BPSC has opened the Teacher Recruitment Examination Phase 4.0 application window for 32,388 posts on September 25, 2026, with the last date on October 26, 2026. The online portal is live and accepting registrations; candidates should apply only through the official site. Media reports confirm the revised schedule following earlier postponements.
Eligibility remains class-specific and hinges on both academic and teacher‑training credentials. Primary requires Senior Secondary with a Diploma in Elementary Education and CTET or Bihar TET. Middle needs CTET/TET Paper II with graduation plus teacher education. Secondary and Senior Secondary need B.Ed with Bihar STET Papers I and II respectively. Age minimum is 18 for Primary, 21 for higher levels.

The vacancy split is widely reported as 3,847 posts for Classes 1–5, 8,563 for 6–8, 3,877 for 9–10, and 16,101 for 11–12. District and category rosters are provided through linked PDFs in the notice. Basic pay commonly cited ranges from ₹25,000 to ₹32,000 by level, with allowances per Bihar rules.
Applications run from September 25 to October 26, 2026; several advisories list October 25 as the fee‑payment cut‑off. Multiple outlets report a flat ₹100 application fee, while others indicate category‑wise charges for General and reserved groups. Verify the payable amount on the payment page before final submission.
