Class 12 Board Exams in West Bengal to be conducted from home centres

The Class 12 board exams in West Bengal will be conducted from their respective schools, rather than a board-allotted centre, said the council.

The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has recently issued the statement that the upcoming Class 12 board exams in the state will be conducted from the students’ respective schools, not a board-appointed exam centre. The decision to conduct the exams from the home centre of students has been taken this year due to the sudden rise of Covid-19 cases across West Bengal. Each year, the students appear at other schools to give their board examinations, as per the usual norm. The Class 12 board exams for West Bengal students are scheduled to be conducted in June this year. "The higher secondary examinations for 2021 will be held in the respective educational institute of a candidate from 12 noon to 3.15 pm," Das added, as per PTI reports.
