Imagine waiting years for your dream government job – only to face endless delays. This is exactly what happened to thousands of Bihar teacher candidates who recently flooded Patna’s streets in protest. Their frustration highlights why BPSC’s new exam calendar brings much-needed clarity to job seekers across the state.
Teacher Aspirants Protest STET Delays
Hundreds of teaching job candidates gathered at Patna College, Gandhi Maidan, and Dak Bungalow Crossing last week. Police had to control the crowds as emotions ran high. Their main demand? Conduct the Bihar State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) before TRE-4 recruitment begins.
Many protesters shared how the STET delay blocks their path to government teaching jobs. One candidate told us: “We’ve prepared for years, but without STET, we can’t even apply for teaching positions.”
The education department has set September 27 as the last date for STET applications. Exams will run from October 12-31, 2025, with results expected by November 16. But candidates worry further delays could affect their career plans.
BPSC 2025-26 Exam Calendar Released
Amid this tension, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) dropped important news. They’ve published their complete exam schedule for 2025-26. This calendar covers over 12,000 government posts across different departments.

The clock is ticking with September 27 as the last application date. Double-check your documents and apply early to avoid last-minute website crashes. Focus your studies on Bihar’s specific school curriculum and teaching methods.
For Other BPSC Exams
Use the calendar to make a study plan. If you’re aiming for multiple exams, note these important dates
Understand the Exam Patterns
BPSC exams vary by post. Teacher exams focus on subject knowledge, while administrative posts test general awareness. Always check the latest syllabus – BPSC sometimes updates exam patterns without warning. For example:
| Exam Type | Total Marks | Key Subjects |
|---|---|---|
| Teaching Posts | 150 | Subject expertise + Teaching methods |
| Administrative Posts | 450 | General Studies + Optional Subject |
| Technical Posts | 300 | Technical knowledge + Bihar-specific laws |
Avoid These 5 Common Application Mistakes
Every year, thousands get rejected for simple errors:
- Photo size issues: Use 200KB passport photos with white background
- Signature mismatch: Your digital signature must match exam center copy
- Wrong caste certificates: SC/ST/OBC certificates must be latest format
- Missed deadlines: BPSC never extends application dates – submit 3 days early
- Payment failures: Complete transaction and save receipt PDF for 6 months
Focus Areas for High-Scoring Topics
Based on previous toppers’ advice:
- Current Bihar affairs: Follow Bihar Government Updates daily
- Landmark schemes: Know every detail of Bihar’s “Jal Jeevan Hariyali” mission
- Historical figures: Study contributions of Bihar-born leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan
- Geography: Map-based questions about rivers and districts appear every year
“I scored rank 12 by practicing 10-year question papers weekly.” – Ritu Sharma, BPSC 68th Topper
Balancing Multiple Exam Preparations
With exams clustered between July 2025-January 2026, try this strategy:
- Monday-Wednesday: Core subject study (6 hrs)
- Thursday: Current affairs & mock tests
- Friday: Weak topic revision
- Weekends: Full-length practice exams
Pro Tip: Use free study materials from Bihar’s e-library instead of expensive coaching notes.
