BSEB Revises BBOSE Class 12 Theory Exam Schedule 2026, Exams Now Begin from 31st July

The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has officially released a revised timetable for the Bihar Board of Open Schooling and Examination (BBOSE) Class 12 theory examinations for the June 2026 session. According to the board’s official notification, BBOSE 12th theory exams will now commence on July 31, 2026, and conclude on August 18, 2026. This is because two dates were rescheduled – Hindi/English ( from July 30 to August 17, 2026) and Geography/History (August 3 to August 18, 2026). 

The exams will be conducted across the state in two shifts: 1st shift (9:30 AM to 12:45 PM) and 2nd shift (2:00 PM to 5:15 PM). Students get an additional 15 minutes of reading time before each paper begins. Changes in BBOSE 12th theory exams were made due to unavoidable reasons. The schedule for BBOSE 12th practical exams, however, remains the same.
