The West Bengal State Board (WBBSE for Secondary, WBCHSE for Higher Secondary) remains the board followed by a large share of Kolkata schools, and it is the only one of the five boards on Shikshaq taught primarily in Bengali medium in many schools, alongside an English-medium stream. Its syllabus and exam pattern differ from CBSE and ICSE in pacing and question style, and Bengali as a first language carries far more weight here than under other boards.
Yes, many tutors on this page teach in Bengali medium, matching how a large share of state board schools instruct. If your child studies in the English-medium state board stream instead, mention that when contacting a teacher.
WBBSE conducts the Class 10 Secondary examination and WBCHSE conducts the Class 12 Higher Secondary examination for the West Bengal State Board. Tutors on this page cover both stages.
Under the state board, Bengali is typically a first-language subject with full literature and grammar depth, while CBSE and ICSE usually offer it as a lighter second-language option. See the Bengali tuition page for tutors matched to either track.
