WBSSC Revises Class 11-12 Teacher Interview List After OBC Reservation Changes
The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) released a revised interview eligibility list for Class 11-12 teacher recruitment after reducing the OBC reservation quota from 17% to 7%. Despite changes in subject-wise vacancy distribution, the total vacancies remain at 12,445. The previous two-tier OBC categorization was replaced by a single category following legal developments and a government change in 2026. Candidates who have already appeared for interviews are not required to reappear. The recruitment process has faced delays due to legal challenges and administrative changes.
