This guide covers the new dates, the vacancy figures and why they differ, who can apply, how to apply and what is still unknown.

| Item | Detail |

2. Old and new dates
Several outlets report that fee payment was originally due on October 25 and the form on October 26. The extension adds about a week to each. Note that fee payment closes a day before the form, so waiting until the last day is risky.
3. Vacancies: 33,320 and a figure that changed
BPSC’s notice says 33,320. Earlier coverage, including Careerindia, used 32,388, split as 3,847 for Classes 1–5, 8,563 for Classes 6–8, 3,877 for Classes 9–10 and 16,101 for Classes 11–12. Adda247 lists yet another total, 33,388. The reports reviewed do not explain the gap, so treat the level-wise numbers as indicative and check the official advertisement before choosing a post.
4. Who can apply
Requirements differ by level and, as reported, are summarized below. They follow earlier BPSC teacher recruitments, but the advertisement is the final authority.
| Level | Education (as reported) | Eligibility test | Minimum age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classes 1–5 | Senior Secondary plus D.El.Ed | CTET or BTET Paper-I | 18 |
| Classes 6–8 | Graduation with D.El.Ed or B.Ed | CTET or BTET Paper-II | 18 |
| Classes 9–10 | Graduation with B.Ed | STET Paper-I | 21 |
| Classes 11–12 | Post-graduation with B.Ed | STET Paper-II | 21 |
Maximum age, as of August 1, 2026, is 37 for unreserved men, 40 for unreserved women and BC/EBC candidates, and 42 for SC/ST candidates, according to The Daily Jagran. Percentage-of-marks requirements and relaxations vary, so read the advertisement.
5. How to apply
Visit bpsc.bihar.gov.in, open the online application section, register, fill in the form, pay the fee and keep a printout. BPSC TRE applications usually need scanned certificates, photo and signature, so keep them ready.
6. How competitive is it?
By Monday evening, October 26, more than 9 lakh applications had been received for 33,320 posts, which The Daily Jagran says is more than for any of the three earlier teacher recruitment exams. Indian Opinion reports the same 9 lakh figure. That is roughly 27 applicants per post on average, although the real ratio varies by subject and class level.
7. Checklist before you submit
- Confirm your TET paper matches the class level you choose.
- Pay the fee before November 2, not on the last day.
- Use the official site only and avoid paying anyone for “assistance”.
- Match your name and date of birth to your certificates.
- Save the confirmation page and fee receipt.
8. What is still unknown
The exam date, admit card schedule, final vacancy matrix and any further extension are not confirmed in the reports reviewed. Watch the BPSC website, since commissions can change schedules at short notice.
