The committee will recommend whether state board exams for secondary and higher secondary classes should be conducted or not.  

The government is also inviting suggestions for West Bengal Board class 10 and class 12 exams from students and parents.

CM Mamta Banerjee said through the series of tweets, “Our children's future is my greatest priority. To this regard, we have formed an expert committee to decide over holding the Class 10th & 12th board exams in 2021.”
