Big news for candidates preparing to become government teachers in Bihar. The number of vacancies in the fourth phase of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) teacher recruitment examination, TRE-4.0, has been increased to 33,320. Earlier, recruitment was to be done for 32,388 posts, but 932 additional posts have been added at the secondary and higher secondary levels. Before applying, candidates should understand the domicile policy, reservation rules, educational qualifications, and the requirements for essential certificates.

The Bihar government has implemented a domicile policy for teacher appointments in TRE-4 to prioritize state residents. Under this policy, provisions related to reservation and preference have been made for residents of the state. According to published reports, arrangements have been made to benefit local candidates from Bihar for approximately 84.4 percent of the posts, while opportunities for candidates from other states are limited. However, the actual benefit of eligibility and reservation will depend on the relevant rules and the validity of the certificates.

Candidates from other states should carefully read the residence, reservation, and eligibility provisions given in the advertisement before applying. Different rules related to reservation and eligibility may apply to candidates from outside Bihar. Mere acceptance of an application does not mean that the candidate will also be eligible for the benefits specified for a Bihar resident. Domicile-related documents are also important for married female candidates. Recent reports suggest that women who have married into Bihar from outside the state may have to submit documents related to their parents' residence instead of their husband's to avail reservation benefits. Such candidates should confirm the relevant official instructions before applying.

The revised vacancies include an increase of 493 posts for classes 9th and 10th, and 439 posts for classes 11th and 12th. This brings the total increase to 932 posts, and the total number of vacancies to 33,320. This recruitment is for teacher posts from primary to higher secondary levels. The last date for online application for TRE-4.0 is October 26, 2026. Candidates should check the prescribed educational qualifications, teacher eligibility test conditions, age limit, and reservation certificates according to their class and subject. For application, refer to the advertisement and the revised list of vacancies available on the official BPSC website .
