The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has started giving out the original certificates for students who passed their Intermediate (Class 12) exams in 2025 . This is an important update for all students, including those who appeared for the Annual, Special, and Compartmental Examinations, as well as vocational courses.
These original certificates are crucial documents. They act as official proof that a student has completed their 12th class education. Students will need these certificates for various future steps, such as applying for higher education courses (like B.A., B.Sc., B.Com, or professional degrees), seeking jobs, or for other official purposes. Keeping this document safe is very important for every student's academic and career journey.
Key Dates for Certificate Collection
The BSEB has set clear dates for the distribution process to ensure everything runs smoothly:
- On November 12, 2025 , the Board sent all original certificates for successful candidates to their respective District Education Offices (DEOs) across Bihar.
- On November 13, 2025 , the heads (Principals or authorised representatives) of all intermediate schools and colleges were instructed to collect these certificates from their District Education Officers .
How Schools and Colleges Will Handle Certificates
The schools and colleges play a key role in making sure these certificates reach the right students. Here is what they need to do:
- Collection from DEO: School and college heads must visit their respective District Education Offices on November 13, 2025 , to pick up all the certificates meant for their students.
- Safe Record-Keeping: After collecting the certificates, schools must keep a careful record of them. This means documenting each certificate received and noting which student it belongs to.
- Distribution to Students: Once safely recorded, schools will then distribute these original certificates to the concerned students. Students are advised to contact their school or college office to find out the exact dates and times for collecting their personal certificates.
Important Verification Steps
To prevent any mistakes or issues, the BSEB has put in place important checks at different stages of the distribution process:
Verification by Schools
Schools have been given clear instructions to check every certificate very carefully before handing it over to a student. This is to make sure that:
- The certificate belongs to the correct student.
- All details on the certificate (like student name, father's name, roll number, marks, subjects) are accurate and match the student's records.
If a school accidentally receives certificates that belong to a different institution, they must not keep them. They are directed to return these misplaced certificates to the District Education Office immediately. This quick action helps in getting the certificates to the right school without delay.
Verification by District Education Offices
The District Education Officers (DEOs) also have a responsibility in this process. Before giving the certificates to school and college heads, the DEOs must:
- Verify Identity: Confirm the identity of the person collecting the certificates, ensuring they are indeed the authorised head or representative of the school/college.
- Check Recognition Status: Make sure that the institution (school or college) is officially recognised and allowed to operate. This step ensures that certificates are only given to legitimate educational bodies.
Advice for Students
If you appeared for the Intermediate exams in 2025 , please make sure to do the following:
- Contact Your School/College: Reach out to your school or college administration soon. Ask about the specific dates and procedures for collecting your original 12th-class certificate.
- Check Details Carefully: When you receive your certificate, immediately check all the information printed on it. Ensure your name, father's name, mother's name, date of birth, roll number, subjects, and marks are all correct. If you find any error, report it to your school authorities at once.
- Keep it Safe: The original certificate is a valuable document. Store it in a safe place, as you will need it for many years to come.
This organized distribution ensures that all successful students receive their official 12th-class certificates in a timely and secure manner, helping them move forward with their academic or professional plans.
