KOLKATA: The West Bengal Council of Higher Education on Wednesday has instructed headmasters to submit their requests for reviews by July 30.
On Tuesday, council president Mohua Das met education minister Bratya Basu to update him about steps being taken to review the marks of over 20,000 students who were failed in HS this year. Council sources said it has been decided that all the failed students will be awarded pass marks.
“We have to write to the council that due to the pandemic the people trained to handle the school’s IT system could not come to school and there were some errors in sending the marks to the council. For the sake of the students’ future the council must make an exception and allow the school to make the necessary rectifications after which the council will review the result,” said the president of an association of headmasters.
The council also announced on Wednesday its decision would be final and if anybody still had a problem they could take an exam later.
