Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has decided to declare ISc results on a priority basis and before the IA and ICom results, now onwards.
The BSEB move comes in the wake of the new pattern of JEE for admission to NITs and other engineering colleges under which 40% weightage is to be determined by the ISc marks of the candidates. JEE (Mains) this year is scheduled for April 7. "We have decided to prioritize the ISc results so that engineering aspirants among our students do not suffer," BSEB secretary Lalan Jha told.
More than nine lakh students across the state would take the Bihar board's Intermediate exams this year scheduled to commence from February 18. Another 14 lakh students will take the Bihar board's Class X exams which will start on March 12. All the results will be declared by May-end, said Jha.
The board has also decided to make admit cards of Class X and XII examinees available on its website www.biharboard.net though a hard copy of the same will also be sent to the examinees. The admit cards will be available online almost 10 days before the commencement of the exams. "A printout of the same signed by the headmaster concerned will be a valid document," Jha said and added the facility would be of help in case of non-receipt of admit cards due to different reasons.
Tele-counselling sessions will also be organized for Class X examinees in the first week of February. Experts from Patna will address the queries and doubts of students pertaining to any portion of any subject, Jha said.
Asked if the BSEB has decided to make changes in the pattern of +2 exams in view of the new JEE pattern, Jha said the board was in talks with COBSE ( Council of Boards of School Education) to implement a new pattern that would be uniform across the country. "But the +2 examinations this year will be held on the old pattern," he said.
