The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has extended the admission deadline for Class 11 under the Online Facilitation System for Students (OFSS) until July 3, 2025. Initially, the first merit list was released on June 4 and students were given time till June 10 to confirm admission. The window was later extended to June 28 and now, in a significant relief to many, the board has offered a final extension. This decision aims to accommodate students who faced issues in securing their admissions on time. Those who miss this deadline risk losing their allotted seat, which will be marked vacant. The extension also gives fresh applicants an opportunity to submit new option forms for the second merit list.
BSEB OFSS 2025 admission process
Students allotted a seat in the first merit list must visit their designated school or college with the intimation letter downloaded from ofssbihar.net. They must complete admission formalities—document verification and fee payment—before July 3. If a student fails to confirm admission within this period, their seat will be declared vacant and removed from the portal.Candidates who were not allotted any seat in the first round can now fill out a fresh option form to be considered in the second merit list. It’s important to ensure that all selections and preferences are updated accurately in the portal before the final submission.
Second merit list timeline
Institutions have also been instructed to upload daily admission records from June 30 to July 4. These uploads are mandatory to ensure transparency and availability of remaining seats for the next merit round. Based on these records, BSEB will prepare the second merit list, expected to be released shortly after the deadline.Students are advised to keep checking the official website and stay in touch with their allotted institutions. For any queries or technical support, they can contact the BSEB helpline at 0612-2230009.
What’s next?
Once the extended deadline closes, BSEB will compile updated admission data and publish the second merit list. This list will offer fresh allotments based on remaining vacancies and student preferences. Those who miss the first round still have a strong chance of securing a seat through this second opportunity. Students are advised to check ofssbihar.net regularly for updates and ensure they respond promptly once the next merit list is released.
