Landmark Decision Opens Doors for 2,328 Primary Teacher Jobs: In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India has declared that candidates who completed their D.El.Ed (Diploma in Elementary Education) during the 2022 Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) recruitment process in West Bengal will now be eligible for primary teacher jobs. This historic verdict, delivered by a bench led by Justice P.S. Narasimha, paves the way for approximately 2,328 new teaching positions in the state.
Key Highlights of the Supreme Court Ruling:
✔ Eligibility Expansion: Previously, only candidates who had completed their D.El.Ed before the TET 2022 exam were considered eligible. With this new ruling, those who obtained their certification during the recruitment process will also be included.
✔ Impact on Job Aspirants: Many aspiring teachers who were earlier deemed ineligible can now apply for primary teacher positions, improving their career prospects.
✔ Boost to West Bengal’s Education Sector: The inclusion of more trained teachers is expected to enhance the quality of education in government schools across the state.
Next Steps for Candidates: Candidates who now qualify under this updated eligibility criteria should stay updated with notifications from the West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE). The government is expected to release a fresh recruitment notification soon to accommodate these newly eligible applicants.
The Supreme Court’s verdict has provided a ray of hope for thousands of aspiring teachers in West Bengal. This decision is not just a win for job seekers but also a step forward in strengthening the state’s education system.
