The Public Service Commission, West Bengal (WBPSC) is hiring 1,145 Sub-Surveyors for the Directorate of Land Records and Surveys in West Bengal.

Applications close on 9 November 2026 at 3:00 PM. Apply early in the window, because the online portal may slow down near the deadline.
Who Should Apply for WBPSC Sub-Surveyor 2026
This suits candidates with a Madhyamik pass and a Diploma in Survey Engineering or a Surveyor certificate with survey experience; candidates without Bengali reading and speaking ability should check the language rule, as it applies except for Nepali mother-tongue candidates.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Keep your Madhyamik certificate ready, because your age is accepted only as recorded in it.
- Obtain any SC, ST, OBC (Non Creamy Layer), EWS, PwBD, MSP or Ex-Servicemen certificate before the closing date, as claims made later are not entertained.
- Renew your OBC or EWS certificate before the exam and again at appointment, since the notice requires a current one.
- Bring an original photo ID to the exam centre, and mention its number and issuing authority in your form.
- Submit only one application, because more than one makes your candidature liable to cancellation.
