Background Context (Contextual Insight)
Recent legal developments have impacted WBSSC recruitment processes. The Supreme Court annulled the 2016 teacher appointment panel citing systemic fraud, necessitating fresh recruitment by December 31, 2025, with increased transparency measures like providing OMR copies and preserving records
Though this context primarily relates to teaching posts, it signals WBSSC’s broader move toward transparent and merit-based recruitment practices that may influence Group C vacancies as well.
