Latest Update: Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has extended the online application deadline for the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2026 to 15 September 2026. Applications originally opened on 17 August 2026. The examination is conducted for teacher eligibility at the Secondary level through Paper I and Higher Secondary level through Paper II. STET is an eligibility examination, not a direct recruitment for a fixed number of teacher vacancies.
Bihar STET 2026 Overview
Bihar STET determines teacher eligibility for candidates seeking to teach at the secondary and higher secondary levels in Bihar. The recruitment information identifies the examination under Advertisement/Notification No. P.R. 183/2026. Paper I is associated with Secondary level teaching and Paper II with Higher Secondary level teaching. Candidates who satisfy the educational requirements for both levels may need to check the notification regarding applying for one paper or both papers.
Important Dates
- Notification: 14 August 2026
- Online Application Start: 17 August 2026
- Original Last Date: 31 August 2026
- Extended Last Date: 15 September 2026
- Last Date for Fee Payment: 15 September 2026
- Examination Date: To be announced by BSEB
- Admit Card: To be announced
STET Is Not a Direct Vacancy Recruitment
Candidates should understand the distinction between STET and a teacher recruitment examination. STET determines whether a candidate meets the teacher-eligibility standard for the relevant level/subject. Passing STET does not itself appoint the candidate as a teacher. When BPSC or another competent authority announces teacher recruitment, candidates must separately apply and satisfy the conditions of that recruitment.
Paper I and Paper II
- Paper I: Intended for Secondary level, generally Classes 9–10.
- Paper II: Intended for Higher Secondary level, generally Classes 11–12.
The subject chosen in STET should correspond to the candidate's academic and professional qualification as prescribed in the notification. Candidates should not select a paper merely because they have studied the subject casually or as an optional component; the subject-wise eligibility table should be followed.
Educational Qualification
For Paper I, current reporting on the 2026 notification states that candidates generally require graduation in the relevant subject with the prescribed marks together with B.Ed. or another accepted teacher-training qualification. Paper II generally requires the prescribed postgraduate qualification in the relevant subject together with the required teacher-training qualification, subject to subject-specific exceptions and equivalence provisions in the notification.
Because STET contains many subjects and qualification combinations, candidates should always use the official subject-wise eligibility table rather than relying on a single generic qualification statement.
Age Limit
Current recruitment summaries report a minimum age of 21 years. The maximum age and category-wise relaxation depend on the candidate's category and the rules stated in the notification. Women and reserved-category candidates may receive relaxation according to Bihar Government provisions. Candidates should verify the exact age-reckoning date before applying.
Application Fee
The reported fee structure is:
- General / BC / EBC / EWS – One Paper: ₹960
- General / BC / EBC / EWS – Both Papers: ₹1,440
- SC / ST / PwD – One Paper: ₹760
- SC / ST / PwD – Both Papers: ₹1,140
Candidates should confirm the fee table on the active STET application portal before payment. Do not send payment to an individual or unofficial website.
Exam Pattern
Current notification-based reporting describes Bihar STET 2026 as a Computer Based Test (CBT). Each paper is reported to contain 150 questions for 150 marks with a duration of 2 hours 30 minutes. No negative marking is reported for the examination. Candidates should still check the official notification/syllabus for the exact subject section, teaching-aptitude component and any changes made by BSEB.
Why Subject Selection Matters
The STET certificate is connected to the paper and subject for which the candidate qualifies. An incorrect subject selection can create difficulty in a future teacher recruitment. Therefore, match the STET subject with your graduation/post-graduation subject, teacher-training qualification and the subject combination accepted under the notification before paying the examination fee.
