WBSSC Extends Deadline: SLST Clerk & Group D Applications Till 12 Dec

The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has officially extended the last date to apply for its 2025 recruitment drive for non-teaching posts — giving aspirants extra time to complete their applications. The extension mainly affects Group C (Clerk) and Group D positions under the State Level Selection Test (SLST) 2025.

Extended Deadline — What Candidates Should Know

WBSSC has pushed back the application deadline for SLST 2025 to 12 December 2025 (5:59 PM) for both Group C (Clerk) and Group D posts. Likewise, the fee payment window has been extended to 12 December 2025 (11:59 PM). This extension is a boon for candidates who may have faced technical difficulties or delays in the earlier window. The extra days allow greater flexibility to ensure all documents, photographs, or applications are submitted correctly.

Vacancy Details & Eligibility Criteria

The 2025 recruitment drive by WBSSC offers a total of 8,477 vacancies, split among Group C (2,989 Clerk posts) and Group D (5,488 support-staff posts).

Eligibility criteria include:

• For Clerk (Group C) — pass in Madhyamik or equivalent (or old HS in lieu). Age limit: 18–40 years (with relaxations for SC/ST/OBC/PH).
• For Group D — pass in Class VIII from a recognized school. Age limit same as above.

Applicants should review the official eligibility norms carefully before submitting their forms.

Application Process & What to Check

To apply, candidates must:

1. Register on the official WBSSC portal.
2. Fill in personal, academic, and other required details accurately.
3. Upload documents such as a photograph, signature, and identity proofs.
4. Pay the application fee (for General/OBC/EWS: ₹400; for SC/ST/PH: ₹150).

Before hitting “Submit”, applicants are advised to double-check their entries — errors or mismatches may lead to rejection.

Why the Extension Matters?

The extension reflects WBSSC’s recognition of high traffic and portal glitches, which many applicants reportedly faced earlier in the application window. The additional time ensures that more eligible candidates get a fair chance to apply. Moreover, with a large number of vacancies across West Bengal, this recruitment drive offers a significant opportunity for job-seekers seeking stable, non-teaching roles in schools.
