Is it compulsory to have Bengali if I already have English as one of my subjects in

I am searching for that is it compulsory to have Bengali if I already have English as one of my subjects in ISC?*Also tell me about its subject’s combination for different streams?

[Arun Vats]

According to me No it is not compulsory to have Bengali is you have English. But, if you have planned to build your career in West Bengal then I would suggest you to take Bengali as your third language.

This is because in West Bengal as many state govts jobs do ask for Bengali knowledge certificate.

Here I am providing you the subjects arrangement in ISC is such that English is compulsory for any stream. There will be two papers in English - Paper 1 (Language) Paper II Literature.
