The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has declared the Bihar D.El.Ed Joint Entrance Examination 2026 Result on 5 August 2026, and the much-awaited cut off and merit list process for admission to the 2-year Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) course, Session 2026-28, is now underway.
A total of 2,23,835 candidates appeared for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) held between 8 and 22 June 2026, out of which 1,65,609 candidates qualified — a pass percentage of 73.99%.
Qualified candidates can now download their scorecard from bsebdeled.com or deledbihar.com using their Application ID and Date of Birth, and must prepare for the next stage — online choice filling and counselling — which decides seat allotment across Bihar’s 306 NCTE-approved government and private D.El.Ed institutes offering a combined 30,750 seats. The qualifying marks this year stand at 35% for Unreserved (UR) candidates and 30% for SC/ST/PwD candidates, out of the total 120 marks, applied after score normalization across different test shifts.
The category-wise admission cut off — the minimum score actually required to secure a seat in a particular college, which is different from and generally higher than the passing/qualifying marks — is prepared by BSEB based on the final merit list and is expected to be published on the official portal shortly after the result, ahead of the choice-filling and counselling rounds. Since the exact 2026 cut off figures are being processed and released round-wise, candidates should treat any cut off numbers seen outside the official BSEB portal as indicative only.
Below is a complete breakdown of the Bihar D.El.Ed 2026 result and cut off process — key numbers, qualifying marks, previous year’s cut off trend for reference, how to check your scorecard, the counselling and choice-filling process, seat details, and documents required — followed by frequently asked questions.

Bihar DElEd 2026 Qualifying Marks (Passing Marks) |
|
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks (Out of 120) |
| Unreserved (UR) | 35% |
| SC / ST / PwD | 30% |
| Note: These are the minimum passing/qualifying marks for the entrance test — the actual college-wise admission cut off (marks needed to get a seat in a specific institute) is typically higher and is decided separately based on the merit list, seat availability, and number of applicants per college. Scores are normalized across different test shifts before the final merit list is prepared. | |
Bihar DElEd Previous Year (2025) Cut Off & Counselling Trend — For ReferenceThe 2026 category-wise, college-wise cut off list has not been separately published as of this article; BSEB typically releases it round-wise soon after the merit list, alongside choice filling. The table below shows how the process unfolded in the 2025 admission cycle, for reference only — actual 2026 dates and cut off marks will differ. |
|
| Round (2025 Cycle) | Approx. Timeline |
| 1st Merit List / Cut Off | Mid-December |
| Admission on 1st List | 5-6 days after list |
| 2nd Cut Off / Merit List | ~10 days after 1st list |
| 3rd Cut Off / Merit List | Early January |
| Spot Round Cut Off (Govt. Colleges) | Mid-to-late January |
| Private College Cut Off (1st/2nd/3rd) | February–March |
| Final Merit List & Waitlist Admission | Mid-to-late March |
| Note: Cut off admission runs in multiple rounds — 1st, 2nd, 3rd merit lists for government colleges, followed by a spot round, and then a separate private college cut off cycle if seats remain vacant. Candidates not allotted a seat in earlier rounds automatically remain in consideration for later rounds unless they opt out. | |
