# WBPSC set to announce 16,000 ICDS vacancies across West Bengal 2026-11-03T22:31:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The West Bengal Public Service Commission is expected to announce the WBPSC ICDS Recruitment 2026 for about 16,000 posts under the Integrated Child Development Services scheme. Vacancies are anticipated for Supervisor, Anganwadi Worker, Anganwadi Helper (Sahayika) and Cook across the state. Only female candidates are eligible. Eligibility varies by post: Helper and Cook need Class 8, while the Supervisor role requires a Bachelor degree. Age limits range from 18 to 35 years for Helper and Cook, and 18 to 39 for Supervisor. Candidates must be residents of the local area and able to read and write Bengali. The official notification, detailing the application window, vacancy distribution and form fill-up dates, has not been released yet. Interested candidates are advised to monitor psc.wb.gov.in for updates. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The WBPSC has yet to release the official notification, leaving 16,000 prospective recruits in a holding pattern across at least four job categories. Eligibility varies sharply by post, with Supervisor requiring a bachelor degree but Helper only Class 8, plus local residency and Bengali literacy for most. Female-only eligibility means the recruitment cycle directly affects women in West Bengal, but the lack of a confirmed application window, vacancy distribution per post, and form fill-up dates means candidates cannot move forward. The next concrete step is the publication of the official notification on psc.wb.gov.in, which will unlock the online application link and all schedule details. ## Coverage - adda247.com Straight recruitment notice, no government assessment or criticism This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
