Several students of class 12 could not sit for examinations of certain subjects in the Asansol- Raniganj areas of West Burdwan district of the state as communal riots broke out there over Ram Navami processions.

Both the WBBSE and the WBCHSE imposed certain restrictions this year to avert question papers leak and mass cheating. All sealed packets of question papers contained microchips that could send signals to their respective central server room if the sealed packets were opened before five minutes from the commencement of examinations.

Examinees were also barred from entering the examination halls with mobile phones, digital watches and calculators.
