About WBCHSE & the New Semester System
The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) governs higher secondary education across West Bengal. From the academic year 2025–26, WBCHSE introduced a semester-based examination system for Classes 11 and 12, replacing the traditional annual examination format. Under this restructured system, the two-year higher secondary curriculum is divided into four semesters. Semesters 1 and 2 cover Class 11 and are evaluated at the school level, while Semesters 3 and 4 cover Class 12 and are evaluated through official board examinations. The final HS result and certification are based on the cumulative performance in the Class 12 board exams, i.e., Semesters 3 and 4 combined.
Semester 3 vs Semester 4 – What is the Difference?
The two Class 12 board examinations differ significantly in their format. The Semester 3 examination, held in September, consists entirely of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) designed to test a student's analytical and reasoning abilities. The Semester 4 examination, held in February, includes Short Answer Questions (SAQs) and Descriptive Questions (DQs) to assess conceptual understanding and writing skills. Together, the marks from both semesters are combined to produce the final Higher Secondary result.
