Subscribe NowAfter a prolonged delay, the West Bengal Board of Primary Education has announced the results for the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET 2023) for Classes 1 to 5. Out of 2.73 lakh candidates who appeared for the West Bengal TET exam, only 6,754 have qualified – just 2.47%.
The WBBPE conducted the exam on December 24 for a total of 3,09,054 (3 lakh) candidates to recruit 13,421 teachers for Classes 1 to 5. However, the post-exam events were deferred due to a legal bottleneck caused by the OBC reservation policy.
According to the WB TET toppers list 2025, a total of 64 candidates have been placed in the top 10 ranks. With 125 marks, Ina Singha obtained rank 1 in the West Bengal TET 2023 and Kajal Kuti secured rank 2.
The board earlier posted the WB TET final answer key for all question codes – WBBPE/A1-23, B2-23, C3-23, D4-23 and E5-23 — on its official website, wbbpe.wb.gov.in.
West Bengal Board president Goutam Pal told the PTI that the expert committee examined all disputes pertaining to respective questions exhaustively, which were raised by the candidates, and the results were declared after posting the final answer keys on its website (model answers).
