Those securing fourth to tenth positions will get financial assistance of Rs 10,000 and a laptop.

With regard to the 42,000 missing answersheets, if a student applies for scrutiny and his answersheet is one of them, a committee will be set up to decide the matter. Close to 17.70 lakh students appeared for the Class 10th exams which were held from February 21 to 28.  Nearly 1,426 examination centres were allotted across the state for the said purpose. Practical examinations were conducted from January 22 to 24.

Earlier, the results were scheduled to be released on June 20th, but were deferred due to exigencies.

Bihar results have been making headlines for the past couple of years due to scams. This time too, 42,000 answer sheets were lost from SS Balika High School, which placed the Bihar Education Board in the line of fire. The missing answer sheets is why the class 10 results were deferred from June 20th.

Following the disappearance, the State Board went into a frenzy and apprehended the headmaster, Pramod Srivastava, along with his peon Chattu Singh, and a security guard. An SIT was established which concluded that Chattu Singh sold the answer sheets to a local scrap dealer Pappu Gupta for Rs. 8,000. Police have taken the scrap dealer into custody, however, the answer sheets are still untraceable.
