Have you just checked your Bihar Board Class 12 results and feel like something isn’t quite right? Maybe you were just a few marks short of passing, or you expected a better score in a subject you thought you did well in. Don’t worry Bihar Board gives you a second chance through the Scrutiny Process. This article is here to guide you in the simplest way possible on how you can apply for scrutiny and possibly improve your marks.
What is Bihar Board 12th Scrutiny
Bihar Board 12th Scrutiny is an opportunity provided by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), Patna, for students who are not satisfied with their results. If you think your answer sheet was not checked properly or there’s a mistake in the total marks, you can request a recheck. Now, keep in mind, scrutiny doesn’t mean your entire paper will be re-evaluated. It simply means your existing answers will be checked again for any:
- Mistakes in totaling marks
- Unchecked answers that were missed
- Errors in transferring marks from inner pages to the front sheet
Sometimes, these small mistakes can cost you a pass mark. So this process could truly be a game-changer.
Important Dates You Must Remember
- Scrutiny Application Start Date: April 1, 2025
- Original Last Date: April 8, 2025
- Extended Payment Deadline: April 11, 2025
- Final Application Deadline: April 12, 2025
The board has kindly extended the dates to give every student a fair chance. So, if you were worried about missing the deadline, you still have time!
How Much is the Application Fee
The cost to apply for scrutiny is very student-friendly just ₹120 per subject. You can pay this amount online while filling the form. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind and possibly better results.

What Happens After You Apply
Once your scrutiny application is submitted:

- Please note: your marks can increase, decrease, or remain the same. It’s all based on what’s discovered during the recheck.
And here’s something important to know if you failed in one or two subjects and applied for the compartmental exam as well as scrutiny, and your marks increase through scrutiny and you pass, then your scrutiny result will be considered final, not the compartmental exam result.

Talk to your friends, teachers, or guardians, and take this step with full confidence. You never know, this could be the turning point you needed.
