The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has increased the number of posts in the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE 4.0), bringing the total vacancies to over 33,000. According to an official notice issued by the commission on September 29, 932 new posts for teachers in secondary and higher secondary schools have been added, raising the total number of positions to 33,320.

These new positions include vacancies for subjects like Bengali, Lalitpur, Dance, Maithili, Special School Teacher, Arabic, Persian, and Music for classes 9 to 10. Additionally, 493 vacancies have been added for Bengali, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, Pali, Prakrit, Arabic, and Persian subjects for classes 11 and 12.

The same notice also clarifies the qualifying marks for CTET candidates. General category candidates require 60%, Backward Class, Extremely Backward Class, and General category female candidates need 55%, while SC/ST and differently-abled candidates require 50% marks. Candidates from outside Bihar must secure the minimum marks for the general category. For those who have passed STET Paper I or Paper-II, the passing criteria applicable at that time will be valid.

STET (appearing) students have also been given the opportunity to apply for this recruitment, and they must select '2026' as the 'Year of Passing' during application. However, CTET (appearing) students have started protesting, demanding a similar opportunity. A large number of candidates gathered at the residence of Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari, demanding to be allowed to apply, similar to STET students. The commission has not yet responded to these demands.

The online application process for BPSC TRE 4.0 commenced on September 26, 2026, and the last date for application is October 25, 2026. Interested candidates can visit the official BPSC website for more information.
