A special feature of this year’s examination was that for the first time examinations were also conducted in Santhali (Ol Chiki) script. A total of 832 students took the examinations in Ol Chiki script.

The overall pass percentage in Madhyamik 2017 was 82.98%. The pass percentage of boys was 86.34% and 79.62% for girls.

Even in the class 12 board exams or the Uccha Madhyamik examination, the number of girls was more than the boys.

The total number of examinees this time was 8,26,029 as against 7,73,029 in 2017.

The number of boys who appeared for the Madhyamik 2018 was 3,55,481 or 44%.

Several students of class 12 could not sit for examinations of certain subjects in the Asansol- Raniganj areas of West Burdwan district of the state as communal riots broke out there over Ram Navami processions.

The overall pass percentage in Uccha Madhyamik 2017 was 80.04%. In case of boys the pass percentage was 79% and 80% for girls.

Both the WBBSE and the WBCHSE imposed certain restrictions this year to avert question papers leak and mass cheating.

All sealed packets of question papers contained microchips that could send signals to their respective central server room if the sealed packets were opened before five minutes from the commencement of examinations.

Examinees were also barred from entering the examination halls with mobile phones, digital watches and calculators.
