Applications were supposed to start on September 1, 2026.
The Bihar Public Service Commission has delayed the start of applications.
It says administrative or procedural changes caused the delay.
A new application date has not been announced yet.
The jobs are for teachers from Classes 1 through 12.
After protests, the government agreed that the examination would happen in one phase.
The number of jobs may change because 111 music-teacher posts could be added, although the official notified total is still 32,388.
BPSC postponed TRE 4.0 applications that were scheduled to open on September 1, 2026.

The Bihar government agreed to conduct the examination in a single phase after protests over its format and negative marking.
