The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) is all set to conduct the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025, which is a mandatory exam for candidates aspiring to become secondary and higher secondary school teachers in Bihar. The exam will be organized for various subjects across the state, and with the green signal from the Education Department, the preparations are now underway. The STET serves as a vital qualification for teaching Classes 9 to 12 and ensures only capable and eligible individuals enter the teaching profession.
BSEB Will Soon Announce Bihar STET Exam 2025
In a recent development, the Education Department of Bihar has granted official approval to the BSEB to organize the 4th edition of the Bihar STET exam. The Board will soon release a detailed schedule, which will include the start and end dates of the application process, exam dates, and other related deadlines.
The STET 2025 is likely to be held after the third phase of the competency test for contractual teachers. This timing ensures there is no administrative overlap, allowing candidates to prepare adequately for the exam. The BSEB had earlier approached the Education Department for guidance on conducting the next STET, and with the necessary approvals now in place, the official notification is expected soon. The previous STET examinations were conducted in the years 2011, 2019, and 2023, making this the fourth such examination to be held in the state.
Guidelines Released by Education Department
The Education Department has not only approved the conduct of the STET 2025 but also released specific guidelines to ensure the smooth organization of the exam. These guidelines aim to streamline the planning and execution process and emphasize that the exam should be conducted without any delay.
The department stressed the importance of conducting the STET promptly so that there is an adequate pool of qualified candidates for the upcoming 4th phase of teacher recruitment to be carried out by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). The goal is to maintain high teaching standards in the state’s schools by ensuring that all newly recruited teachers have passed the STET.
