The West Bengal School Services Commission (WBSSC) said on Friday that it will soon start the process of conducting a new examination of all the teaching and non-teaching candidates who followed the Supreme Court’s directive, who participated in the 2016 job recruitment process. Talking to reporters a day after the court canceling the appointments of 25,752 teachers and employees in government and government aided schools, WBSSC Chairman Siddharth Majumdar said that the Commission will seek legal advice on the eligibility of the candidates appearing for the exams, in view of the order of the top court.
WBSSC chairman said- It is impossible to complete the process in three months
He said, “In 2016, about 26 lakh candidates applied for the exam and about 22 lakhs had appeared. About 1.41 lakh candidates had given the teacher recruitment examination for class 9-10 and about 1.5 lakhs for class 11-12. Majumdar said,” The rest took the exam for non-teaching posts. Although the Supreme Court has directed us to start the selection process to fill the vacancies, we will need legal explanation on whether the new candidates are also eligible to participate in the new examinations. “However, the chairman confirmed that the selection process is impossible to complete in three months, looking at the large number of candidates.” Majumdar said, “There is no mention of three months in the court order. This is a long process and this process is unlikely to be completed in three months. ”
What is the whole matter?
In fact, in the year 2016, the West Bengal School Services Commission (SSC) started the selection process for the recruitment of teachers at the state level. This selection process was accused of fraud and then the case reached the Calcutta High Court. Meanwhile, on 22 April 2024, the Calcutta High Court canceled the appointment of 25,752 teachers, non -teaching staff in schools sponsored and aided by the Government of West Bengal. The Bengal government reached the Supreme Court on 29 April 2024 against it. In this male, now the Supreme Court has given its verdict.
