Odisha Board of Secondary Education, CHSE Odisha

Firstly, Odisha Government has introduced ‘Board of Secondary Education, Odisha’ to regulate, develop and supervise education level in the State. But after few years Kerala needed a separate board for higher secondary education. Then ‘The Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha’ came into existence which is responsible for developing education at higher secondary level. Both the boards have similar objectives such as conduct examinations, declare results and to provide information regarding secondary and higher secondary education in the State.
