The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has released the final answer keys for the Higher Secondary (HS) Semester 3 Examination 2027, according to reports by Telegraph India and The Indian Express.
Students who sat for the Class 12 exams can download the subject-wise PDFs from the official council website at wbchse.wb.gov.in.
The final answer key indicates that one question each from English, Chemistry and Biology had no correct answer options. The council published these keys after reviewing objections submitted by students regarding the provisional versions.
Students were permitted to challenge the provisional answers between October 27 and November 2, 2026, after an initial deadline of October 30 was extended. The Indian Express reported that candidates had to pay Rs 200 per question to raise an objection.
The Semester 3 examinations were conducted between September 21 and October 16, 2026. To pass, students must clear five subjects, consisting of two language papers and three electives, while securing at least 30 per cent marks separately in theory and practical exams where applicable.
The council is expected to announce a date for the results next. According to The Indian Express, the Semester 3 results were scheduled for publication by the second week of November 2026.
