WBSSC Posts 3.5 Lakh 2016 Teacher-Exam OMR Sheets Online Ahead of Supreme Court Hearing

Overview

• West Bengal’s School Service Commission uploaded scanned answer-sheet images from the 2016 State Level Selection Test for assistant teachers, covering about 350,000 candidates.
• Commission notices say the files came on hard drives from the CBI and were posted to follow the spirit of a Supreme Court order that demanded transparency.
• The move follows a contempt petition that pressed for public access to the scans, with the top court set to take up the issue in its next hearing.
• Non-teaching exam records from the 2016 cycle will be posted next, and candidates can now view their own scans on the SSC site using their roll number and date of birth.
• The scandal led courts to cancel 25,752 school jobs, including 17,209 teachers, and the commission is refilling posts through a new process with counselling underway for 12,514 higher‑secondary roles and interviews pending for 23,314 secondary vacancies.
