Bihar Board 10th Compartment Form 2026: The Application Window is Open
If you recently checked your Bihar Board Matric (Class 10) Result and discovered that you did not secure passing marks in one or two subjects, do not lose hope. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has officially announced the dates for the Compartment and Special Examinations 2026. This is a crucial “second chance” designed to help students save their academic year without having to repeat the entire 10th grade.
The application process for the Bihar Board 10th Compartment Form 2026 officially begins on April 1, 2026, and will conclude on April 7, 2026. Unlike the Scrutiny process (which students can do themselves online), the compartment form must be filled out and submitted through your respective school principals. Read on to understand the complete eligibility criteria, expected fees, and the step-by-step application procedure.

Understanding Compartment vs. Special Exams
The BSEB is conducting two distinct types of supplementary exams simultaneously. It is important to know which category you fall into:
1. The Compartment Exam
This exam is specifically for students who appeared for the main exams but failed to secure the minimum passing marks in one or a maximum of two subjects. If you failed in three or more subjects, you are not eligible for the Compartment Exam and must repeat the 10th grade next year.
2. The Special Exam
The Special Exam is a unique provision for students who:
- Were completely absent from the main exams.
- Missed one or two specific exams due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Had their examination forms rejected or unsent due to an error made by the school administration.
Students taking the Special Exam are allowed to take exams for all subjects, and their resulting marksheet will hold the same value as the regular annual marksheet.
Expected Application Fees
While the exact fee structure will be confirmed by your school administration, here is the expected fee breakdown based on BSEB guidelines:
| Student Category | Expected Fee Range |
|---|---|
| Regular / Independent Students | ₹1430 |
| Previously Failed Students | ₹1770 – ₹1830 |
| Vocational Course Students | ₹960 – ₹2170 |
Can I Apply for Both Scrutiny and Compartment?
Yes. If you failed a subject by just one or two marks, you can apply for Scrutiny (rechecking) online, AND simultaneously fill out the Compartment Form through your school. If your marks increase during the scrutiny process and you pass, your compartment application for that subject will simply become invalid, and you won’t need to take the exam.
How to Apply for the Bihar Board 10th Compartment Form 2026?
Unlike scrutiny, students cannot fill out the Compartment or Special Exam forms online by themselves. The process must be handled by your school. Follow these steps:
- Gather your documents: You will need a printed copy of your Class 10th provisional marksheet, your Admit Card (for Roll Code and Roll Number), Aadhaar Card, Passport-size photos, and a valid mobile number.
- Visit your respective School or College immediately.
- Request the Compartment / Special Exam Application Form from the administrative office.
- Fill out the form accurately, carefully selecting the exact subjects you need to reappear for.
- Submit the completed form along with the required application fee to the school principal or designated clerk.
- The school administration will then log into the official BSEB portal using their secure credentials and submit your application online on your behalf.
- Ensure you receive a confirmation receipt from the school for your records.
