Till date WBBSE has limited its scope to issue quality education and providing a hasslefree Board examination for the 1st ever career leap by students. But now, in keeping with the fast moving life of modern time the WBBSE envisions to upgrade its old website so as to serve every information ready on platter and services as prompt as online delivery.
I am delighted to announce the launch of newly designed website of WBBSE. WBBSE has developed and designed a dynamic website by dint of which all its services that has a public interface can be provided online, facilitating speedy work and minimizing manual delay/error. In future this may be linked with all schools’ website under the Board on one hand and the School Education Department’s portal on the other for providing better services to all concerned.
Our goal is to provide our visitors an easier way to learn about WBBSE services and solutions and also to allow the visitor to browse information based on their own need and choice. The new website is interactive and gives better access to About Us, Vision & Mission, WBBSE Sections, Syllabus & Curriculum, Model Questions, WBBSE Publications, Locate your School, Circulars & Memos, Notification & Announcements, Appointment Cell & WBBSE Services.
We will be constantly updating the content of our website with helpful information, latest announcements and Notifications, achievements, academic and administrative calendar of WBBSE in the Home Page Section.
Different online applications viz. Online Registration & Enrolment of students, Online submission of Teachers’ Informations by schools, Online PPS & PPR of Answerscripts of Madhyamik Examination, online submission of RTI applications, Online application for Record Correction, Record Verification, issuing Duplicate Records, Migration Certificate and Transcript, Online application for Recognition of schools and General section will be taken up in the next phases of the project.
I hope all will find the new website user friendly with a crisp look and easy-to-access module. I also wish to establish this portal as a comprehensive source of information for those who visit our site.
I would also like to thank few of our respected senior teachers, our amazing staff at WBBSE & NIC who donated their valuable time and energy to make this site what it is.
Striving towards betterment we always look forward to our revered teachers and beloved students for their priceless suggestions, feedbacks and critical evaluation on /of our endeavour. Please feel free to email us.

I am privileged to welcome you to our new dynamic web portal through which we hope to reach all our students (present and ex), our affiliated schools and all institutions/individuals associated with us, in a much better way. This initiative to overhaul our static website to a dynamic web portal is aimed at enabling a two way communication between the Board and its stakeholders. Our aim is to upgrade our services from offline to online so as to make service providing smarter, faster and easier in keeping with technological revolution of the time. Till date any application, be it for PPS/PPR/RTI or for Record Correction / Verification /Duplicate or for the Registration and Enrolment of students for Board examination, was taken manually. Applicant had to come to the offices of WBBSE either personally or through school, deposit requisite fees and wait for the service. But hereafter anyone can have the liberty to apply online for the services enlisted here in the portal in addition to the existing procedure followed now. Deposition of fees shall be online and services, barring few, shall mostly be online. In the initial stage of launch there may be some technical snags and restrictions. But we assure to unfold greater periphery of services and make all affairs absolutely paper free and hassle free in coming days. We look forward to the cooperation and good wishes of all our stakeholders.
I would like to thank the officials of NIC and make special mention of my team members at the Administration Section of this Board who have indeed worked hard for upgrading our old website to this brand new shape of a portal. I convey my heartiest regards to all the teachers associated with us and lots of love and good wishes to our students.

This is surely great news for the Student Community as well as the Teacher Community attached to West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, that we are going to upgrade our website in order to serve them better. The Examination Section, WBBSE, will provide various facilities to relieve the students. presents and school authorities from attending Board's office and waiting in long queues for submission of forms and fees.
In this era of advance technology the system seems a bit slow and time-consuming and sometimes inconvenient too. That is why, Examination Section, WBBSE is going to introduce phase by phase online submission of Registration Form, Enrolment Forms, PPR/PPS Application Forms etc.
Notification regarding examination and allied matters will be uploaded in the Board’s website from time to time that the schools usually receive through camp offices arranged in different schools.
Camp offices arranged under Examination Section, throughout the year, for different purpose, could be reduced, gradually, in number and thus, things will be more convenient due to introduction of such a dynamic website.
In this way we can lessen the paper works, which, we know is considered as eco friendly, by way of saving trees to reduce global warming.
Upgradation of our website will relieve students and guardians from attending Board’s Office(s) from different corners of West Bengal.
Once schools wills register their names to this system, as narrated above, all the facilities will be available to them.
Examination Section and WBBSE, as a whole, are eager for betterment of service.
