The overall pass percentage in 2023 was 86.15 per cent, with Devdutta Majhi emerging as the topper. Last year, the state saw a decline in the number of total registrations, which dropped from 10,98,775 in 2022 to 6,98,628 in 2023. The reason behind this, as per Ramanuj Ganguly, President of West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, was students’ hesitation after Covid pandemic.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee congratulated the successful candidates. “My best wishes and congratulations to all the students who passed the secondary examinations. My congratulations to your parents and teachers. May your coming days be prosperous, I pray,” she said on X.
