WBSSC sends list of tainted and untainted candidates for cross-verification amid protests by sacked teachers.
Amidst ongoing protests by sacked teachers of secondary and higher secondary schools, the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has sent a list of ‘tainted’ and ‘untainted’ candidates to the state education department for cross-verification, a senior official said on Monday (April 14, 2025).
The list, dispatched on April 13, reportedly segregates candidates affected by the Supreme Court’s April 3 order, which invalidated the appointments of around 26,000 teaching and non-teaching staff due to large-scale irregularities in the 2016 recruitment process.
According to the official, the list categorises tainted candidates as those with discrepancies in their OMR sheets or those who allegedly secured jobs by jumping ranks through fraudulent means.
It also includes details of ‘untainted’ or deserving candidates who qualified purely on merit.
"The list is currently being cross-verified," the official said.
Education Minister Bratya Basu had earlier announced that the list would be made public on the WBSSC website by April 21, following legal consultation.
"We will seek advice from legal experts before publishing the names," he said on April 11.
