This semester, the exams will follow a multiple-choice format, with responses marked on Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets. To prevent damage during transit, the Council will supply non-transparent poly pouches with peel-off self-adhesive strips to every examination venue.

"OMRs must be returned with utmost care. Even slight damage can make them unreadable. We're providing four separate pouches for OMR returns to avoid any risk of water damage," said WBCHSE president Chiranjib Bhattacharya.
