If you have been putting off your BPSC TRE 4.0 application, today is the day to act. The Bihar Public Service Commission closes the fee payment window for the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) 4.0 today, 2 November 2026. Candidates who have not paid the Rs 100 application fee must complete the payment today, because the form itself can only be submitted by tomorrow, 3 November 2026.
This is one of the biggest teacher recruitment drives Bihar has run in recent years. Under Advertisement No. 15/2026, a total of 33,320 school teacher posts are on offer across government schools in the state, from primary classes right up to senior secondary level. The commission has already extended the schedule once, moving the original late October deadlines to the first week of November, and there is no indication of a further extension.
Revised schedule at a glance
The two deadlines that matter this week are different, and mixing them up is the easiest mistake to make. Fee payment and form submission close on separate days:
- Last date for fee payment: 2 November 2026 (today)
- Last date to submit the online application: 3 November 2026
- Applications opened: 25 September 2026
- Notification issued: 18 August 2026
- Examination date: to be announced separately by BPSC
In practice, a candidate who pays today still gets tomorrow to finish the form, but one who waits until tomorrow to pay will be too late.
33,320 posts, from primary to senior secondary
The recruitment covers teacher posts in government schools under the Bihar Education Department, along with posts in allied welfare departments. The drive was first announced with 32,388 vacancies, and the count was later raised by 932 posts, with 493 extra secondary posts and 439 extra higher secondary posts. The revised level-wise breakup is:
- Primary teacher (Classes 1 to 5): 3,847 posts
- Middle school teacher (Classes 6 to 8): 8,563 posts
- Secondary teacher (Classes 9 to 10): 4,370 posts
- Senior secondary teacher (Classes 11 to 12): 16,540 posts
Senior secondary posts alone account for nearly half of all vacancies, which is good news for postgraduate candidates. Middle school is the next largest segment, with more than 8,500 openings.
Who can apply
Eligibility depends on the level applied for, and candidates should check the post-wise conditions in the detailed notification before paying the fee:
- Primary (Classes 1 to 5): Class 12 pass with D.Ed, JBT or B.El.Ed, plus CTET or BTET Paper I
- Middle (Classes 6 to 8): Graduation with B.Ed or B.El.Ed, plus CTET or BTET Paper II
- Secondary (Classes 9 to 10): Graduation with B.Ed or B.El.Ed, plus STET Paper I

The minimum age is 18 years for primary and middle school posts and 21 years for secondary and senior secondary posts. The maximum age is 37 years, with relaxations applicable as per government rules for reserved categories.
Fee, selection and what happens next
The application fee is Rs 100 for candidates of all categories, including General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST and PwD, and it must be paid online through the official portal. Selection will be through a written examination, followed by document verification and a medical examination. BPSC has not yet announced the examination date, and candidates should watch the official portal for the schedule.
Applications are accepted only through the official BPSC online portal. Candidates need to complete one-time registration, fill in their educational details, upload the required certificates, photograph and signature, pay the fee, and then submit the form.
How to apply before the deadlines
- Visit the official BPSC online application portal and complete one-time registration with valid personal details, email ID and mobile number.
- Log in, select the TRE 4.0 recruitment application, and enter your educational qualifications and other required information.
- Upload the required certificates, photograph and signature in the prescribed format.
- Pay the Rs 100 application fee online today, 2 November 2026, and confirm the payment is successful.
- Complete and submit the application form by 3 November 2026, then download and save a copy.
With only hours left for fee payment, do not leave either step to the last minute. Portals for drives of this size often slow down near the deadline, and a failed payment today cannot be fixed tomorrow. Pay now, submit tomorrow at the latest, and double check that both steps show as complete.
