**Comment:**
It’s great to see the Bihar Board making the admission process more convenient with the OFSS portal. This will definitely help students and parents avoid long queues and paperwork. However, the deadline seems quite tight—just about a week for applications. Will there be any flexibility for late submissions in case of technical issues or other valid reasons? Also, do students need to upload any specific documents during registration, or will verification happen later? Overall, this is a positive step toward a smoother admission process.
