The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) will award 8 grace marks to matriculation students who wrote the Board exams this year. The Board has released the results of class 10 today on biharboard.ac.in and indiaresults.com.

13.91 per cent of the total students have passed with first division, 26.88 per cent with second division and 9.32 per cent with third division. Prem Kumar of Lakhi Sarai govt school has topped with 93 per cent marks. He has secured 465 marks out of 500.

Bhavya Kumari and Harshita Kumari from Simultala residential school have secured the second and the third position with 92.8 per cent (Total marks 464) and 92 per cent respectively.

The Board had sent a proposal to the state government requesting permission to award 8 grace marks, according to a report by Prabhat Khabar. This decision will help boost the poor pass percentage of the matric results this year.
