WBCHSE President said the council increased the number of seats in HSS to 400
According to WBCHSE President, Chiranjib Bhattacharya, the cut-off percentage mark was raised to 45 percent in 2021 because the Class 10 board exams couldn’t be held due to COVID-19, and practically everyone was expected to meet the norms due to high marks last year.
“This year, it’s been reduced to 35%,” he explained. In a separate decision, the council increased the maximum number of seats in each higher secondary school from 275 to 400.
