BPSC TRE 4.0 Applications Likely September 21 for 32,388 Posts
Bihar is preparing to hire thousands of government school teachers.
The recruitment test is called TRE 4.0.
The Bihar Public Service Commission says applications will likely open on September 21, 2026.
The earlier plan was to open applications on September 1, but it was postponed for changes to the process.
There are 32,388 teacher jobs in primary, middle, secondary and higher secondary schools.
People will apply on the BPSC website and pay Rs 100.
They will also enter their information and upload documents.
The test will be followed by checking candidates’ documents.
Some applicants want people who passed CTET to be allowed to apply, but the current notice names STET-qualified candidates as eligible.
BPSC is likely to begin TRE 4.0 applications on September 21, 2026, after revising its advertisement and online application process.
The recruitment drive covers 32,388 school-teacher vacancies across primary, middle, secondary and higher secondary levels in Bihar.
Applications were postponed from the earlier September 1 schedule because of procedural changes.
Candidates will apply through bpsc.bihar.gov.in, complete registration, provide details, upload documents and pay a Rs 100 fee.
Aspirants are demanding that Central Teacher Eligibility Test-qualified candidates be allowed to apply, as Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test-qualified candidates currently can.
