Download process

  • Released via candidate login on wbbpe.org ahead of the exam date
  • Mandatory for exam-day entry at the designated offline test centre

Result date

  • WB TET result (for the 2023-24 exam cycle) was declared Sep 24, 2025, by WBBPE based on the final answer key, published as a downloadable PDF

After the result

  • WB TET result/scorecard is released as a PDF on wbbpe.org/wbbprimaryeducation.org
  • Candidates check by entering date of birth and roll number
  • Selection for teaching posts uses a composite scheme: 60 marks for scoring at least 40% in WB TET (out of 150), 30 marks for academic/professional qualification, 5 marks for teaching experience, and 5 marks for a personality test (interview)
  1. 1No centralised in the traditional sense -- selection for West Bengal teaching posts uses the composite scoring scheme (WB TET score, academic qualification, teaching experience, and a personality test/interview) rather than a single-stage counselling process
  2. 2Qualified candidates are ranked and selected accordingly by WBBPE
  • Minimum qualifying marks for WB TET itself are 40% of 150 (i.e. 60 marks)
  • This qualifying score then feeds into the composite 100-point selection scheme (WB TET score 60 marks + academic qualification 30 marks + teaching experience 5 marks + personality test 5 marks) used for actual teacher recruitment

Campus-wise and branch-wise cut-off figures are being added. Check the official website for the latest.

  • Not a college-admission exam -- clearing WB TET (Primary or Upper-Primary) makes candidates eligible to fill vacancies for teaching posts in West Bengal government primary and upper-primary schools
