Teacher Recruitment Case: The West Bengal teacher recruitment corruption case has taken a new turn, with the court seeking answers to several critical questions. The next hearing date for the case has been scheduled, and thousands of job aspirants are awaiting the resolution of allegations concerning the transparency of the entire process. The investigation is currently revolving around four main questions, the answers to which will determine the future of many candidates.

The Four Key Issues Under the Court’s Scrutiny

In this ongoing case at the Calcutta High Court, attention has been drawn to specific allegations and procedural irregularities. The court is primarily focusing on four key issues and has sought clear answers from the concerned authorities.

• Recruitment of Non-Trained Candidates: The court is examining whether any relaxation period was granted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) during the recruitment of non-trained candidates in 2017. This point could directly impact the legality of the recruitment process.
• Allegations of Corruption and Illegality: The allegations of corruption and serious illegality raised by “Bikash Babu” are being given special consideration by the court. A thorough investigation is required to verify the authenticity of these claims.
• Role of the Private Company: Questions have also been raised about the role of a private company named S. Basuray in the TET 2014 examination and the subsequent selection process. The extent of this company’s influence on the examination procedure and result determination is now under investigation.
• Complaints Regarding Cut-Off Marks: Many aspirants have complained that some candidates secured jobs with lower marks while those with higher marks were left out. This allegation of discrepancy in cut-off marks is extremely serious and has put the transparency of the recruitment process in question.

Next Hearing and the Future of the Case

The next hearing for this significant case has been scheduled for November 4, 2025. However, based on a request from the Board’s lawyers, November 6 may also be considered for the hearing.

The outcome of this case will play a crucial role in shaping the future of West Bengal’s education system. Job aspirants are now looking towards the court, hoping for a transparent and just solution.
