In recent months, BSEB has taken many crucial steps to improve the education system in the state.

Sent-up Examination
BSEB has asked every school to conduct sent-up examination. This exam will be based on the new pattern and will help students in getting familiar with the latest changes. It is mandatory for students to pass in the sent-up examination in order to appear in the annual class 10 Bihar board exams.
