The West Bengal Board of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has officially released the WBCHSE Admit Card 2026 for students who will be appearing in the upcoming Higher Secondary examinations under the old syllabus framework. This significant announcement pertains specifically to Class 12 candidates who are enrolled for the Semester IV Examination, as well as those registered for the Supplementary Examination of Semester III.
Distribution Through Schools, Not Direct Download
According to the detailed official notification issued by the board, all examination-related materials, including the crucial admit cards, were systematically distributed to authorized schools across the state on January 28, 2026. In a clear procedural directive, students are required to collect their physical hall tickets directly from their respective educational institutions before appearing for the examinations. The board has explicitly clarified that the admit cards are not meant for direct student download from any online portal.
Online Access Limited to School Authorities
WBCHSE has made the admit cards available online exclusively for school authorities through the official council portal at wbchse.wb.gov.in. This strategic move ensures controlled distribution. School principals or authorized administrators bear the responsibility of downloading, printing, and subsequently distributing the hall tickets to all eligible students under their purview. The admit cards issued under this phase are applicable exclusively to candidates registered under the old syllabus, which includes students appearing for the Semester IV Higher Secondary Examination and those taking the Supplementary Examination of Semester III.
Revised Timeline Aligns with Logistical Distribution
The board has stated that the release of the admit cards was carefully timed to coincide with the comprehensive distribution of examination materials to schools and designated examination centres. These materials were handed over through special camps organized by the council for authorized institutions. Consequently, WBCHSE revised and confirmed the admit card issuance timeline to align seamlessly with this logistical distribution process. The council opened the online access portal specifically so that schools could download the hall tickets following the completion of the physical material distribution. Students are strongly encouraged to proactively contact their schools after the local issuance of the admit cards in their area to ensure timely collection.
Step-by-Step Procedure for School Authorities
The school authorities must follow a defined procedure to access and distribute the admit cards. They need to visit the official WBCHSE website and navigate to the dedicated login section to access the WBCHSE Admit Card 2026 portal. After selecting the School or Council Admin option, the administrators are required to input their uniquely assigned username and password credentials. Upon successful login, the admit cards for Class 12 students will be displayed on the screen, ready to be downloaded and printed. Schools hold the critical responsibility of verifying the details on these hall tickets and ensuring their timely provision to students after printing, thereby enabling examinees to be fully prepared for their examinations.
Essential Instructions for Students
Students must obtain the original printed admit card from their respective schools and meticulously check all personal and examination details provided on the document. The hall ticket serves as an essential mandatory document for gaining entry into the examination centre, and candidates are expected to bring it along on all examination days without fail. WBCHSE has strongly recommended that students report any discrepancies or mismatches in their admit cards to school authorities as soon as they are identified. This allows for necessary corrections to be made well in time before the commencement of the examinations, preventing any last-minute complications or access issues.
This structured approach by the West Bengal Board ensures a smooth and organized pre-examination process for thousands of Higher Secondary students across the state, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the board examination system.
