Check before applyingWe could not confirm this year's dates on an official page.

A news site reports the cycle is open until 15 February 2027. West Bengal changed government in May 2026 and the official portal could not be reached, so this may change.

Before you apply, open the official website and confirm the dates yourself. If anyone asks for money to apply, it is a fraud.
