Evaluation of answer sheets of the annual High School Certificate (HSC) Examination that concluded on Monday would begin on March 18.

The evaluation would be held at 61 centres across the State and total 15,000 teachers be engaged for the same, informed Board of Secondary Education (BSE) President Ramashis Hazra here.

Hazra said all necessary steps would be taken to ensure error-free and hassle-free evaluation of the answer sheets this year. The evaluation of answer sheets would continue longer than usual owing to changes in the examination pattern this year. Earlier, the entire evaluation process used to get completed within 12 to 13 days.

“As there were changes in the examination pattern, the evaluation process will continue for 20 days so that teachers get additional time to check,” said Hazra.

It is most unlikely that the results will be published in April first week.
