Understanding the Requisition Process

The WBCSC has directed all government-aided colleges in West Bengal to submit requisitions for vacant Assistant Professor positions by February 1, 2026. This requisition covers both General Degree Colleges and Teachers’ Training Colleges.

What Vacancies Are Covered?

The requisition applies to vacancies created through:

  • Retirement
  • Resignation
  • Death
  • Dismissal
  • Approval of new posts by the Government

Colleges can submit requisitions for both existing vacancies and those that will be created in the near future.

Key Requirements for Colleges

Colleges must submit their requisitions in duplicate using PROFORMA 2026, along with essential documents, including:

  1. Photocopy of ROA (Register of Appointment) authenticated by the BCW and/or Social Welfare Department
  2. Copy of Government Order (G.O.) for all vacant posts, including newly created positions
  3. Relevant Governing Body (G.B.) resolution

An important note: Colleges that have already submitted requisitions before this notification do not need to send fresh proposals.

What Information Must Colleges Provide?

The requisition form is comprehensive and requires detailed information about each vacancy:

For General Degree Colleges:

  • Complete college details (name, address, affiliating university, shift)
  • Subject details and level of teaching (General/Honours/PG)
  • Medium of instruction (Bengali/English/Hindi/Nepali/Santali/Urdu)
  • Gender specifications, if any
  • Number of sanctioned posts versus existing teachers
  • Student’s strength in the subject
  • Weekly class schedule
  • Roster position and category (General/SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B/PWD)
  • Reason and date of vacancy creation

For Teachers’ Training Colleges:

Similar information is required, with additional details about:

  • Foundation Course or Methodology Course
  • Course type (UG/PG level)
  • Total number of units in the course
  • Course-specific sanctioned posts

The Accountability Framework

The notification emphasizes institutional accountability. College authorities must provide a declaration stating that:

  1. All furnished data is correct and true to college records
  2. The college has decided to fill vacant posts through WBCSC after proper authentication
  3. The college authority will be responsible for any discrepancy, wrong information, or misrepresentation

This declaration must be signed by the Principal/Teacher-in-Charge/President of the Governing Body/Administrator with date and seal.

What This Means for Aspirants

While this notification is specifically for colleges to submit requisitions, it represents a crucial first step in the recruitment process. The WBCSC needs to know the total number and nature of vacancies across the state before it can issue a recruitment notification.

The Pattern to Watch

You mentioned that in 2018, a similar requisition notice was followed by a recruitment notification. While past patterns can be indicative, it’s important to note that:

  • The gap between requisition and recruitment notifications can vary
  • The commission must first compile and verify all requisition data
  • Authentication by relevant government departments takes time
  • The actual recruitment notification will depend on government approval and the total number of verified vacancies

What Happens Next?

After the February 1, 2026 deadline, the WBCSC will likely:

  1. Compile all requisitions from colleges statewide
  2. Verify the documents and authenticate the vacancies
  3. Coordinate with BCW and Social Welfare Department for reservation compliance
  4. Prepare a consolidated list of vacancies
  5. Seek necessary government approvals

Only after these steps are completed can the commission issue a formal recruitment notification detailing eligibility criteria, application process, examination pattern, and selection procedure.

Advice for Aspiring Assistant Professors

While waiting for the recruitment notification, candidates should:

  • Stay Updated: Regularly check the official WBCSC website for announcements
  • Prepare Thoroughly: Review UGC-NET/SLET syllabus and subject-specific content
  • Gather Documents: Keep all educational certificates, category certificates, and other required documents ready
  • Monitor Official Channels: Follow only official sources to avoid misinformation

The requisition notification is an encouraging sign for those seeking Assistant Professor positions in West Bengal’s government-aided colleges. While we cannot definitively state when or if a recruitment notification will follow, this requisition process is a necessary precursor to any recruitment drive.

Aspirants should remain hopeful but patient, using this time to strengthen their preparation. Keep an eye on the official WBCSC website and verified news sources for updates.
