West Bengal Higher Secondary Education Council (WBCHSE) has released the 12th class result on Wednesday, but this year’s result is in discussion for a special reason. In fact, this time the number of regular students has been recorded in the 12th board examination. This decline is the result of not only data but a special policy change.
Only 4.73 lakh students took exams in 2025
According to WBCHSE, a total of 4,73,919 regular students appeared in the examination this year, compared to 7,55,324 last year. That is, a shortage of 2,81,405 students has been seen. Council President Chiranjeeb Bhattacharya said that this decline is due to a change in the age related policy in 2017.

Why the number of students decreased?
Bhattacharya said that in the year 2017, the minimum age for admission in class 5 was fixed at 10 years. Many students of that year could not meet this age criteria and were stopped. Even when this batch reached the 10th examination in 2023, many students could not move forward due to age compulsion. For this reason, a large number of students could not appear in the examination even in 12th.
The WBCSE president clarified that the number of students in the secondary examination of 2023 declined and the impact of that is now shown in the higher secondary examination of 2025.
