Big News on SSC SLST Teachers Re-joining DPSC Issues Important Notice Know the Date and Required Documents

SSC SLST Re-joining: A significant step has been taken regarding the future of the 26,000 jobs from the 2016 recruitment process, which was cancelled due to the teacher recruitment scam in West Bengal. The South 24 Parganas District Primary School Council (DPSC) has issued an important notification, bringing relief to many teachers. This notification initiates the re-joining process for the SLST 2016 candidates into their previous jobs.

The notification was issued on 29/10/2025, and it clearly states that this action is being taken as per the directive of the Supreme Court.

Who is this Special Directive For?

This directive is primarily for those candidates who were selected in the 2016 SLST recruitment process and had left their previous primary school jobs to join the new posts. Subsequently, the recruitment of these 26,000 candidates was cancelled by the Calcutta High Court and later upheld by the Supreme Court, leaving many teachers unemployed.

On humanitarian grounds, the Supreme Court directed that candidates who had left their previous jobs (especially in primary schools) to join this recruitment should be given the opportunity to return to their former posts. Adhering to this directive, the South 24 Parganas DPSC has initiated this re-joining process.

Schedule for Collecting the Order as per the Notification

A specific timeline has been announced for the distribution of re-joining letters or orders to the concerned candidates. All eligible candidates must collect their orders from the Chairman’s office within this period.

Required Documents

Candidates are requested to be present on the specified day and time to collect their orders. They must carry all original documents with them. Special emphasis has been placed on the following documents:

• First Approval of DI: The original copy of the approval letter issued by the DI (District Inspector of Schools) office at the time of their initial joining in the primary school.
• A Photocopy of the said Approval: Along with the original, a Xerox copy of the approval letter must be submitted.

This notice has also been forwarded to all Sub-Inspectors (SI) of schools in the district to ensure that the message reaches the candidates in their respective areas promptly, facilitating a smooth process. This is a crucial step for all affected candidates, and completing the process within the stipulated time is mandatory.
