The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) released a new list of candidates eligible for interviews to fill teaching positions at the Class 11-12 level on Monday. This update occurred after modifications to the OBC reservation structure, an official clarified. The total number of vacancies remains the same at 12,445, as the reduction in OBC reservation from 17 percent to 7 percent led to changes in the distribution of vacancies by subject.
The commission explained that the previous two-tier categorization of OBC-A and OBC-B was eliminated, replacing it with a single OBC category. Candidates who have already taken interviews will not have to repeat the process. The WBSSC highlighted that the recruitment process, which faced legal issues in 2016, was again delayed due to reservation concerns.
The process was further complicated by the issue of reservation, with legal advice being sought to ensure transparency. Despite these challenges, the recruitment process is expected to continue, with appointments pending for many candidates.
