HC asks SSC to publish OMR sheets of fresh recruitment exams
The Statesman | 28 November 2025
The Calcutta High Court, on Thursday, directed the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) to publish the optical mark recognition (OMR) sheets of all candidates appearing for the examinations for fresh recruitments for secondary and higher secondary teachers in state-run schools in West Bengal by 10 December.
The written examinations for fresh recruitment of teachers were conducted separately for the secondary and higher secondary sections in September this year, and recently, the results of both the written examinations have been declared.
The Calcutta High Court’s single-judge Bench directed WBSSC to publish OMR sheets for all candidates appearing in written examinations for both secondary and higher secondary sections separately and upload them on the official website of the commission.
On Thursday, Justice Amrita Sinha gave this direction after hearing on a petition filed at her Bench challenging the result of the written examination for fresh recruitment of higher secondary teachers.
Earlier, on November 19, Justice Sinha’s Bench directed SSC to identify the tainted candidates qualifying for the interview in the fresh recruitment process of higher secondary teachers in state-run schools in the state and also publish their names.
The fresh recruitment process was held after the Supreme Court cancelled around 26,000 school jobs, including both teaching and non-teaching posts.
