The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has announced that the Class 10 (Matric) and Class 12 (Intermediate) marksheets for the year 2026 are now accessible on DigiLocker, a government-backed digital document platform. This initiative allows students to obtain their academic documents in digital form, making it easier to store, access, and share them when needed.
- Students can download their Bihar Board 2026 Class 10 and 12 marksheets from DigiLocker.
- Documents issued through DigiLocker are legally valid under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
- The digital marksheets help prevent issues related to lost or damaged physical certificates.
- Access requires Aadhaar verification and details like roll code and roll number.
- Academic documents from exams before 2026 will also be available soon on DigiLocker.
How can students download Bihar Board marksheets from DigiLocker?
Students need to visit the DigiLocker website or use the DigiLocker mobile app. After signing up or logging in with an Aadhaar-verified mobile number, they should navigate to the 'Issued Documents' or 'Search Documents' section. By selecting 'Bihar School Examination Board,' students can choose their Class 10 or Class 12 marksheet for the year 2026. They must enter details such as roll code, roll number, and examination year to access and download the document.
Are DigiLocker documents legally valid?
Yes, according to the BSEB, documents issued through DigiLocker hold the same legal status as original physical documents under the Information Technology Act, 2000. Since these digital certificates are obtained directly from the issuing authority, their authenticity is guaranteed. This legal recognition helps students use their digital marksheets for admissions, scholarships, job applications, and other official purposes without needing physical copies.
What are the benefits of having digital marksheets?
Digital marksheets reduce the risk of losing or damaging physical certificates. They also help prevent the circulation of fake documents. Students can quickly share their marksheets for verification during higher education admissions or job applications, speeding up these processes. The availability of digital documents also supports the government's push towards digital governance and paperless transactions.
Will older academic documents be available on DigiLocker?
BSEB Chairman Tyagarajan S.M. confirmed that academic documents from examinations conducted before 2026 will soon be uploaded to DigiLocker. Students will be informed through various communication channels once these documents become accessible. This expansion will further simplify access to official academic records for Bihar Board students.
Who is involved in this DigiLocker initiative?
This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Bihar School Examination Board, Digital India Corporation, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The BSEB also acknowledged the contribution of Deepak Kumar Singh, Additional Chief Secretary, Lok Bhavan, Patna, in implementing this project.
By making academic documents available digitally, the Bihar Board is enhancing convenience and security for students. This step aligns with the broader goal of promoting digital literacy and easy access to important records across India.
