The West Bengal State Eligibility Test (WBSET) is conducted by the West Bengal College Service Commission (WBCSC) to assess candidates’ eligibility for Assistant Professor (or equivalent teaching roles) in West Bengal colleges. Paper I—Teaching & Research Aptitude focuses on core aptitude areas such as teaching, research, communication, reasoning, and technology awareness, helping you build a strong foundation for your academic career.
This practice test simulates the Preliminary Examination with 50 questions, 100 total marks, and 120 minutes. There is no negative marking, so you can attempt confidently and improve accuracy through targeted practice.

Practice section-wise first: aim to master comprehension, communication, and ICT concepts before moving to mixed reasoning and data interpretation sets. Solve daily timed mini-tests to improve speed and accuracy within 120 minutes. Use error logs to revisit frequently missed topics (especially reasoning and interpretation). Since there is no negative marking, focus on attempting all questions and refining your elimination skills.
