New Exam System Explained

“We scanned over 38 lakh OMR sheets for these results,” revealed a board official. “Despite festival holidays, we managed to declare results before October 31.”
Girl Power in Numbers
Girls formed 56.03% of total candidates (about 3.7 lakh students). Their strong participation continues Bengal’s trend of closing the gender gap in education.
Previous Year Comparison
