Kolkata: The West Bengal Board of Madrasah Education (WBBME) on Wednesday announced the results of the Fazil Semester-III Examination, 2025, recording an overall pass percentage of 93.38.
The examination, based on Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and conducted through OMR sheets, was held from September 15 to October 11 across 38 centres. Of the 5,894 candidates who appeared, 5,504 passed—3,123 male (96.06 per cent) and 2,381 female (90.09 per cent). Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar achieved 100 per cent pass rates, followed by Hooghly and Bankura.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee congratulated all successful candidates in a message on X, extending her greetings to students, parents, and teachers. She lauded the Board for conducting the semester-based examination smoothly, noting that “for the first time in the country, the Fazil examination was held under the semester system”. She also encouraged those who did not perform well this time to “strive for better results in the upcoming fourth semester”.
A total of 17 students featured in the Semester-III top ten list. Kamran of Hossain Nagar Darul Olum Senior Madrasah, Murshidabad, secured the first position with 224 out of 240 marks.
