mind. During the scrutiny process, marks can change in three ways: they may increase, remain unchanged, or—if a calculation error occurred previously—they may even decrease. Therefore, you should apply only if you are absolutely confident.

Q3. What is the fee per subject ?
Ans: For the Bihar Board Class 12 Scrutiny Form 2026, the Board has fixed a fee of ₹120/- per subject. The total fee will increase based on the number of subjects you choose.

Q4. When are the scrutiny results released ?
Ans: Scrutiny results are generally released within approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the online application process concludes. You will be able to check your results on the Board’s official website by entering your previous Roll Code and Roll Number.

Q5. Can students who have failed also apply for scrutiny ?
Ans: Absolutely! If you have failed in one or two subjects and feel that you performed well in the examination, you may apply for scrutiny. Often, a student is marked as failed due to a totaling error, which can be rectified through the scrutiny process.

Q6. What is the difference between scrutiny and a compartmental examination ?
Ans: Scrutiny involves a re-examination (re-totaling of marks) of your original answer sheet. Conversely, in a compartmental examination, you are required to retake the exam for that specific subject. If you believe that your answer sheet was evaluated incorrectly, opt for scrutiny; however, if you feel that you performed poorly in the examination itself, choose the compartmental option.

Q7. I did not receive an “Application ID” while filling out the scrutiny form; what should I do ?
Ans: The Application ID appears on the screen immediately after you register for the first time. If you forgot to save it, a “Forgot Application ID” option is available on the portal, where you can retrieve it by entering your Roll Code and Roll Number.
