BPSC TRE 4.0 2026: 33,320 Teacher Posts (Revised), Apply by 26 October

Bihar Public Service Commission's Teacher Recruitment Examination 4.0 now has 33,320 school teacher posts. That is up from the 32,388 printed in advertisement 15/2026. A later BPSC notice added 932 posts, all for classes 9 to 12. The online form closes on 26 October 2026, and the fee must be paid by 25 October.

Advertisement 15/2026, dated 22 September 2026, also cancels advertisement 14/2026 of 18 August 2026. Apply against 15/2026 only.

Revised posts by class

The posts are non-gazetted. The pay shown is starting basic pay, and allowances fixed by the Bihar government are added on top.

Higher secondary posts are now about half of the total, at 16,540 of 33,320. Primary posts are just 3,847, or about 12 percent. If you hold a postgraduate degree with B.Ed and the STET for a classes 11 to 12 subject, that is where most of the seats are.

Where the 932 new posts went

Advertisement 15/2026 said some language subjects for classes 9 to 12 would be notified once the Education Department sent its requisition. The revised notice fills that gap. According to news reports, most of the additions are languages, with some non-language posts such as music, fine arts, dance and special school teachers.

Reports of the notice, including the report's, list the added subjects as follows:

• Classes 9 to 10 (493 posts): Bengali, Maithili, Arabic, Persian, Music, Fine Arts, Dance and special school teacher posts.
• Classes 11 to 12 (439 posts): Bengali, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, Pali, Prakrit, Arabic and Persian.

Read the subject-wise and category-wise rows in the revised notice on bpsc.bihar.gov.in before you choose. Each row has its own reservation split and backlog.

If you have already applied: BPSC has not asked anyone to apply again. The new posts are added to the same advertisement. If you qualify for one of the added subjects but did not choose it, check on the portal whether your form is still editable. The Commission's instructions say entries are not corrected after final submission.

TRE 4.0 dates: fee by 25 October, form by 26 October

The fee closes a day before the form. If your payment fails on 25 October, you cannot fix it on 26 October. Pay at least two days early.

Who can apply

You must be a citizen of India. The degree, the teacher-training course and the TET paper all depend on the class.

A training qualification counts only if the National Council for Teacher Education recognises it, unless the advertisement names an exception. Every certificate you rely on, including the TET or STET result, must have been issued by 26 October 2026.

Age limits on 1 August 2026

Age is counted as on 1 August 2026.

Other relaxations, including those for persons with disability and certain government teachers, are printed in clause 3 of the advertisement.

Rs 100 fee and Rs 200 biometric charge

Every candidate pays Rs 100, plus the bank's charge. If you do not enter an Aadhaar number as your identity on the form, you pay a further Rs 200 as a biometric fee. The fee is not refunded.

How to apply

1. Open bpsc.bihar.gov.in and read advertisement 15/2026, the revised vacancy notice and the application instructions.
2. Complete One Time Registration at bpsconline.bihar.gov.in. One candidate, one OTR. Check the spelling of your name, your parents' names, gender, address and date of birth.
3. Apply against advertisement 15/2026. For a secondary post, enter the STET result card number and the BSEB unique ID where the form asks for them. For a primary or middle post, enter your CTET certificate details.
4. Pay Rs 100 before you submit. Add Rs 200 if you are not using an Aadhaar number as identity.
5. Do not post a printout to the Commission office.

A form with a false certificate, or one where the certificate does not match the claim, is rejected. The Commission does not correct entries after submission and does not refund the fee.

Before 26 October: a checklist

• Your OTR details match your Class 10 certificate exactly.
• The subject row you picked lists your degree subject, the percentage it asks for, and your training course.
• Your CTET or STET certificate is dated on or before 26 October 2026.
• Your caste or category certificate is in the format and date window the advertisement asks for.
• The fee shows as paid on the portal by 25 October.
• You have downloaded a copy of the submitted form.

Selection and the paper

Selection is by one objective written examination. There is no interview. The Commission holds the exam and publishes the result. Districts are allotted by the Education Department or the education authority, not by the Commission. The exam may be held in more than one shift.

Every paper has 150 questions for 150 marks in 2 hours 30 minutes, with five options per question, A to E.

• A wrong answer costs one third of a mark.
• A question left with no option marked also costs one third of a mark.
• Option E means "I do not want to answer" and costs nothing.

Most papers do not penalise a blank answer. This one does, so make a habit of marking E.

If you apply for more than one class, the Commission follows the preference order printed in the advertisement. You are considered for the next preference only if the earlier one is not successful.

The full question split, the qualifying marks by category and the topic list are on the TRE 4.0 syllabus page. A 30-question general studies set with the option E rule is on the practice page.
