If you have been putting off your BPSC TRE 4.0 application, the clock has almost run out. The Bihar Public Service Commission closes applications for its fourth phase of school teacher recruitment tomorrow, October 26, 2026, and this is one of the largest teaching recruitment drives Bihar has run, with 33,320 posts on offer across Classes 1 to 12.
The window opened on September 25, and the commission has already revised the vacancy count once, adding 932 posts for secondary and higher secondary teachers. With the deadline now a day away, candidates who are still midway through their forms should finish and submit them today rather than risk a last-hour server rush.
33,320 posts, from primary to higher secondary
The recruitment covers school teacher posts in government schools under the Bihar Education Department, along with posts in the SC and ST Welfare and Backward and Extremely Backward Classes Welfare departments. The 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
- Higher secondary teacher (Classes 11 to 12): 16,540 posts
The higher secondary segment alone accounts for nearly half the vacancies, which is good news for postgraduate candidates. The commission has said the vacancy count may still change, but the October 26 deadline is fixed in the current schedule.
Who can apply
Eligibility depends on the level you are applying for, and the notification is strict about the combination of academic qualification and teacher eligibility test:
- Primary: Class 12 with 50 percent marks plus a two-year D.El.Ed or equivalent, along with a qualified CTET or Bihar TET Paper I.
- Middle school: A bachelor’s degree in the relevant subject with D.El.Ed or B.Ed, plus CTET or Bihar TET Paper II.
- Secondary: Graduation or postgraduation in the concerned subject with B.Ed, plus STET Paper I.
- Higher secondary: Postgraduation in the concerned subject with B.Ed, plus STET Paper II.
On qualifying marks, the commission has clarified that CTET candidates need 60 percent for the general category, 55 percent for backward class, extremely backward class and women candidates of the general category, and 50 percent for SC, ST and disabled candidates. For STET-qualified candidates, the pass marks fixed by the Bihar School Examination Board at the time apply. Read the subject-wise conditions in the notification carefully, because a degree alone does not establish eligibility.
Fee, OTR and how to apply
The application fee is Rs 100, payable online through debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. Applications run through the BPSC online portal, and one-time registration (OTR) is the first step:
- Visit the official BPSC portal at bpsc.bihar.gov.in and complete your one-time registration.
- Log in, select the TRE 4.0 recruitment link and fill in your personal and educational details.
- Upload scanned copies of your photograph, signature and required certificates.
- Pay the fee online, submit the form and save a printout of the confirmation page.
Do not leave the payment for the final hours. Fee and form submission both sit inside the same closing window, and heavy traffic on the last day is a regular feature of drives this size. If any detail in your form is wrong, check the notification for the correction process rather than submitting a second application.
What happens after you apply
Selection is through an objective written examination followed by document verification. The commission has not yet announced the exam date for TRE 4.0, so candidates should keep an eye on the BPSC portal after the application window closes. The written test is the deciding stage, which means the weeks after October 26 are best spent on subject revision and previous years papers rather than on fresh paperwork.
For thousands of aspirants, this drive is the main route into a government teaching job in Bihar this year. The posts span every school level, the fee is modest, and the window is still open, but only just. If you are eligible and have been meaning to apply, tomorrow is the last day to do it.
