To improve Performance, Efficiency, Accountability and Integrity of the employees of Govt. of West Bengal, Performance Appraisal is implemented. Employees of Group – ‘A’ category, are guided by Annual Confidential Report System. For other categories of employees, viz. Group – ‘B’, Group – ‘C’ and Group – ‘D’ are now guided by Open Performance Report System (twice in a year).
I guess there is an alternative system in School service.

As far as I know, assessment of performance of the employees of all ranks (including Group-A) is no more confidential now after implementation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court verdict rendered in the Devdutta case. Therefore, Annual Confidential Reports are renamed as Annual Performance Assessment Report or something like that. It’s shown to every employee after their Accepting Authority records comments on the basis of appraisal. Upon receipt of that copy the employee again puts his comments whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied with the assessment of the Accepting Authority and, returns the same to the office.
Here is the Office Memorandum issued by the Central Govt. in regard to the communication of the entries made in the Annual Performance Appraisal Report of the Central Govt. Employees, in compliance with the Supreme Court Verdict on Dev Dutt case:
