The West Bengal School Service Commission would soon begin the process of conducting interviews to fill up 1,585 posts at upper-primary level in state-run and state-aided secondary institutions, a top official said on Friday. The official said that a notification for filling up the posts would be issued in a few days, and interviews of those who have cleared the written exam were to be scheduled in the last week of the month.

In another development, a notification for Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), scheduled to begin from November 11 to fill up over 11,000 posts in primary schools, was issued by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education on Friday.
