How the final vacancy total reached 33,320
The original BPSC notice for Advertisement No. 45/2026 invited applications for 32,388 school-teacher posts. On 29 September 2026, the Commission issued an official notice-cum-corrigendum based on revised supplementary requisitions received through the General Administration Department. The corrigendum added 493 vacancies for secondary-school teachers and 439 vacancies for higher-secondary-school teachers.
With those additions, the official total became 33,320. The additional vacancies include subjects and categories such as Bangla, Lalit Kala, Dance, Maithili, Special School Teacher, Arabic, Persian, Music, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Pali and Prakrit, as listed in the official corrigendum. District-wise, subject-wise and category-wise roster details are to be checked in the tables published by BPSC.
Candidates should use the corrigendum together with the main Advertisement 45/2026. A vacancy figure copied from an older article may show 32,388 and may not include the later additions. The final figure for this application cycle is 33,320 based on the Commission’s 29 September notice.
BPSC TRE 4.0 application dates and fee
The official application-start notice lists 25 September 2026 as the date for beginning payment and online application. The last date for payment and submission is 26 October 2026. Candidates should not wait until the closing date because registration, document entry, fee payment and final submission are separate steps on many recruitment portals.
The recruitment update reports an application fee of ₹100 for all categories. Applicants should check the live payment page and the detailed advertisement before completing payment, especially if the portal displays a service charge or additional transaction information. Save the payment reference and final application number after submission.
Use only the official BPSC online application portal. The Commission’s website and the portal should be the first places to check for a correction, extension, technical announcement or revised instruction.
Eligibility by teaching level
TRE 4.0 includes teaching levels from primary classes through higher secondary classes. The qualification is not identical for every post. For primary teaching, the detailed recruitment information includes routes involving a bachelor’s degree with B.Ed, a degree with a Diploma in Elementary Education, senior-secondary qualification with the required elementary-education diploma, a four-year integrated teaching degree or other notified combinations. CTET Paper I or BTET Paper I qualification is also relevant to the primary level.
For middle-school and secondary-level posts, the requirements generally involve a relevant graduation or postgraduate qualification together with B.Ed, an approved integrated teaching degree or another route specified for the subject. Candidates must also satisfy the relevant teacher-eligibility examination requirement. For higher-secondary posts, a postgraduate qualification in the concerned subject, a teaching qualification and STET Paper II or another notified requirement may apply.
These are broad routes, not a substitute for the official subject-wise eligibility table. Before applying, match the subject, class level, marks, teaching qualification and eligibility-test certificate with the exact post. A candidate who selects an incorrect level or subject may face rejection during scrutiny even if the general qualification appears similar.
Age limit and date of calculation
The source recruitment details calculate age as on 1 August 2026. The minimum age is reported as 18 years for Class 1–5 and Class 6–8 teacher posts, and 21 years for Class 9–10 and Class 11–12 posts. The upper age depends on category and gender under the Bihar rules. The listed limits include 37 years for unreserved male candidates, 40 years for unreserved female candidates and BC/EBC candidates, and 42 years for SC/ST candidates, subject to the detailed advertisement and applicable relaxations.
Age relaxation should not be assumed without checking the official conditions. Candidates from outside Bihar may be treated differently for reservation or category benefits, and the corrigendum also clarifies teacher-eligibility qualifying marks for certain groups. Enter the date of birth exactly as it appears on the accepted document.
Teacher eligibility-test clarification
The official corrigendum clarifies qualifying marks in the teacher-eligibility context. It refers to the applicable BTET provisions for CTET-qualified candidates, including different minimum percentages for general candidates, reserved categories and eligible women candidates. It also states that STET Paper I and Paper II candidates are governed by the qualifying marks prescribed for the relevant Bihar teacher-eligibility examination.
Because eligibility depends on the teaching level and subject, applicants should read the full notification instead of applying only from a vacancy headline. Keep the CTET, BTET or STET certificate and marks details ready while filling the form. If a certificate contains a spelling or date mismatch, resolve the issue through the relevant issuing authority before document verification where possible.
How to apply for BPSC TRE 4.0

Selection process and examination status
The recruitment information describes a written examination followed by merit preparation and document verification. The exact paper structure, subject distribution, qualifying conditions and examination schedule must be taken from the detailed BPSC advertisement and later notices. The verified application notices do not announce an examination date, so candidates should not rely on a date circulated through social media or coaching groups.
While waiting for the schedule, prepare the subject content for the selected teaching level, revise Bihar and national general knowledge where prescribed, practise objective questions and organise certificates. The admit card will contain the reporting time, centre, identity requirements and prohibited items. Keep checking the BPSC website after submitting the form.
Documents to keep ready
Applicants should keep a recent photograph, signature, identity document, educational marksheets, degree or diploma certificates, B.Ed or elementary-education qualification, CTET/BTET/STET certificate, category certificate where applicable, domicile-related documents and fee receipt available. The exact upload list depends on the online form and notification.
Use a consistent name and date of birth across the application and supporting documents. If the portal requests a certificate issued by a particular authority or within a particular validity period, follow that instruction. Document verification is not a formality: an application can be cancelled if a candidate cannot establish the claimed qualification or category.
