Special Opportunity for Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong Candidates

Why This Recruitment Is Historic for the Hills

The Gram Panchayat system in the Darjeeling Hills — covering Darjeeling Sadar, Kalimpong, Kurseong, and Mirik subdivisions — remained inactive for years due to political and administrative circumstances. With the system now formally revived, hundreds of long-pending posts in hill subdivisions are expected to be advertised in this recruitment cycle for the very first time. Candidates with proficiency in Nepali language (the official regional language for hill Panchayats) are strongly encouraged to apply. Local hill candidates have a distinct advantage — do not miss this window.

Age Limit Update 2026: West Bengal Government Raises Upper Age to 45 Years

In a significant development for government job aspirants across West Bengal, the Finance Department, Audit Branch (Nabanna, Howrah) has issued Notification No. 1707-F(P2) dated 16th May 2026, which came into force with effect from 11th May 2026. As per this order, the upper age limit for Group C and Group D posts under the West Bengal Government has been raised to 45 years. Since all Gram Panchayat posts covered under the WB Gram Panchayat Recruitment 2026 — including Clerk, DEO, GP Karmee, Nirman Sahayak, and Executive Assistant — fall within the Group C and Group D classification, this revised age ceiling is expected to apply directly to this recruitment drive. This is particularly beneficial for candidates in the 28–44 age bracket who were previously ineligible due to the earlier 40-year limit. Candidates are advised to verify applicability with the official WBPRMS notification once released.

Application Fee

CategoryExpected Application Fee
General / UnreservedRs. 500 to Rs. 700 (to be confirmed)
SC / ST / OBC / PwDExempted / Nil

Fee payment is done online through the wbprms.in portal via UPI, net banking, or debit/credit card at the time of registration.

Expected Salary Package

Selected candidates will be placed in West Bengal state government pay scales (6th Pay Commission), inclusive of Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), medical benefits, and other applicable perquisites.

Post NameExpected Monthly Salary
Gram Panchayat KarmeeRs. 17,000 to Rs. 41,000
Clerk / Data Entry OperatorRs. 24,700 to Rs. 63,900
Panchayat SecretaryRs. 25,500 to Rs. 66,800
Executive AssistantRs. 28,900 to Rs. 74,500
Nirman SahayakRs. 35,800 to Rs. 92,100

These are indicative figures based on WB Pay Commission scales. Final salary bands will be confirmed in the official notification PDF.

Selection Process

  1. Written Examination (MCQ-based) — Objective multiple-choice questions covering General Knowledge, Bengali/Nepali language, Mathematics, Reasoning, and Current Affairs.
  2. Skill Test / Typing Test — Applicable to specific posts such as DEO, Typist, and Computer Assistant.
  3. Interview / Document Verification — Shortlisted candidates are called for document verification and, for some posts, a personal interview.
  4. Final Merit List — Published on the WBPRMS portal based on combined performance across all stages.

Language Proficiency: A Mandatory Eligibility Condition

Mandatory Requirement: Since Gram Panchayat officials work directly with rural communities, the ability to read, write, and speak the official regional language is an absolute eligibility condition. For most of West Bengal, this means Bengali. For candidates from hill subdivisions (Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong), Nepali language proficiency is accepted and may be specifically required. Out-of-state candidates without the requisite language skills will be disqualified at the document verification stage.

Detailed Step-by-Step Guide: WBPRMS Registration, Profile Creation & Application Process

The official WBPRMS portal (wbprms.in) application process has several stages beyond just “register and apply” — and most candidates lose time at the Profile Creation stage because it requires details across multiple sub-sections. Here is the complete walkthrough, based on the official WBPRMS user guide, so you can prepare all your documents and information in advance before the portal goes live.

Step 1: New Registration on wbprms.in

To register, you will need a valid mobile number and email ID handy. The registration form requires:

FieldDetails
Mobile NumberMust be active — OTP will be sent here
Email IDValid email required
NameFirst, Middle (optional), Last Name
Date of BirthAs per your official documents
GenderSelect from dropdown
PasswordCreate your own login password
CaptchaEnter the code shown

After entering these details, click Send OTP, enter the OTP received on your mobile, and your registration will be completed instantly.

Note: Your registered mobile number and email ID cannot be changed later, so double-check both before submitting.

Step 2: Login to Your Dashboard

Once registered, log in using your registered mobile number, password, and captcha. This takes you directly to your personal dashboard.

Forgot your password? Use the Forgot Password option — enter your registered mobile number, set a new password, enter your Date of Birth, and verify via OTP sent to your mobile.

Step 3: Profile Creation (Most Important Stage)

This is the section where most of the application time goes. From your dashboard, click Edit Profile. The profile is divided into three tabs — Profile, Additional Information, and Uploads — and you must complete each one.

A. Photo & Signature Specifications

Keep these ready in advance to avoid upload errors:

DocumentFormatSizeDimension
Photograph (passport size, colour).jpeg / .jpg / .png30 KB – 80 KB160 × 213 px
Signature (black ink).jpeg / .jpg / .png5 KB – 50 KB

B. General Information

Fill in Blood Group, Computer Literacy status, and Aadhaar Number — all compulsory. Your Name, DOB, and Gender will auto-populate from your registration details.

