The West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC) has released the results for Part 1 of the 2023 Clerkship recruitment examination. A total of 89,821 candidates have successfully qualified for the subsequent Part 2 examination. Candidates who participated in the initial screening can now access their results directly through the official WBPSC website,psc.wb.gov.in.

Accessing Clerkship Part 1 Results

WBPSC announced the Clerkship Part 1 results in a downloadable PDF document. This official PDF contains a comprehensive list of roll numbers for all candidates who have been deemed qualified. The roll numbers are arranged in ascending order, allowing for easy verification. The commission explicitly stated: “Roll Numbers of 89,821 candidates who have been qualified for Clerkship Examination (Part-II), 2023 on the basis of the result of the Part-I of the said examination conducted on 16.11.2024 and 17.11.2024 arranged in ascending order.” This Part 1 examination, forming a crucial stage of the 2023 recruitment cycle, took place on November 16 and 17, 2024 . Candidates should download and verify their roll numbers carefully.

Next Stages: Part 2 Exam and Skill Assessment

Candidates who have qualified in Part 1 are now eligible to appear for the Part 2 examination. This next stage is essential for progression in the recruitment process. Details regarding the Part 2 exam schedule and syllabus will be released by WBPSC in due course. Following successful completion of both Part 1 and Part 2, candidates will face an additional assessment. This third evaluation focuses on fundamental computer operation knowledge and practical typing skills. Performance in this skill test is mandatory for final consideration.

The final merit list for the Clerkship position will not be solely based on the initial written exams. It will be compiled from the total aggregate marks secured by candidates in both Part 1 and Part 2 of the examination. Crucially, candidates must also have qualified in the separate test that evaluates basic computer operation skills and typing ability. Failure to pass the computer and typing test, regardless of written exam scores, will disqualify a candidate from the final merit list. Aspirants should therefore prepare for all stages comprehensively.

Understanding Tie-Breaking Rules

To ensure fair selection, WBPSC employs a specific set of rules to resolve tie-scores among candidates. These tie-breaking principles follow a clear order of preference:

• First Preference: Candidates with higher aggregate marks in specific language subjects are prioritized. This includes combined scores in English and one other chosen language, such as Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, or Santali.
• Second Preference: If a tie persists after the first criterion, candidates who scored higher marks specifically in the English subject are given precedence.
• Third Preference: Should the tie still remain unresolved after considering both language-based criteria, the commission will prioritize the older candidate. This means the candidate with an earlier date of birth will be selected over a younger candidate with identical scores.

Category-Wise Cut-Off Marks for Part 1

The minimum scores required to qualify for the WBPSC Clerkship Part 1 examination, 2023, varied based on the candidate’s category. These cut-off marks determine eligibility for the subsequent Part 2 exam. The category-wise cut-offs are presented in the table below, serving as a benchmark for candidate performance:
