WBCHSE HS Semester III Final Answer Key 2027

The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has released the final subject-wise answer key for Semester III of the Higher Secondary Examination 2027. The 56-page PDF is dated 6 November 2026 and is intended for Class 12 students who appeared in the MCQ-based examination.

The examination was conducted on OMR sheets between 21 September and 14 October 2026, with 7,18,467 students reported to have appeared. WBCHSE prepared the final key after reviewing challenges to its provisional answers; it covers more than 70 language, academic and vocational subjects and includes decisions accepting multiple options or, in some cases, no correct option.

Important Dates

The final key is organised by subject and aligns question numbers across paper sets A, B, C and D. Each row identifies the subject serial number and subject code, gives the corresponding question numbers for the four sets, and shows the accepted answer in the Key column. For example, the Bengali A (BNGA) entry for question 1 in Set A corresponds to question 36 in Set B, question 11 in Set C and question 16 in Set D; the listed answer is A.

The number of questions depends on the subject group. Many language, Arts and Commerce papers have 40 questions; Science and several other subjects have 35; Music and Visual Arts have 20; and vocational papers have 25. The listed subject examples include Bengali, English, Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Santali, Economics, History, Political Science, Mathematics, Accountancy, Business Studies, Philosophy, Sociology, Physics, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Statistics, Geography, Psychology, Nutrition, Computer Science, Computer Application, Data Science and Agronomy. Vocational examples include Automobile, IT/ITeS, Healthcare, Electronics, Retail, Tourism, Plumbing, Power and Telecom.

Following the challenge review, WBCHSE made special decisions on more than 40 questions across subjects. Some entries say “No correct option,” including English A question 26, Chemistry question 29 and Biological Sciences question 26. Other questions accept all four options; examples include Accountancy questions 15, 33, 35 and 36, and Sociology questions 18, 21 and 27. Some accept two options, such as English A question 22 (A or C), Physics question 25 (B or C) and question 35 (A or C), Mathematics question 24 (B or D), Economics question 40 (A or C), and Environmental Studies question 2 (B or C). These example question numbers refer to Set A; students using other sets should match their question number through the relevant set column.

How to Apply

This is an examination answer-key release, so there is no application process. Students can access and use the PDF through the following steps:

1. Visit the official WBCHSE website at wbchse.wb.gov.in.
2. Open the Notice or Latest Updates section and select “Final Subject-wise answer-key of Semester-III of Higher Secondary Examination 2027.”
3. Alternatively, use the direct answer key PDF link.
4. When the 56-page PDF opens, search for your subject code using Ctrl + F. Examples include PHYS, MATH, BNGA and ENGB.
5. Find your question number in the column for your paper set—A, B, C or D—and read the accepted answer from the Key column in that row.
6. Download and save the PDF for reference when checking your OMR responses.

To estimate your Semester III MCQ score, use your recorded answers and the correct paper-set column to compare each response with the final key. Count answers that match, including any option accepted where more than one answer is listed, and multiply the correct-answer count by the mark value for each question under the WBCHSE semester scheme. For instance, a Physics paper has 35 questions; if 30 of a student’s responses are correct, the estimated MCQ score is 30 multiplied by the applicable marks per question. The key does not specify how marks will be awarded for questions marked “No correct option,” so students should rely on any further official council notice for that point.

The final Higher Secondary result is to combine Semester III MCQ marks with Semester IV descriptive-examination marks, as well as practical or project marks where applicable. Semester III is conducted as an MCQ examination on OMR sheets, while Semester IV uses short- and long-answer descriptive questions; both are council-level examinations. The Semester III result was reported as expected by the end of November or in the first week of December 2026. Students can check WBCHSE or result.wb.gov.in using their roll number and registration number when results are announced. Semester IV examinations were expected in early 2027. The final answer key follows the challenge process, and the source says no further answer-key challenges will be accepted; students should watch for WBCHSE notices about any post-result review process.

Students who appeared for Semester III can use the official final key to check their responses, taking care to match both their subject code and paper set. Consult WBCHSE’s official notices for any clarification about the treatment of questions with no correct option and for result updates.
