Understanding the WBCHSE Semester System for 2026
WBCHSE introduced a semester system for Class 12. Students now appear for two semesters across the academic year. The Semester III exams were held in September 2025 and the result was declared on October 31, 2025 with a 93.72% pass percentage (Science stream 98.80%, Arts 92.54%). The Semester IV exams were held in February 2026. The final Class 12 result — which combines performance from both semesters into an overall result — is the one being declared in May 2026. This is the result colleges and universities use for admissions, and the one that appears on the final marksheet issued to students.

WBCHSE HS Passing Marks 2026
To pass the West Bengal Class 12 examination, students must secure a minimum of 30% marks in each subject. For subjects with both theory and practical components, the 30% rule applies separately — students must pass both theory and practical independently. A good overall total does not override a component fail. Students who fail in one or two subjects are eligible for the WBCHSE Compartment Exam, expected in July 2026, and the compartment result is expected in August 2026.
PPS and PPR – WBCHSE Re-evaluation Process 2026
Students not satisfied with their marks have two options through WBCHSE’s official portal at wbchse.wb.gov.in:
- PPS (Post Publication Scrutiny): Re-calculation of marks and checking for any errors in totalling or un-evaluated answers. This is the first step and has a strict deadline after result declaration.
- PPR (Post Publication Review): Full re-examination of the answer sheet by a new examiner. Applied after PPS results are received. The Tatkal PPR/PPS window typically opens within days of the result; the regular window stays open for a few weeks.
Both services are available online through wbchse.wb.gov.in with a prescribed fee per subject. Missing the deadline means the option is forfeited for that exam cycle.
