BSEB warns of FIRs and two-year ban for illegal entry during Bihar board Intermediate exams 2026

BSEB tightens exam security, centre superintendents face suspension for violations

The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has sent out a tough and unmistakable message ahead of the Intermediate Annual Examination, 2026: reach the exam centre on time—or face serious consequences.In an official post shared on X, the Board warned that candidates who try to enter examination centres illegally after the gates are closed will not only be barred from exams but could also find themselves facing criminal charges. According to the directive, all candidates must enter the exam centre one hour before the scheduled start time, and the main gate will be closed half an hour before the examination begins.Strict Rules to Prevent MalpracticeThe Board made it clear that any attempt to bypass this rule—whether by “jumping over the boundary wall or by forcibly and illegally entering the gate”—will be treated as criminal trespass. Such acts, BSEB said, amount to “a clear attempt to affect the purity of the malpractice-free examination and a criminal act.”The punishment is strict. Any candidate caught entering illegally after gate closure will be expelled from the examination for two years, and an FIR will be registered against them. But the action doesn’t stop with students. In a significant move to enforce accountability, the Board announced that the centre superintendent who allows such candidates to appear in the examination will be suspended, and legal action will also be initiated against them and other identified officials.Zero Tolerance for Latecomers and ViolationsWith this order, the BSEB appears determined to clamp down hard on last-minute chaos and reinforce discipline during one of the state’s most important examinations. The message is blunt and unmistakable: rules will be enforced, responsibility will be fixed, and there will be zero tolerance for shortcuts—by candidates or officials alike.
