West Bengal Class 12 Board Exam 2024: The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has stopped elementary lessons on the days when the WB Class 12 board examinations 2024 are being held. The West Bengal HS Class 12 board examinations 2024 will be held on February 16–29.
“This is to notify that during the days of Higher Secondary Examination 2024, all activities including the classes of primary Section at all Integrated primary schools of West Bengal, situated in the same premises along with examination venues will remain suspended for the days of examination,” the board said in the latest circular.
“This notice is not applicable for the primary schools which are not situated within the same premises along with higher secondary examination venues,” it clarified.
The test venue supervisors have been asked to take the required procedures to notify pupils of the suspension of sessions.
This year, the West Bengal Board has also altered the Class 12 board test schedule. As a result, the board examinations will take place between 9:45 a.m. and 1 p.m., except for physical education, visual arts, music, and vocational courses, which will last two hours.
In this context, the tests for students who have not yet taken the Class 11 exams in the academic year 2023-24 will be held on the same day, from 2 to 5.15 p.m.
The board has also directed supervisors to take the required measures for CCTV monitoring at all examination locations' access gates as well as venue supervisors' chambers (confidential rooms).
The officers have also been asked to keep the CCTV video until March 28 and present it to the board when requested. The security procedures were implemented in response to the recent board exam paper leak reports and to prevent the use of unfair tactics.
