WBCHSE Exam Pattern 2025 (New): West Bengal Higher Secondary Goes Semester-Based: Big Changes for Class 11 and 12 Students!
Attention West Bengal students! Get ready for a major shift in your Higher Secondary (HS) education. The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has implemented a brand new semester system, starting with the upcoming academic year (2024-25).
Higher Secondary (HS) Examination New Pattern 2025 (WBCHSE):
- Semester System: This is the biggest change. Your studies will be divided into two semesters (periods) each year, with separate exams at the end of each. This means you’ll take exams twice in Class 11 and twice in Class 12.
- Start Date: The new academic session, including semester 1, will begin in May 2024 (exact date to be confirmed by WBCHSE).
Exam Pattern:
- Semester 1 & 3 (Class 11 & 12): These exams will focus on objective-type questions like multiple choice and short answers.
- Semester 2 & 4 (Class 11 & 12): Expect more in-depth testing with elaborate and explanatory questions.
Marks Distribution:
- Theory Exams: Non-practical subjects will have exams worth 40 marks, while practical subjects will have exams worth 35 marks.
- Practicals & Projects: The familiar practical tests (30 marks) and projects (20 marks) will continue, but they’ll also be conducted in two semesters.
- Final Marks: Your overall marks will be based on the combined performance in semesters 3 and 4 (your Class 12 exams).
Staying Informed:
- WBCHSE Website: Visit the official website https://wbchse.wb.gov.in/ for the latest updates and detailed information about the semester system.
- Mark Distribution & Syllabus: The WBCHSE has already released the mark distribution and subject-wise syllabus for this new system. You can find them on the website or through official notifications.
