With the coronavirus tally having dipped of late, students will be writing their papers offline this time. As the National Testing Agency has decided to hold (Main) between April 16 and 21, the council revised its dates for chemistry, statistics, economics among other papers to enable the students appear for the entrance exam as well, the WBCHSE president said. All exams will be held in home centres, Bhattacharya added.
