How many total vacancies are there in BPSC TRE 4.0?

There are approximately **46,595 vacancies** across all teacher levels — Primary (~26,000), Middle (~9,000), TGT (~9,000), and PGT (~2,595).

Can I apply with CTET instead of Bihar STET?

**For Primary & Middle** — Yes, CTET Paper-I (Primary) or Paper-II (Middle) is accepted. **For TGT & PGT** — No, you must have passed the **Bihar STET** at the respective level. CTET alone is not sufficient for secondary and senior secondary posts.

What is the difference between TGT and PGT?

**TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher)** teaches Class 9-10 and requires Graduation + B.Ed. **PGT (Post Graduate Teacher)** teaches Class 11-12 and requires Post-Graduation + B.Ed. PGT has a higher salary (Rs. 32,000 vs Rs. 31,000).

Can I apply with D.El.Ed (without B.Ed)?

**Yes, for Primary level only.** D.El.Ed (2-year Diploma in Elementary Education) with 12th pass (50%) qualifies you for Primary Teacher (Class 1-5). For Middle, TGT, and PGT levels, B.Ed is mandatory.

Is there negative marking in the exam?

**Yes.** Based on the TRE 3.0 pattern, 1 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Unanswered questions carry no penalty. So attempt only those questions you are reasonably sure about.

Can I apply for multiple teacher levels?

**Yes**, if you meet the eligibility criteria for each level. For example, if you have a PG + B.Ed + STET, you can apply for both TGT and PGT. Separate applications and fees are required for each level.

What is the age limit for female candidates?

Bihar domicile female candidates get **3 years extra relaxation**: up to **40 years** for Primary/Middle and up to **43 years** for TGT/PGT (General category). Additional relaxation applies for reserved categories.

Is Bihar domicile mandatory?

Bihar domicile is **not mandatory** to apply, but domicile candidates may get certain benefits like reduced application fee (Rs. 200 for females) and age relaxation. Non-Bihar candidates can also apply if otherwise eligible.

When will the exam be held?

The written exam is scheduled for **22-27 September 2026**, as confirmed by BPSC. Different papers (Primary/Middle/TGT/PGT) will be held on different dates within this window.

What is the application fee?

**Rs. 750** for General/OBC/EWS candidates and **Rs. 200** for SC/ST/PwD and Bihar domicile female candidates. Fee can be paid online via Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, or UPI.
