Kolkata, 22 April (H.S.) : The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) on Wednesday announced that the results of this year’s Higher Secondary examinations will be declared on May 14, after the results of the state Assembly elections are announced on May 4.

WBCHSE President Partha Karmakar said the results would be officially released at 10:30 a.m. during a press conference at the Council’s office in Bidhannagar.
