This recruitment drive aims to fill 8,478 non-teaching vacancies in government and government-aided schools across West Bengal. Over 16 lakh candidates appeared for the examinations, leading to a high competition ratio of approximately 189 candidates per post.

Overview of the WBSSC 1st SLST (Non-Teaching) 2025

The recruitment process, initiated with a notification on January 29, 2026, is for Group C (Clerk) and Group D (Support Staff) positions. The Group C examination was conducted on March 1, 2026, followed by the Group D examination on March 8, 2026. The provisional answer key for both exams was released on April 2, 2026.

The delay in result declaration has led to speculation regarding further postponements, as the Commission’s evaluation and merit-list compilation process has taken longer than typical state-level exams due to the large number of candidates. The final merit list for the WBSSC SLST is currently expected around March-April 2027.
