What This Result Means (Simple Explanation) |
|
| The West Bengal Police Recruitment Board has now declared the final result for the Constable recruitment that started back in 2024. This result covers everyone who appeared for both the written exam and the interview — the Board has released two separate lists: one for candidates who have been Selected (provisionally, for appointment) and one for candidates who are Not Selected. Since the lists are separate, candidates should check both lists carefully using their Application Serial Number to know their exact status, instead of assuming they are selected just because their name appears somewhere in the released documents. | |

Background — Why the Vacancy Was Revised |
|
| The Backward Classes Welfare (BCW) Department, Government of West Bengal, issued a notification (No. 944-BCW/MR-23/2026, dated 18 May 2026) that withdrew all earlier notifications related to OBC reservation from 2025. A second notification (No. 945-BCW/MR-23/2026, same date) then notified a fresh State List of OBCs, made up of 66 classes, giving them 7% reservation in West Bengal Government jobs — this was done in line with a Calcutta High Court judgment dated 22 May 2024. Because of this change, WBPRB had to publish a revised vacancy position of 11,749 Constable posts, cancelling its earlier vacancy notice. | |

Since cut off is decided separately for each category and sub-category (UR, EWS, SC, ST, OBC and their Ex-Servicemen/Sports Quota/Civic Volunteer sub-groups, for both Male and Female), candidates should check the official cut-off marks PDF/image for their exact category rather than comparing with a different category’s cut off. |
