Post Wise Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Apply?

In our experience guiding WBPRMS aspirants, we have noticed that many candidates apply for the wrong post because they do not fully understand the eligibility criteria. To ensure your application gets accepted, here is the exact qualification required for each major role:

1. Gram Panchayat Karmee

This is the most sought-after 8th pass govt job in WB Panchayat. You simply need to have passed the 8th standard from any recognized school. There is no requirement for computer knowledge for this specific post. The age limit is 18 to 40 years.

2. Gram Panchayat Sahayak

To apply for the Sahayak post, a candidate must have passed the Madhyamik (10th Class) examination from WBBSE or its equivalent. Candidates having a minimum of 50% marks in Madhyamik are generally preferred during the interview round.

For our female readers looking for village-level jobs, we highly recommend reading about the upcoming WB Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 District Wise. It is a fantastic permanent opportunity!

3. Executive Assistant (Computer Essential)

This is a higher-level administrative post. You must hold a Bachelor’s Degree (Graduation) from a recognized university. Additionally, a Diploma in Computer Application from any recognized institute is strictly mandatory. Without the computer certificate, your application will be rejected.

ℹ️ Expert Note: OTR & Local Residency Rules

We want to alert you about a major rule change. Before applying for any specific vacancy, you must complete your One Time Registration (OTR) profile on the WBPRMS portal. Also, for Gram Panchayat-level jobs (like Karmee), candidates who are permanent residents of that specific Gram Panchayat are given first preference. Ensure your Voter ID and Aadhaar match your residential address!

Selection Process & WB Gram Panchayat Syllabus

In our experience tracking WBPRMS notifications, the selection process is strictly transparent and merit-based. You cannot secure a job simply by giving an interview. The recruitment involves two mandatory stages:

  • Stage 1: Written Examination (85 Marks)
    An OMR-based objective test. The difficulty level varies (8th standard for Karmee, 10th for Sahayak). There is negative marking for wrong answers.
  • Stage 2: Viva-Voce / Interview (15 Marks)
    Candidates clearing the written cut-off are called for a personal interview to test local awareness and rural development knowledge.

Expected WB Gram Panchayat Syllabus and Exam Pattern

To crack the written exam, you must focus on four core subjects. We recommend dividing your study time equally among these topics:

  • Bengali / Local Language: Grammar, Vocabulary, and Comprehension.
  • English Language: Basic Grammar (Class 8th/10th level).
  • Arithmetic (Maths): Percentages, Profit-Loss, Time & Work.
  • General Knowledge: Current Affairs, WB Geography, and Panchayat systems.

If you are preparing for 8th/10th pass exams, your syllabus is almost the same for other state jobs too. Don’t forget to check out the upcoming WB Group D Recruitment 2026 (12000+ Posts) and apply for that as well!
