This will provide students with convenience in selecting and answering the questions they are presented with.

At the Matriculation level, the Mathematics paper will include a total of 138 questions. Out of these, 100 will be MCQs, of which only 50 will be mandatory to answer. If a student answers more than 50 MCQs, the evaluation will be based solely on the first 50 answers. Additionally, there will be 30 short answer questions, of which 15 will need to be answered. Out of eight long answer questions, four will be required to be answered. This pattern will be applicable to other subjects, including Science.

Bihar Board Model Paper 2026: Intermediate Pattern

The pattern for the Intermediate examinations will also follow a similar structure. For instance, the Chemistry paper will be out of a total of 70 marks and will include 96 questions. Among these, 70 will be MCQs, of which 35 must be answered. Out of 20 short answer questions, 10 will be mandatory to answer, and out of six long answer questions, three will need to be answered. This pattern will be applied to other subjects as well, ensuring a uniform structure for students. During the examination, students will be given an additional 15 minutes of 'cool-off time' to read the question paper, allowing them to understand and attempt it more effectively.
