WBCHSE HS 2026 Admit Card Date Revised: Check New Schedule and Download Process
WBCHSE Admit Card: The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has released a crucial notification regarding the upcoming Higher Secondary examinations. In a significant update aimed at students, teachers, and school administrators, the Council has revised the schedule and methodology for the distribution of Admit Cards for the 2026 exams. Originally slated for release today, January 21, the process has now been rescheduled.
It is vital for all candidates to understand the new dates and the specific modes of collection, as the procedure varies depending on whether the student is appearing under the old syllabus or the newly introduced semester system.
Revised Schedule for Admit Card Distribution
According to the Council’s initial Annual Working Plan, the Admit Cards were scheduled to be issued on January 21, 2026. However, superseding the previous notification, the Council has announced a delay of one week. The entire process will now commence on January 28, 2026. This adjustment allows schools and the Council to streamline the distribution process effectively.
Method of Collection: Who Gets It How?
The distribution mechanism has been segregated into two distinct categories based on the examination system. This separation ensures clarity and prevents administrative chaos at distribution centers.
1. For Old Syllabus Candidates (Offline Process)
Students appearing for the traditional Annual Higher Secondary Examination 2026 (Old Syllabus) will follow the conventional method.
- Protocol: Admit cards for this group will not be available for direct online download by students.
- Action Plan: Authorized representatives or Heads of Institutions (schools) must physically visit the designated Camp Offices set up by the Council. The hard copies of the Admit Cards will be handed over to the school authorities on January 28, 2026. Students must subsequently collect them from their respective schools.
2. For Semester 4 and Supplementary Semester 3 (Online Process)
Embracing digitization, the Council has simplified the process for students under the new curriculum structure. This applies to candidates sitting for the Semester 4 exams and those appearing for Semester 3 Supplementary exams.
- Protocol: Digital issuance.
- Action Plan: Admit cards for these candidates will be generated and hosted on the Council’s official online portal. From January 28, 2026, onwards, eligible candidates or schools can download the Admit Cards directly from the website.
Summary of Changes
To help students grasp the changes quickly, here is a breakdown of the new arrangement:
| Candidate Category | Effective Date | Source | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| HS 2026 (Old Syllabus) | January 28, 2026 | Camp Offices (via School) | Physical / Offline |
| Semester 4 & Supple Sem 3 | January 28, 2026 | Online Portal | Digital Download |
Advisory for Students:
Old syllabus candidates are advised to stay in touch with their school authorities regarding the specific time they should visit the school to collect their cards after the 28th. Meanwhile, semester system students should keep their registration details handy to access the portal smoothly on the launch date. This revised schedule aims to ensure a hassle-free experience for all stakeholders involved in the examination process.
