About the WB TET Examination

The West Bengal Teacher Eligibility Test (WB TET) is conducted by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) to certify candidates for teaching positions in government primary and upper primary schools. It consists of two papers — Paper I for Primary (Class 1-5) and Paper II for Upper Primary (Class 6-8).
