WB SLST IX-XII 2016 পরীক্ষা বাতিল, নতুন করে পরীক্ষা নেওয়া হবে
পশ্চিমবঙ্গ স্কুল সার্ভিস কমিশন (WBSSC) ২০১৬ সালের রাজ্যস্তরীয় শিক্ষক নিয়োগ পরীক্ষা (SLST) বাতিল করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে। দুর্নীতি ও অনিয়মের অভিযোগের ভিত্তিতে দীর্ঘ আইনি প্রক্রিয়ার পর এই সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়া হয়েছে। কমিশন ঘোষণা করেছে, খুব শীঘ্রই নতুন করে পরীক্ষা নেওয়া হবে এবং তার জন্য বিস্তারিত বিজ্ঞপ্তি প্রকাশ করা হবে।
পূর্বের পরীক্ষার্থীদের জন্য শুধুমাত্র এই পরীক্ষা হবে, তবে স্বচ্ছতার স্বার্থে নতুন সিদ্ধান্ত ও কঠোর পদ্ধতি গ্রহণ করা হতে পারে। আগ্রহী প্রার্থীদের WBSSC-এর অফিসিয়াল ওয়েবসাইট নিয়মিত দেখার পরামর্শ দেওয়া হয়েছে। এই সিদ্ধান্তকে শিক্ষা ক্ষেত্রে ন্যায়বিচার এবং স্বচ্ছতা প্রতিষ্ঠার একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ পদক্ষেপ হিসেবে দেখা হচ্ছে।

Who can sit for WB SLST IX-XII 2025 Examination?
Here are the eligibility criteria (who can sit) for the WB SLST 2025 (for Classes IX–X & XI–XII, Assistant Teachers):
From the official notification “2nd SLST (AT), 2025”
Eligibility Criteria
1. Citizenship / Nationality
- The candidate must be a citizen of India.
2. Educational Qualification
The requirements differ slightly depending on whether the post is for Classes IX–X (Secondary) or Classes XI–XII (Higher Secondary).
| Post | Qualification Required |
|---|---|
| Assistant Teacher IX–X (Secondary) | – Graduate / Postgraduate from a recognised university with at least 50% marks in either Graduation or Postgraduation (or equivalent) AND a B.Ed. degree from an NCTE recognised institution OR – A 4-year B.A.Ed / B.Sc.Ed degree from an NCTE recognised institution |
| Assistant Teacher XI–XII (Higher Secondary) | – Postgraduate degree with at least 50% marks (or equivalent) from a recognised university AND B.Ed. from an NCTE recognised institution OR – Postgraduate degree (≥ 50%) AND B.A.Ed / B.Sc.Ed from any NCTE recognised institution |
Note: Some sources also mention that candidates with 45% marks + B.Ed may be considered under some relaxed norms (in line with certain guidelines) — but the primary requirement is ≥50% in the relevant degree.
3. Age Limit
- The usual age range given is 21 to 40 years (as of 01.01.2025) for the SLST 2025.
- Relaxations in upper age limit are applicable:
• SC / ST: +5 years
• OBC: +3 years
• Physically Handicapped: +8 years
Some older or related documents for SLST (XI–XII / IX–X) mention a minimum age of 20 years, but for the 2025 drive, the notice mentions 21 years.
How many candidates were there in each category of WB SLST IX-XII 2016 exam?
Approximately 10,233 vacancies were announced for classes IX-X and 6,296 for classes XI-XII. According to the WBSSC council’s official data, a total of 3 lakh 29 thousand students took the exams from 9th to 10th and 5 lakh 54 thousand students took the exams from 11th to12th. But a special survey of qualified, disadvantaged job seekers revealed that this number is much lower.
Will it be possible to retake SLST 2016 exam is a transparent manner?
Mamata Banerjee was the Chief Minister when this exam was conducted. It is possible only if she wants to take the exam with a clear mind. And if she orders the Education Minister to get rid of the responsibility, I don’t think that will ever be possible.
Will new candidates be able to take part this reexam, can the number of seats be updated?
Yes — it appears new candidates can participate in the re-exam (i.e. the 2025 SLST) provided they satisfy the eligibility criteria. The official website states:
• Any citizen of India only may apply …
• Eligible candidates with the Minimum qualification laid down in the Rules, 2025 may apply online …
So, it is not limited only to those who applied earlier.
As for whether the number of seats (vacancies) can be updated (i.e. increased or changed) for this reexam:
The 2025 notification already announces 35,726 vacancies for Assistant Teachers (classes IX–X and XI–XII)
