In 2017 also, a total of 17 lakh students sat for the exam and 14 lakh students took the exam in 2016. The BSEB, which has drawn flak in the past for failing to arrest exam malpractices (with images of parents scaling walls to help students cheat gone viral), had ensured tough measures to ensure fairplay. This year, the BSEB had directed students to wear slippers or flip flops in an effort to curb instances of cheating. The board disallowed students from wearing shoes and socks, reports said. The BSEB had also prepared as many as 10 different sets of question papers to avoid any malpractice. A special team of invigilators was also appointed this year to avoid cheating, The Indian Express reported_._  Follow these steps to check the class 10 result 2019: Step 1: Visit the official website: biharboardonline.in/Result or other official websites :bsebssresult.com, biharboardonline.bihar.gov.in, biharboard.ac.in and bsebinteredu.in Step 2: Click on the link: Bihar Board matric result 2019.
