| OBC – A | 43.00 | 48.00 | ⬆️ 5 Marks Rise |
| SC | 48.67 | 47.00 | ⬇️ 1.6 Marks Drop |
🧐 Why General Cut Off Dropped by 16 Marks?

- More Candidates Qualified: WBPSC has qualified nearly 89,821 candidates this time (approx 15-20 times the vacancies), keeping the cut-off low to allow more students in Mains.
- EWS Effect: Introduction of the EWS category (Cut off only 11.75!) has shifted some General candidates, affecting the UR list.

🕒 Exam Timing

Final Selection Strategy 🏆
Part-1 marks will be ADDED to Part-2 marks for the final merit list. So, even if you scored just 49 in Part-1, you can still become a Clerk if you score high in Mains. In the final section, we will reveal the Part-II Syllabus Strategy and Final Merit Calculation logic.
How Final Selection Works? (The 1+1 Logic)
Many candidates make the mistake of thinking Part-I marks don’t matter now. WRONG! Unlike other exams, WBPSC Clerkship adds Part-I marks to the Final Merit List.
Example: If you scored 49 (Cut Off) in Part-I, you need to score very high (60+) in Part-II to be safe. If you scored 80 in Part-I, you are already in the safe zone.
⚡ Last Minute Tips for 28th Dec Exam
You have only 60 Minutes to write 6 Topics (3 English + 3 Bengali). Time management is the biggest challenge.
⏳ The 10-Minute Rule
Do not spend more than 10 minutes per question. Even if your Report is incomplete, move to the next question. Attempting all 6 questions is better than writing 3 perfect ones.
📝 Stick to Format
In Report Writing, format (Date, Place, Heading) carries marks. In Precis, giving a suitable Title is mandatory. Don’t forget these basics.
Stage 3: Computer Typing Test ⌨️
After Part-II results are out (likely in March 2026), selected candidates will be called for the Typing Test. This is qualifying in nature.
| Language Chosen | Required Speed | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| English | 20 Words Per Minute (WPM) | High accuracy preferred |
| Bengali | 10 Words Per Minute (WPM) | High accuracy preferred |
