WBSSC Posts IX–X Interview List as Calcutta HC Allows Limited 2016 Wait-List Candidates Into Fresh Interviews

Overview

• The preliminary list names roughly 40,000 candidates for 23,212 assistant teacher posts in classes IX–X, with document verification to follow.
• Shortlisting drew on experience, September’s written-test scores, and academic qualifications, with the list uploaded to the WBSSC portal on Friday evening.
• Justice Amrita Sinha directed that only 2016 waiting-list candidates disqualified solely on age grounds and who have petitioned the court may be interviewed.
• The High Court asked the Commission to submit candidates’ marks in sealed envelopes and sought its view on video-recording the interviews.
• The WBSSC has asked the Supreme Court for more time beyond the December 31 deadline, as XI–XII interviews near completion and IX–X is expected to take several months.
