  1. There are various general principles which shall apply to the determination of seniority in the various services and posts under the West Bengal Govt as laid down in West Bengal Services Determination of Seniority Rules.
  2. The relative seniority of all direct recruits recruited through competitive examination, interview or after training shall be determined by the order of merit in which they are selected for such appointment, on the recommendation of the State Public Service Commission or other selecting authority, persons appointed as a result of an earlier selection being senior to those appointed as a result of a subsequent selection.
  3. Seniority of persons appointed on promotion to any post, cadre or grade shall be determined from the date of joining such post, cadre or grade.
  4. The relative seniority between a promotee and a direct recruit shall be determined by the year of appointment or promotion of each in the post, cadre or grade irrespective of the date of joining.
  5. The relative seniority of persons appointed by transfer to a post, cadre or grade from the feeder post, cadre or grade of the same department or office or from other departments or offices of the Government shall be determined by the order of selection for such transfer.

    Dear sir,

    I had appeared primary teacher examination on 17 Feb 2002.

    And my appointment letter was issued on 17.02.2013 .

    Hence I joined my duty from 4.3.2013

    My question is, do I get the benefit of seniority from the year 2002.

    Thanking you

    I appointed in 2002 as Jr college teacher in sc category.
    But availability of this post from 2000 as per reservation roster.
    My seniority in school should be counted from 2000 or 2002 by vertue of rules of reservation/ roster.

    Dear sunil,in such type of cases seniority cannot be assigned from the date of joining. It is required to be assigned on the basis of merit decided by commission/appointing authority.
