Board of Secondary Education Bihar (BSEB) is likely to release the 2018 12th or intermediate compartment exam result around August 16th, reports Indian Express. An official from BSEB told the newspaper, “The board will release the results of Class 12 compartment examinations between July 16 to 20.” The board will release the results at biharboardonline.com.

The board had released the answer keys to objective portion of the exam on August 5th. Students could register their objection against the answers at the Board’s official website on or before August 8th.

The board conducts compartment exam for students who could not clear one or two subjects in the 12th intermediate exam. Around 1.55 lakh students appeared in the 2018 intermediate compartment exam. The exam was conducted from July 13th to July 20th.

From 2018, the board has made 50% of the questions objective type that will be filled in an OMR sheet. The purpose of this change was to improve the pass percentage of the board. The board has been registering very poor pass percentages for the past few years.

The 2018 intermediate exam was declared on June 6th in which around 6.3 lakh students had participated. The overall pass percentage was 53%. The Commerce stream scored 91% but the Science stream could only manage 44%.
