Bihar BSEB Intermediate Psychology · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The BSEB Intermediate Psychology examination is the Class 12 psychology paper set by the Bihar School Examination Board for students in the Science, Commerce and Arts streams who choose psychology as one of their optional subjects. It is a school-leaving board paper rather than a professional certification: the score feeds into the Intermediate marksheet used for college admission and, in some cases, eligibility checks. The syllabus is the NCERT-aligned Class 12 psychology course, so the paper moves between theory-heavy topics such as schools of thought, personality approaches and psychopathology, and applied topics such as stress and coping, attitude change, group processes, environmental psychology and basic counselling and interviewing skills. There is also a small practical component involving experiments, psychological testing, case study or project work, assessed through a record file and, in many centres, a viva. The Bihar BSEB Intermediate Psychology case studies are 5 cases and about 5,034 words.
