The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has announced the results of the Class 9 to 10 recruitment exam for assistant teachers in government and government-aided schools. The commission will fill 23,212 vacancies through the State-level Selection Test (SLST). Candidates who appeared in the SLST exam held on September 7 can check their WBSSC result 2025 on the official website, westbengalssc.com.
The West Bengal education minister Bratya Basu said on X: “The West Bengal Central School Service Commission today published the results of the written examination for the recruitment of teachers for classes IX-X, which was held on 7th September.
“The Commission deserves congratulations for publishing the results on time under the direction of the Honorable Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and with the cooperation of the state and district administrations. An appeal to the jobless candidates—everything will be done following transparency and rules, have faith. Stay well,” he wrote on X.
The verification process of the shortlisted candidates will begin after the Class 11-12 recruitment verification is completed, a senior WBSSC official told PTI.
While the exact number or percentage of successful candidates deemed "untainted" in the 2016 SSC test could not be specified, most such teachers who lost jobs following the April 3 Supreme Court order and opted for fresh tests now feature among the successful candidates, he said.
He added that the list of interviewees are expected to be published in the first week of December.
The official said 2,93,192 candidates had appeared for the exam, which covered 11 subjects. The number of vacancies may rise once the revised list is published prior to the interview and document verification stages.
Candidates will be able to download the WBSSC SLST results for Class 9-10 teacher recruitment using their roll number and date of birth. Earlier, the WBSSC uploaded a list for candidates for 12,445 vacancies in Classes 11 and 12, the written for which was held on September 14.
Altogether 35,657 vacancies for assistant teacher posts in Classes 9-10 and 11-12 are being filled in the second state-level selection test.
On April 3, the Supreme Court invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teaching and non-teaching staff calling the entire recruitment process "vitiated and tainted." Consequently, the state began conducting a new recruitment process to fill up the vacancies.
