Upper Primary Recruitment Stalled: 1241 Candidates Face Uncertainty

• Recruitment for 1241 Upper Primary job seekers remains stalled due to a lack of matching vacancies.
• Kolkata High Court instructed the state's Advocate General on January 30 to resolve the issue within two weeks, but no practical progress has been made.
• The Education Department has not sent a list of vacant posts to the School Service Commission (SSC), preventing the final phase of counseling.
• Counseling for 12,723 candidates has been completed, but 1241 candidates are still awaiting their turn, despite the process ongoing for nearly 1.5 years.
• The next hearing for the case is scheduled for February 24, 2026, with job seekers hoping for a resolution before then.
