The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) said that it will go by the advice of the higher education department while deciding on introducing a semester-based curriculum for classes 11 and 12 in the state board in future.
Whether next year’s Higher Secondary examination will be held offline or not will also depend on the instruction of the government and the Covid-19 situation at that time, the newly-appointed WBCHSE president Dr. Chiranjib Bhattacharya said.
“The Council will go by what the higher education department recommends, what the minister advises. Things cannot be solely devised by us as there are many factors at stake,” Bhattacharya said, indicating that the WBCHSE will not undertake any reform on its own either in 2022 or 2023.

Bhattacharya said, “Things will be clearer later, depending on the (Covid-19) situation.” The state government appointed Bhattacharya, pro-vice chancellor of Jadavpur University as WBCHSE chief. The development took place following protests across the state in July by students who failed in the higher secondary examination.
