The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) is actively compiling a list of 'tainted' candidates from the 2016 State Level Selection Test (SLST), in compliance with a Supreme Court order aimed at bringing integrity to the recruitment process.

A WBSSC official disclosed that the commission's legal team has confirmed to the Supreme Court their commitment to submit the list within a week. The initiative seeks to reassure stakeholders of a fair recruitment process devoid of past discrepancies.

Despite previous concerns about potentially tainted individuals receiving admit cards for exams on September 7 and 14, assurances have been made to prevent their participation. The commission further announced that exam admit cards are available for download from their website.
