Bihar Board Updates Photo Change Process for 10th and 12th Certificates

Bihar Board Announces New Photo Change Procedure

Bihar Board: Exciting news for all former students who have completed their 10th and 12th grades under the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). Those who have successfully passed their 10th and 12th exams can now easily update their photographs on their mark sheets and certificates. This significant change in policy has been implemented by BSEB to alleviate the challenges faced by past students regarding photo discrepancies. The board has released new guidelines to facilitate this process.

Let's explore the previous procedure for students who graduated from BSEB and the new rules for updating their photographs on official documents.
Previous Photo Change Regulations:
Previously, BSEB had a specific protocol for altering the photographs of former students on their 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates. Under the old guidelines, a student's photo needed to match in at least two of the documents issued by BSEB, such as the registration card, admit card, mark sheet, or certificate, before any changes could be made in the database. However, BSEB has recognized that many students have incorrect photos across their documents, leading to various complications.

New Procedure for Photo Changes:
With the updated rules, BSEB has streamlined the process for changing photos on mark sheets and certificates. Now, a photo can be updated via a letter from the school principal. This letter must be printed on the school's letterhead and should include both the current photo and the one taken during the examination year. Additionally, it must be countersigned by the relevant District Education Officer before submission to BSEB. Following this, BSEB will commence the photo change process.
