How to Download Bihar Board Books from bstbpc.bihar.gov.in
The official BSTBPC portal keeps every Bihar Board textbook free to read and save, and the steps are the same for every class. The process takes about a minute per chapter:
STEP 1: Open the BSTBPC home page, bstbpc.bihar.gov.in/Default.aspx.
STEP 2: In the top menu, point to Books and pick your class, from Class 1 to Class 12.
STEP 3: The class page shows the cover of every book for that class. Click the subject you want, for example Mathematics or Science.
STEP 4: The book page lists the preface and each chapter separately. Click a chapter name; it opens in a new pop-up window, so allow pop-ups for the site if nothing appears.
STEP 5: In the viewer, use the download or print button to save the chapter as a PDF on your phone or computer. Repeat for the other chapters you need.
The site serves books chapter by chapter, not as one full-book file, so keep the chapters in one folder named after the subject. To skip these steps, pick your class below; we have already linked every book.
