West Bengal Postpones Higher Secondary Exams by One Week Due to October 6 Bypolls
The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education has postponed the third-semester higher secondary exams by one week due to bypolls in the Nandigram and Rejinaqar assembly constituencies on October 6. Exams originally scheduled for October 5, 6, and 7 will now take place on October 12, 13, and 14, respectively, with subjects including mathematics, cybersecurity, biological science, and political science. The rescheduling aims to avoid clashes with the bypoll dates.
