The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has decided to award full marks for three questions in the Class 12 Mathematics exam that were not included in the official syllabus. This decision affects a total of 10 marks.

The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has announced that students will receive full marks for three questions in the Class 12 Mathematics exam that were deemed to be outside the prescribed syllabus. This decision means that a total of 10 marks will be awarded for these questions, which could impact students' overall performance in the examination.

Details of the Decision

The council's move comes after concerns were raised regarding the inclusion of questions that did not align with the official syllabus provided to students. By awarding full marks for these out-of-syllabus questions, the WBCHSE aims to ensure fairness in the evaluation process for students who may have prepared based on the syllabus provided.

According to a report by NDTV Latest, this decision reflects the council's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process while addressing the concerns of students and educators alike. The council has not specified how this decision will be communicated to schools or how it will affect grading in other subjects.
