Overview
- WBCHSE is conducting Class 12 examinations from February 12 to 27 across roughly 2,100 centres for 7,10,811 candidates, spanning Semester IV, Semester III supplementary and the old annual system.
- Authorities installed CCTV cameras at entrance gates and designated over 100 venues as sensitive for added oversight, while recruiting about 7,000 invigilators from primary and secondary schools due to SIR electoral-roll duties.
- Day one concluded with attendance above 99 percent and no reports of question-paper shortages, accidents or other untoward incidents, with many students finding the first paper manageable.
- One Semester IV candidate was debarred at a Monteswar centre in East Burdwan after being caught with a mobile phone, resulting in cancellation of their Semester IV enrolment and a bar from remaining papers.
- On day two, no unfair-means cases were detected as 23 candidates sat the second-language paper from hospitals, and Kolkata Police restricted goods vehicles from 6 am to noon to ease access to centres.
