The state Higher Secondary (HS) council will start the process of evaluation of answer scripts of the school-leaving examinations from May 4, an official of the council said.

The scripts of the tests that were held before the lockdown kicked in are at various police stations, railway stations and treasury offices.

The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education will start relocating the scripts to its regional offices from May 4 and hand them over to head examiners by June 10.

The head examiners will distribute them to examiners from their homes in small batches. Each batch will consist of not more than five examiners.
