Why I’m Building a Free Study Platform for Bihar Board Students — And How You Can Help!

Hey everyone! I’m Deepak Kumar, a MERN Stack Developer and the creator of TheCampusCoders, and today I want to share something close to my heart.

For years, I’ve seen students from small towns like mine—Bihar—struggle to find organized, reliable study material for Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), especially for Class 12th. Whether it's past year papers, chapter-wise tests, proper notes, or even just motivation—resources are scattered, outdated, or behind a paywall.

That’s why I decided to do something about it.


🎯 The Idea: An Open Source BSEB Study Companion

I’m building a free, open-source platform where students can find:

  • 🔍 Previous Year Papers with clean, categorized solutions

  • 🧪 Chapter-wise and Subject-wise Tests

  • 📖 Notes that are actually helpful

  • 🎯 Quizzes and Practice Sets

  • 🙋‍♂️ User Dashboard to track progress

Everything will be open-source, transparent, and community-driven. — just pure value for learners.


💡 Why Open Source?

Because I want developers and educators like you to contribute, improve, and scale this together. If I learned one thing from working on tech and content side-by-side, it’s this: 👉 When a developer builds something for students, magic happens.

We know how to solve real problems, and this is mine.


🛠 Tech Stack

  • Framework: Next.js App Router

  • Deployment: Vercel

  • Styling: Tailwind CSS

  • Database: MongoDB

  • Auth, Tests, UI — All custom-built

I’m building this in public so anyone can learn and contribute. And yes—this will also be a great project for beginner contributors.


🚀 GitHub Repo is Live

🔗 https://github.com/deepakkumar55/bseb-study-campanion

You can check the code, star the repo, or fork it and help out.

Whether you’re a student who wants to share notes, or a dev who wants to fix bugs or improve performance—you’re welcome.


💭 Why This Matters to Me

I still remember how hard it was to study for board exams with broken books, half-working PDFs, and no guidance. This isn’t just another side project. It’s my way of giving back to students who are still figuring out how to make it—just like I once was.


🤝 How You Can Help

  • 📦 Developers – Contribute code, add features, fix bugs.

  • 📄 Teachers/Students – Upload notes, papers, MCQs.

  • 🧠 Designers – Help improve the UI/UX.

  • ❤️ Supporters – Share this with someone who needs it.


🌱 Let’s Build Something That Helps Others

This is just the beginning. I’m starting with Class 12th, but the vision is bigger. And with your support, we’ll make this one of the most useful free platforms for Bihar Board students.

If you’ve ever wanted to contribute to something that has real impact, this is your chance.
