The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) is going up to conduct the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) soon, a crucial exam for aspiring teachers in Bihar. With demands to hold STET before BPSC TRE 4.0 to benefit 2023-25 B.Ed candidates, and the recent update restricting women’s reservation to Bihar-domiciled candidates only, this exam becomes even more significant for teaching job aspirants. Check the article below to know more about the Bihar STET Exam 2025.
Education Department Active for Bihar STET
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) is set to conduct the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) in the coming months, as part of the state’s teacher recruitment process. This exam is crucial for candidates aspiring to secure teaching positions in Bihar’s secondary schools.
- STET to Be Held Before BPSC TRE 4.0 – The Bihar government has been urged to conduct the STET exam before the BPSC Teacher Recruitment Exam (TRE) 4.0 to ensure candidates from the 2023-25 B.Ed batch get a fair opportunity.
- Reservation Policy Update – The 35% women’s reservation in teacher recruitment will now apply only to Bihar-domiciled female candidates. Women from other states will no longer be eligible for this benefit.
- Admit Card Update – BSEB has also announced the release of admit cards for the Local Body Teachers Competency Test (CTT) 2025 (III).
Why STET Before TRE 4.0?
Many candidates have requested that the STET be held first so that B.Ed students (2023-25 session) can qualify before applying for BPSC TRE 4.0. Candidates from the 2023-25 academic session currently lack STET qualification, which is mandatory for teacher appointments in Bihar. Holding STET first would allow these aspiring teachers to become eligible before applying for TRE 4.0 vacancies, ensuring a larger pool of qualified candidates for the recruitment process. This sequential approach would prevent potential disqualification of deserving candidates and maintain the integrity of Bihar’s teacher selection system, while also giving fresh graduates adequate time to prepare for both crucial examinations.
Here’s what you should keep on your radar:
- Official STET Notification – BSEB is expected to drop the exam announcement soon, likely within weeks. Keep checking their website daily.
- Application Timeline – Once notified, you’ll typically have about 30 days to submit your application. Have your documents ready.
