The West Bengal Staff Selection Commission (WBSSC) has issued a fresh recruitment notification for 8,477 vacancies under Groups C and D, marking one of the largest state-level hiring drives this year. The online application window is set to close today, prompting an urgent call for eligible candidates to submit their forms before the deadline passes.
Group C positions typically include clerical, assistant, and supervisory roles, while Group D covers lower-level administrative and supporting staff positions across various departments in the state government. These recruitments are conducted to fill positions that remain vacant due to retirements, expansion of governmental operations, and renewed staffing requirements in public sector organizations throughout West Bengal.
Candidates who have passed the required educational qualifications — generally Class 10 or Class 12 depending on the specific post — are encouraged to apply. The selection process usually involves a written examination followed by document verification. Candidates must ensure they possess all necessary certificates and documents before appearing for the test.
The commission has repeatedly warned applicants against relying on third-party agents or unofficial portals, emphasizing that all applications must be submitted solely through westbengalssc.com. The online form requires personal details, educational qualifications, category certification, and a recent photograph and signature uploaded in the prescribed format.
Fee structures vary by category, with general and OBC candidates paying a higher application fee compared to SC, ST, and economically weaker section applicants, who often qualify for concession or complete waiver. Payment can be made through net banking, debit card, or credit card within the official portal.
Authorities have not yet released the detailed vacancy-wise breakdown for each department, though previous cycles indicate postings span education, health, revenue, and local administration departments. A revised advertisement containing complete position-wise details is expected to be published on the official website shortly.
