📌 What Is the WB TET Cut Off?
The cutoff is the minimum marks (%) a candidate must secure in the WB TET to become eligible for a TET certificate.
It does not guarantee a teaching post, but only certifies eligibility for teacher recruitment in WB government / aided schools.
WBBPE issues different cutoffs for General / Unreserved and Reserved categories (OBC-A, OBC-B, SC, ST, PH etc.).
📊 WB TET 2025 Minimum Qualifying Marks (Expected / Reported)
According to recent reports:
| Category | Cutoff Percentage | Marks Equivalent (Out of 150) |
|---|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 60% | 90 marks |
| SC / ST / OBC-A / OBC-B / PH / EC / Ex-Servicemen | 55% | 82.5 marks |
| Reserved Category from Other States | 58% (less commonly cited) | 87 marks |
These percentages reflect commonly cited “minimum qualifying marks” that have been used in news / exam portals.
📆 Historical / Past Trend for WB TET Cut Off
In previous cycles, the WB TET board has consistently maintained 60% for General and 55% for reservedcategories as qualifying benchmarks.
Testbook’s information also lists 60% for General and 55% for SC/ST/OBC/PH as the fixed cutoff values.
Many aspirants and education portals report similar thresholds being used in recent years.
Because these cutoffs are fairly stable, they act as a reliable guide for what to aim for in terms of scoring.
⚙️ How the Cut Off Is Applied & What Matters
The WB TET cutoff is applied on aggregate marks — i.e., your total score out of 150 must meet or exceed the cutoff.
There is no separate sectional cutoff (i.e., you don’t need to separately pass each subject section).
The board may release a PDF or notification with exact cutoff marks for each category after results.
The cutoff is only to qualify for TET certificate, which is a mandatory credential when applying for teaching jobs in WB.
✅ What It Means for You as a Candidate
If you belong to the General category, you must aim for 90+ marks or more to safely cross the 60% threshold.
For SC / ST / OBC / PH etc., you must aim for 82.5 marks or above (i.e. 55%) as the baseline.
It’s wise to score well above the cutoff, especially for competitive districts / schools.
Check official WBBPE announcements / result PDFs to confirm the exact cutoff numbers after results are declared.
🧭 Steps to Check Official Cut Off After Result
Visit the official WBBPE / WBB primary education website (wbbpe.wb.gov.in or wbbprimary.org).
Look under “Notifications / Results / TET” section.
Download the WB TET Result / Cut Off PDF.
Search your category to see the official cutoff marks.
Compare your score with that official cutoff to see qualification status.
📝 Example & Hypothetical Scenario
Suppose you are from the General category and you scored 88 out of 150:
88 / 150 = 58.67% → That is below the 60% cutoff, so you would not qualify in this scenario.
You would need to improve to 90 or more marks to meet the qualifying standard.
Likewise, if you are from a reserved category and scored 85:
85 / 150 ≈ 56.67%, which is above the 55% cutoff for reserved categories, so you qualify.
⚠️ Caveats & Things to Note
The cutoffs reported above are provisional / expected as per news and exam portals. Final cutoffs will be declared by WBBPE.
In some years, the board may tweak cutoff percentages slightly based on exam difficulty, number of candidates, performance distribution, etc.
A candidate must remember that qualifying TET does not guarantee a school posting or job — it only certifies you to apply in teaching recruitment in WB.
Always rely on the official WBBPE website or official notifications for the final say.
📌 Conclusion
The WB TET Cut Off 2025 is expected to follow the familiar pattern of 60% (90/150) for General / Unreserved and 55% (82.5/150) for SC / ST / OBC / PH etc. These thresholds represent the minimum qualifying marks required to obtain the TET certificate. While these serve as a helpful guideline, the official cutoff must be confirmed once WBBPE publishes the result. Until then, aim higher than the threshold to maximize your chances of qualifying.
