The BSEB Class 10 Board Examination 2026 Mathematics paper was held statewide on 18 February 2026 in two shifts for candidates appearing in the Bihar matric annual exams. The board reported a smooth overall conduct of the exam, while strict vigilance led to disciplinary action against multiple examinees for violating rules.
Bihar Board Class 10 Exam Conduct and Malpractice Cases
The Mathematics exam took place at 1,699 centres, with exams scheduled in two sessions, the first from 9:30 AM to 12:45 PM and the second from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. A total of 15,12,687 students registered to sit for the test, including 7,85,726 girls and 7,26,961 boys according to board data.
