# WBCHSE uses India Post for OMR collection, revises HS exam schedule 2026-09-19T19:48:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) will use India Post to collect and transport used OMR answer sheets after each Higher Secondary Semester III examination, replacing the earlier railway parcel service. Millenniumpost.in reports that examination centres faced difficulties booking parcels at railway stations, often incurring extra costs. Under the new system, each block has at least one designated post office where centre officials can deposit sealed OMR packets. The Semester III exams run from September 21 to October 14, with 7,18,620 candidates across 825 centres and 2,105 venues. Timesnownews.com reports the schedule was revised due to by-elections in Nandigram and Rejinagar on October 6 and the Vishwakarma Puja holiday. The Times of India adds that a female student was caught with a mobile phone on the first day and barred from exams. All centres have metal detectors and CCTV surveillance. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources report the examination schedule and security measures in a straightforward, factual manner with no discernible slant. Millenniumpost.in provides the most detail on the logistical shift to India Post, including the reasons for the change. The Times of India leads with the mobile phone incident on the first day, adding a human-interest angle but not altering the neutral tone. The uniform coverage suggests no political or editorial framing of this education story. The key operational tests are the smooth collection of OMR sheets under the new postal system and adherence to the revised schedule through October 14. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in (neutral report) Leads with procedural change, no political slant - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straight schedule announcement with no commentary - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with exam start and one violation, factual tone Tags: Higher Secondary Exam, India Post, WBCHSE, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/wbchse-uses-india-post-for-exam-omr-sheets-revises-semester-schedule/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
