Ramanuj Ganguly, President of West Bengal Board of Secondary Education said, “The number of candidates, however, has seen a sharp drop from 10,98,775 in the previous year.”

Asked about the reason behind the decline, he said due to the Covid pandemic in the past two years, many students backed out as the classes were held online and their preparations for the exam were inadequate.

Ganguly said 2,867 exam centres will be under CCTV surveillance along with deployment of police personnel.
