bihar board 10th 2026 merit list release is awaited by lakhs of Matric students in Bihar as the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) prepares post-evaluation processes after the annual Class 10 examination cycle. The merit list is issued along with or shortly after the result declaration and identifies state toppers district-wise and category-wise.
As of now, the board has not announced any official date for the merit list publication. Students are watching the official portal because the merit list confirms topper rankings, verification status, and scholarship eligibility.
When will the Bihar Board Matric 2026 merit list be released?
The merit list will be released only after the Class 10 result is declared officially.
BSEB traditionally publishes the Matric result first and then uploads the topper list after verification of high scorers. The board conducts physical verification and short interviews of top candidates to prevent irregularities. Only after this process does the final merit list appear online.
Expected timeline (based on past trends — not official)
- Exams usually held: February
- Result declaration: March end / early April
- Merit list release: Same day or within 24–48 hours
For 2026, the board has not confirmed any date yet, so students should treat all social media claims as unofficial.
What has the Bihar School Examination Board officially said?
The board has only confirmed that results and merit details will be published on the official website.
