WBCHSE

Students must go through the points below to avoid the WBCHSE board exam-day hassles:

• All communication devices like mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, headphones, pagers, fitness bands, cameras, etc., are barred from carrying to the examination hall.
• Accessories like wallets, goggles, handbags, and purses are not to be carried.
• Students must not forget to carry all the stationary items that are required to appear for the WB HS 12th board exams as sharing of stationary is not allowed
• However, do not forget to carry your WB HS Hall ticket on all exam days
• Students without the admit crad will not be allowed to write their WBCHSE board exams

The number of students appearing for WB Class 12 exams ranges between 7.5 and 8.2 lakh. 

In 2024, a total of 7,55,324 students had appeared for the exams.

The WB HS exam timings are from 9:50 am to 12 pm. The duration of the exam is 2 hours, and students get 10 minutes extra to read question paper. 

The exam pattern mentions the marking scheme, types of questions asked in the exams, chapter-wise distribution of marks and more. Students must know the exam pattern well as this will help them score better marks.

Marking done by WBCHSE is fair and lenient. After the evaluators are done with the checking, the answer sheet goes for another round of random checking by the supervisor, to ensure it's fairness. 

Thus, students must not worry about the strict/lenient checking by the evaluators and focus on completing their syllabus and ensuring that their preparataion strategy is on point so that they do not have to worry about the checking.

The duration of the WB 12th exams is 3 hours. The timings of the examination are between 9:45 am and 1 pm.