C. Communication, Social Information & Identity Card

  • Communication details (mobile/email) are locked from registration and cannot be edited.
  • Social Information — Religion and Social Category (General/EWS/OBC-A/OBC-B/SC/ST as applicable).
  • Identity Card — Choose ID type (PAN / Driving Licence / Passport / School ID / Voter Card) and enter the card number.

D. Family Information & Addresses

Father/Guardian Name is compulsory under Family Information. You’ll then need to fill:

  • Permanent Address — Address, State, District, Police Station, Post Office, Postal Code, and Block/Corporation/Municipality (all compulsory).
  • Communication Address — Same fields as above. If your communication address is the same as your permanent address, simply tick the “Same As Permanent Address” checkbox to auto-fill it.

E. Educational Qualifications

This is where candidates most commonly upload incomplete data. Fill in whichever sections apply to you:

QualificationCompulsory FieldsNote
Class VIIIInstitution, Year of Passing, PercentageNot required if Class 10 details are filled
Class XBoard Name, Year of Passing, Percentage
Class XIIBoard, Course, Year, PercentageIf “Other State Boards,” manually input board name
DiplomaInstitution, Year, PercentageOnly diplomas from recognised institutions (State/Central Govt., State Council, AICTE, or UGC) are accepted
Bachelor’sUniversity, Course, Year, Percentage/CGPAIf your university isn’t listed, select “OTHERS” and type the name manually
Post GraduationUniversity, Course, Year, Percentage/CGPASame “OTHERS” rule applies

Step 4: Additional Information Tab

Fill these only if applicable to you — leave as “No” if not:

  • Ex-Servicemen — if Yes, enter Service Years/Months/Days and Zilla Sainik Registration Number.
  • Persons with Disability (40% and above) — if Yes, select the disability type.
  • Meritorious Sports Person — if Yes, enter Area and Sports Type.
  • Languages Known — update which languages you can Speak, Read, and Write.
  • DOEACC/PGDCA or other Computer Diploma Certificates — click Add Record if you hold a relevant computer certificate.

Step 5: Uploads Tab

Upload scanned copies of all relevant documents — Identity Proof, Class 10 Admit Card, Marksheets (Class 10, 10+2, Graduation, PG), and category certificates if applicable.

Important: If you later edit or change any status in your profile — Social Information, Identity Card, or any educational qualification — you will be required to re-upload the corresponding document.

Step 6: Applying to a Specific Post

Once your profile is fully filled and saved:

  1. Go to your dashboard and check the Recent Recruitment Drives panel for active vacancies in your district.
  2. Click on a vacancy to view full details — Advertisement Number, Post Name, eligibility, dates, salary structure, and instructions.
  3. Click the Apply button on the post you wish to apply for.

Step 7: Confirm Each Section & Submit

Inside the application form, you’ll see four tabs: Application, Additional Information, Uploads, Declaration. Each sub-section inside these tabs shows a colour status:

  • 🔴 Red = Incomplete
  • 🟢 Green = Confirmed and saved

You must toggle “Confirm and Save” on every section to turn it green. Once confirmed, that section locks and can no longer be edited — so review carefully before confirming.

Step 8: Declaration & Final Submission

In the Declaration tab:

  1. Click the edit icon to open the declaration form.
  2. Enter your Location and tick the “I Agree” checkbox confirming that all information provided is true and correct.
  3. Click Confirm and Save.

Then click Application Preview & Submit to review your complete application — General Information, Communication Details, Social Information, Identity Card, and more. If everything looks correct, click Submit Application.

Step 9: Download Your Application

After submission, click Download Application, then Download PDF to save a copy of your submitted form for your records. Keep this PDF safe — you may need it at later stages (admit card collection, document verification, etc.)

Managing Your Application After Submission

From your dashboard, each initiated application shows four icons:

IconFunction
ApplicationEdit your initiated (not-yet-submitted) application
ExamsCheck MCQ/Interview exam dates once announced
StatusTrack the current recruitment milestone for that post
Delete ApplicationRemove an initiated application (disabled once submitted)

You can also raise queries directly through the Query/Complaint option in your dashboard menu if you face any issues during the process.

💡 Tip for Candidates : Since you cannot edit your registered mobile number or email later, and several document re-uploads are triggered by profile edits, it’s best to gather all your certificates, photo, and signature scans in the correct format before you start filling the profile — this alone saves the most time during a high-traffic application window.

Important Documents Required

  • Proof of Date of Birth — Class 10th Admit Card or Birth Certificate
  • Marksheets and certificates of required qualification (Class 8, 10, 12, Graduation, or Diploma)
  • Valid Computer Certificate or Diploma (required for DEO, Executive Assistant, and Accounts Clerk posts)
  • Recent passport-size photograph (white background, clear face)
  • Clear signature scan on white paper
  • Category Certificate — SC / ST / OBC-A / OBC-B (if applicable)
  • Language proficiency certificate or district domicile proof (for hill subdivision candidates)
  • Disability Certificate from a competent authority (for PwD candidates)
