How to use this syllabus for the 2027 exam
- Read from the prescribed textbook first. Bihar Board questions are framed from these books, so a guide book is no substitute.
- Finish one chapter, then test it. Take the chapter-wise test right after reading — it shows what you actually remember.
- Keep a weak-chapter list. Any chapter where you score below 60% goes on the list for weekly revision.
- Do not skip the language subjects. Hindi, English and Sanskrit objective questions are some of the easiest marks to secure if you know each chapter’s author and theme.
This list follows the textbooks prescribed by BSEB. The board may change the syllabus — always check the latest notice on the official BSEB website. See all subjects on our Bihar Board Class 10 online test page.
