The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has declared the WBSSC Group C and D Result 2026. On Thursday, November 5, 2026, the Commission published the preliminary interview lists for Clerk (Group C) and Group D posts under the 1st State Level Selection Test (Non-Teaching Staff), 2025, on its official website, westbengalssc.com. The lists cover 8,477 non-teaching posts in government-aided and sponsored high and higher secondary schools across West Bengal — 2,989 Clerk posts and 5,488 Group D posts — for which more than 16 lakh candidates appeared in the written examinations held on March 1, 2026 (Group C) and March 8, 2026 (Group D). Read the word preliminary carefully: this list decides who goes to the next stage, it does not hand out jobs. Candidates whose names appear in the lists will be called for physical verification of original documents and an oral interview; the Commission has not announced the schedule for either stage yet. This post is for the candidates who appeared in the written examinations — the online application window ran from November 3 to December 12, 2025, and is long closed, so nobody can apply now. The details in this post were checked against the CareerPower articles on this recruitment and cross-checked against Testbook, FreeJobAlert, Karmasandhan, Prepp and 9curry, which agree on the result date, the two memo numbers, the vacancy figures, the examination dates and the next stages. Candidates should still read the result notices on the official website, westbengalssc.com, before they act.

The preliminary interview lists for Clerk (Group C) and Group D were published on November 5, 2026. Check your name, roll number, marks and the cut-off marks for your region, medium and category on the official website, and keep your original documents ready for verification.

Selection is through the written examination, followed by physical verification of original documents and an oral interview; Clerk candidates also face a Typing-cum-Computer Proficiency Test, as explained below.

Selection Process and Exam Pattern

The pattern below is the revised pattern from the notification summary: Group C sat 60 questions for 60 marks in 1 hour 50 minutes, and Group D sat 40 questions for 40 marks in 1 hour 20 minutes.

Clerk note: the final merit for Clerk takes the total marks from the written examination, academic performance, similar experience and the interview, including the Typing-cum-Computer Proficiency Test. For Group D Staff, selection is on the written examination and the interview. For Librarian, the written examination, academic performance, similar experience and the interview are counted.
1. Written Examination — Done (March 1 and 8, 2026)
Group C (Clerk) on Sunday, March 1, 2026, and Group D on Sunday, March 8, 2026. More than 16 lakh candidates appeared across the two examinations. The answer keys were released on Thursday, April 2, 2026.
2. Preliminary Interview Lists — Published (November 5, 2026)
The Commission published separate preliminary interview lists for Clerk (Memo No. 2037/7052/CSSC/ESTT/2026) and Group D (Memo No. 2036/7053/CSSC/ESTT/2026). Each list is split by region, medium and category, and carries the roll numbers, names, marks and cut-off marks of the shortlisted candidates. About two candidates have been called per vacancy.
3. Physical Verification of Original Documents — Schedule Awaited
Shortlisted candidates will be called for physical verification of their original documents. Carry the originals listed in the steps below, with self-attested photocopies. The schedule will be announced separately on westbengalssc.com, and the verification will be held region-wise.
4. Oral Interview — Schedule Awaited
Candidates who clear document verification will face an oral interview. Clerk candidates also face a Typing-cum-Computer Proficiency Test as part of the interview stage. The interview carries weight in the final merit, so do not treat the written examination marks as the final word.
5. Final Panel and Appointment — To Be Announced
After document verification and the oral interview, the Commission will prepare the final panel. The preliminary interview list is not the final selection panel, the waiting list or an appointment order. The final result will be published on the official website after the interviews.
Result note: the lists published on November 5, 2026 are expressly described by the Commission as preliminary interview lists. They identify the candidates for further consideration; they do not constitute the final selection panel, the waiting list or an appointment order. If your name is not in the list, the written examination stage is over for you in this recruitment.
