BPSC TRE 4.0 Notification 2026: 32,388 Teacher Vacancies

32,388 posts under the Bihar Education Department: 3,847 for Classes 1-5, 8,563 for Classes 6-8, 3,877 for Classes 9-10 and 16,101 for Classes 11-12.

Classes 11-12 have the largest share with 16,101 posts, nearly half of the total TRE-4 vacancies.

Chemistry has 3,695 vacancies, followed by major openings such as Physics, English, Botany and Psychology in the advertised Higher Secondary table.

No. The older BPSC calendar carried a tentative figure of 46,595. The final detailed Advertisement No. 14/2026 dated 18 August 2026 advertises 32,388 posts. Candidates should use the final advertisement figures for the current recruitment.

No. TRE-4 introduces a Preliminary Examination followed by a Main Examination. Preliminary qualification is required before proceeding to the mains under the prescribed BPSC process.

The recruitment flow is Preliminary Exam -> Main Exam -> Document Scrutiny -> Merit and Recommendation. There is no interview.

Yes. The advertisement specifies 1/3 mark deduction for wrong answers in both prelims and mains. The five-option A-E response system also applies.

Each objective question has five options. If you do not want to attempt a question, you must mark Option E. Leaving all options blank is treated under the notification's penalty rule and attracts the stated 1/3-mark deduction.

The preliminary General Studies paper carries 150 questions for 150 marks, with one mark per question and negative marking as notified.

The preliminary exam table provides a duration of 2 hours.

The notification lists 40% for General, 36.5% for BC, 34% for EBC and 32% for SC/ST/Women/PwD candidates, subject to the Commission's recruitment rules and cut-off process.

The notification states that candidates may be shortlisted for the main examination in a range of roughly 2 to 10 times the reserved vacancies, based on preliminary marks/category cut-off and the prescribed tie-at-cut-off rule.

The paper has Language 30 marks + General Studies 120 marks = 150 marks. The language part is qualifying, while the General Studies part forms the merit base for this level.

For these levels, the main paper is Language 30 + General Studies 40 + Concerned Subject 80 = 150 marks. Merit is based on Part II and Part III, subject to the notified qualifying conditions.

Yes. Part I combines English with Hindi/Urdu/Bangla practical language knowledge, and the notification requires at least 30% in the language part.

The advertisement contains an internal inconsistency: level-wise main-exam tables show 2 hours 30 minutes, while a later general instruction says 2 hours. Candidates should follow the final BPSC exam schedule, admit card or corrigendum for the controlling duration.

No. The notification states that re-evaluation is not permitted. Candidates should therefore pay close attention to any answer-key objection window announced by BPSC.

The preliminary General Studies syllabus includes General Knowledge, History of India and Bihar, Geography and Bihar geography/river systems, Indian Polity, Indian Economy, current events, Indian National Movement, Bihar's role in the movement and General Mental Ability.

The 80-mark concerned-subject section is especially important because it is a major part of merit and also becomes the first tie-break factor for Classes 6-8, 9-10 and 11-12.

For Classes 1-5, merit is based on Part II General Studies marks. The language section is qualifying and is used in tie handling as prescribed in the notification.

For Classes 6-8, 9-10 and 11-12, merit is based on Part II General Studies + Part III Concerned Subject.

The first tie-break is higher marks in Part III, the concerned subject. The next tie-break uses Part I language marks, followed by the stated alphabetical-order rule if the tie still remains.

The minimum age is 18 years, calculated on 01.08.2026.

The minimum age is 21 years, calculated on 01.08.2026.

The page reflects the notification's maximum limits of 37 years for Unreserved male, 40 years for Unreserved female and BC/EBC candidates, and 42 years for SC/ST and transgender candidates, with additional notified relaxation provisions where applicable. The maximum-age reference date is 01.08.2024.

The notification provides up to 10 years of relaxation in the applicable maximum age for eligible PwD candidates, subject to the prescribed rules and certificate.

For relevant STET-based posts, candidates who have completed the required educational/training qualification and are appearing in STET 2026 may apply under the notification's condition, provided they pass STET 2026 before the preliminary examination as prescribed.

If you satisfy the notified eligibility for more than one class level, you may apply accordingly. The notification charges the application fee separately for each class level selected.

The application fee is ₹100 per class level, plus applicable bank/payment charges. A separate ₹200 biometric fee applies under the notification when Aadhaar number is not used in the prescribed identity process.

Yes. Candidates must complete One-Time Registration (OTR) on the BPSC online portal and should use the same OTR profile rather than creating multiple registrations.

The notification allows preferences for up to 38 districts. If you list only selected districts and do not obtain a vacancy there, unlisted districts are not automatically treated as your preferences.

No. The advertisement expressly states that no interview will be conducted.

The advertised initial basic pay is ₹25,000 plus admissible state allowances.

The advertised initial basic pay is ₹28,000 plus admissible state allowances.

The advertised initial basic pay is ₹31,000 for Classes 9-10 and ₹32,000 for Classes 11-12, plus admissible state allowances.

Keep date-of-birth proof, relevant academic marksheets/certificates, teacher-training qualification, CTET/BTET/STET proof, subject qualification documents and all reservation/domicile/PwD/EWS/service certificates applicable to your claim ready before final submission.

Yes. Reservation benefits under Bihar state recruitment rules depend on the prescribed Bihar-resident/category documentation. Candidates should not assume that an out-of-state category certificate automatically receives the same reservation treatment.

TRE-4 moves from the earlier one-stage style to a Prelims + Mains structure and introduces 1/3 negative marking with the A-E response rule. This makes accuracy and disciplined question selection much more important.

The final 18 August advertisement does not provide a workable final exam date in the application timeline. Older 22-27 September dates belong to an earlier calendar carrying 46,595 tentative vacancies and conflict with applications continuing through 30 September. Candidates should wait for the revised BPSC schedule.

Use the original BPSC TRE-4 detailed notification, the BPSC official website and the BPSC online application portal. Any later corrigendum, revised schedule or subject requisition issued by BPSC should be treated as controlling.
