Two simultaneous inquiries- one by the district administration and another by the education department- would be made to identify the cause of the delay and fix responsibility, state Education minister Bratya Basu said.
He said that arrangements would be made to hold tests for those examinees who could not appear.
Basu told reporters that the delay in the arrival of question papers occurred in centres in Burdwan, Howrah, Hooghly, South 24-Parganas and Malda districts.
The minister said he had talked to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issue.
SSC Chairman Chittaranjan Mondal said there would be zone-wise re-examination, but the minister differed and said there would be no zone-wise re-examination.
Mondal alleged that there was a conspiracy to disrupt the recruitment process in schools.
The SSC conducted the examination to appoint teachers in secondary and higher-secondary schools.
