Primary Recruitment 2025: Speculation on 30000 Primary Teacher Recruitment! Know the Truth Behind Viral Notice
Primary Recruitment 2025: A new wave of speculation has emerged regarding the recruitment of primary teachers in the state. Recently, a notification has gone viral across various social media platforms, claiming that the vacancy count for the upcoming 2025 Primary Teacher Recruitment process has been drastically increased to 30,000. Naturally, this news has sparked immense hope among long-awaiting job aspirants. However, how much truth lies behind this claim? Today, we will analyze this viral notice and reveal the actual reality.
Viral Claim vs. Ground Reality
The West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) had already outlined the roadmap for their upcoming recruitment drive. According to officially announced data, the total number of vacancies for the 2025 recruitment process stands at 13,421. Yet, a viral notice dated December 20, 2025, claims that this figure has been revised to 30,000. Our investigation, however, reveals that this notification circulating on social media is completely fake and baseless. No such official announcement has been made by the Board or the Education Department.
Why is a 30,000 Vacancy Increase Impossible?
Increasing vacancies from 13,000 to 30,000 abruptly is not practically feasible due to several administrative and financial reasons. The key reasons are discussed below:
- Lack of Finance Department Approval: Creating new posts or increasing vacancies for any government job requires specific approval from the State Finance Department. This is because the government must bear the full responsibility for the salaries and allowances of the new recruits. Currently, the Board or the School Education Department does not have any such clearance for 30,000 posts.
- Administrative Limitations: Many believe that the inclusion of Class 5 in the primary section might lead to an increase in vacancies. While partially true, this move could at best generate 1,500 to 2,000 new posts. However, jumping nearly 16,000 posts to reach a total of 30,000 is administratively impossible at this moment.
- Board’s Past Record: Past trends show that once the recruitment notification is released, the WBBPE usually does not make major changes to the announced vacancy figures. Despite legal hurdles, they tend to complete the recruitment based on the initially declared posts.

Legal Complexities and Supernumerary Posts
In light of the cases involving 2020-22 D.El.Ed candidates and Supreme Court directives, the Board technically has the option to create ‘Supernumerary’ or additional posts. However, the creation of such posts in SSC recruitment previously led to significant legal complications. Keeping that experience in mind, the Primary Education Board does not wish to get entangled in legal battles by announcing a fresh 30,000 vacancy list.
We urge all job aspirants not to be misled by anonymous notifications circulating on social media. The West Bengal Board of Primary Education is currently proceeding with the recruitment process for 13,421 posts only. Always visit the official website of the Board for authentic information.
