The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has announced the minimum pass marks required for the Higher Secondary (Uccha Madhyamik) examination in 2026. Students appearing for the Class 12 board exams in West Bengal must secure at least 30% marks in each subject to pass. This includes both theory and practical components, where applicable.
Pass Criteria for WBCHSE HS 2026
To qualify for the WBCHSE HS certificate, candidates need to obtain a minimum of 30% marks in each subject individually. For subjects with practical exams, the total marks are calculated by combining theory and practical scores. The overall pass percentage is not the sole criterion; subject-wise passing is mandatory.
Important Points
- Minimum marks per subject: 30% of total marks in that subject.
- Compartment examination: Students failing in up to two subjects can appear for compartment exams.
- Grace marks: Up to 5 grace marks may be awarded to students who narrowly miss the pass mark.
WBCHSE HS Examination Pattern 2026
The WBCHSE HS exam will be conducted in the months of March-April 2026. The council releases the detailed timetable well in advance. Students are advised to focus on each subject equally to ensure they meet the minimum pass marks requirement.
