    Summary: The Calcutta High Court allowed petitioner Simpa Patra Thandar to participate in the Special Education Teachers interview process based on her TET 2012 qualification. The petitioner had initially failed TET 2012 but qualified after the court awarded bonus marks for a wrong question; however, the merit list was not published then, prompting her to retake TET 2025 (which she failed). After the TET 2012 merit list was finally published on January 16, 2026, the West Bengal Board of Primary Education agreed to allow her interview participation on March 25, 2026, and the court disposed of the petition accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
