While the change in Class 11 exams will be brought in from the upcoming academic session, a similar change will be brought in for Class 12 exams from the 2025-26 academic session.
The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) today introduced semester system for Class 11 from the 2024-25 academic session.
While the change in Class 11 exams will be brought in from the upcoming academic session, a similar change will be brought in for Class 12 exams from the 2025-26 academic session.
“The School Education Department, Govt. of WB has given us the permission vide memo no. 340-SED-‘11099/312/2023 dated 06.03.2024 to introduce the Semester System at the Higher Secondary Level from the Academic Session 2024-25 for Class XI and, subsequently from the Academic Session 2025-26 for Class XII,” the official notice stated.
