Kolkata: The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) is expected to release the preliminary interview list for assistant teacher recruitment in classes IX–X this week, with officials indicating a likely publication on Friday or Saturday.
The written examination for the IX–X category was held on September 7, and the results were announced on November 24.
