is additional subject and optional elective subject same in West Bengal HS board ??
Dear Pritam ,
Look, The actual meaning of Additional and Optional is more or less same . But the little difference is ,
- In Optional Subject, you must choose one subject from the given available subjects as per your stream i.e Science , Arts or Commerce
- In Additional Subject , you need to choose an extra subject apart from your regular curriculum .
Generally , in Madhyamik Exam, conducted by WBBSE .. This '' Additional" term is used as in that case , you may or may not choose your additional subject . It will not effect your total score in Madhyamik.
But , in HS .. The best of 5 Policy is accepted . So in that case , you need to choose One optional Elective paper from the given subject list as per your stream as said earlier above.
Some more information about HS Exam :
