What is teachers' recruitment scam of Bengal due to which 24,000 jobs were cancelled?
The teachers' recruitment scam pertains to the hiring initiated by the West Bengal School Service Commission. After recruitment began in 2016, petitioners alleged that those who scored lesser marks were ranked higher. Allegedly few who weren't on the merit list got appointment letters. While cancelling jobs of 23,753 teachers and non-teaching staff, Calcutta HC said OMR sheets were tampered with.
