WB 12th Board Exams 2021 likely to be postponed; Madhyamik Exams to be held on time

WB Board Exams 2021 for Class 10th is likely to be held on time whereas the Class 12th may be postponed, officials from the West Bengal Education Department said.

WB Board Exams 2021: West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) that conducts the Higher Secondary or Class 12 exam is likely to postpone the WBCHSE Board Exam 2021 even though deliberations are on to hold the  West Bengal Madhyamik Exam 2021 on time, top officials have said.

While the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) conducts the WBBSE Madhyamik examination in February, the WBCHSE 12th exams are held in March. 

“Discussions have started on how to hold the two exams in 2021 as only a few months are left. One suggestion which has come up is to hold the class 10 exams on time while postponing the class 12 exams by a few months,” said a senior official of the state education department. Discussions are on to hold the class 10 board exams with a truncated syllabus. But as admissions to class 11 are yet to be held, the full syllabus could be covered at the higher secondary level and the exams could be postponed. The class 12 exams could be held in June instead of March.
