Kolkata, Aug 2 (TIWN) In a bizarre development, the West Bengal Council for Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has allowed all the students who had failed to qualify in the Higher Secondary (Class 12) examination.

As no examination was held this year owing to the Covid situation, the council had announced the results based on an evaluation system in which 18,000 students had failed. 

"Our government is humanitarian. So all the candidates who had enrolled for the Higher Secondary examination have been awarded pass marks considering the Covid situation," said Mahua Das, President, WBCHSE.
