BPSC TRE 4.0 Notification 2026: 45,000+ Expected Vacancy & Exam Date
BPSC TRE 4.0 Notification 2026: 45,000+ Expected Vacancy & Exam Date
The fourth round of Bihar's teacher recruitment is the most-tracked exam in the state right now. Reports point to roughly 45,000+ teaching posts across Classes 1 to 12, with the written exam pencilled in for 22 to 27 September 2026. The one thing still missing is the official notification PDF itself.
Here is the honest position as of today. The exact vacancy count, the application dates, and the fee are not yet confirmed by BPSC on its own portal. This page pulls together everything that is being reported, marks clearly what is tentative, and tells you exactly what to do while you wait. No fake precision.
Notification Status: What Is Actually Confirmed
BPSC conducts the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) in phases. TRE 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 are done. TRE 4.0 is the next phase, and it has been "expected soon" since February 2026. The draft advertisement reportedly went to the Education Department for approval, and the release kept shifting from March to April to May.
So treat every number below as tentative until the official PDF lands on bpsc.bih.nic.in or bpsc.bihar.gov.in. The moment it does, the exact vacancy, dates and fee will be locked, and this blog will be updated. My honest take: do not wait for the form to start to begin preparing. Aspirants who treat the notification gap as study time are the ones who clear in September.
BPSC TRE 4.0 2026 Overview
One caution on the vacancy number. Different portals report 44,000+, 45,198, 46,000, 46,595 and 46,882. There is no single confirmed figure yet, which is why "45,000+" is the safe way to state it. The split is roughly Education Department posts for Classes 1 to 12, plus a smaller block under the SC/ST, Backward, Extremely Backward and Minority Welfare departments.
Expected Important Dates
Eligibility Criteria (Expected)
Primary Teacher (Classes 1 to 5)
Senior Secondary (10+2) with at least 50% marks plus D.El.Ed, and a qualified CTET Paper 1 or Bihar TET certificate. B.El.Ed and D.Ed (Special Education) routes have been accepted in earlier rounds.
Middle / Upper Primary Teacher (Classes 6 to 8)
Graduation plus relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed or D.El.Ed as applicable), with CTET Paper 2 or Bihar TET (upper primary). The subject combination must match the official notification list.
Secondary Teacher (Classes 9 to 10)
Graduation in the relevant subject plus B.Ed, and the qualifying eligibility test as specified. Subject-wise eligibility tends to be strict here, so read the official subject table carefully once it is out.
Senior Secondary Teacher (Classes 11 to 12)
Post-graduation in the relevant subject with at least 50% marks plus B.Ed. PGT eligibility is the most subject-specific of the four, so confirm your exact subject is listed before paying the fee.
Age Limit
The age window and category-wise relaxation will follow Bihar government norms and the official notification. Earlier TRE rounds allowed relaxation for SC/ST, OBC/EBC, women and persons with disabilities. Confirm your exact age eligibility from the PDF rather than from any third-party page.
Expected Exam Pattern
Based on previous TRE rounds and what is being reported for 4.0, the written paper is objective. A key reported change for 2026 is no negative marking on the paper. Confirm this in the official notification before you finalise your attempt strategy.
The paper usually blends language, general studies, and the candidate's chosen subject. Exact section weightage will come from the official syllabus, so do not lock a section-wise plan off any aggregator chart.
Application Fee & How to Apply
The exact fee is not confirmed yet. In earlier TRE rounds the fee differed by category, with relaxation for reserved categories and women. Wait for the official figure.
The application is fully online. BPSC requires a One Time Registration (OTR) before you can fill the actual form, and getting OTR done early saves you a last-day crash. The likely steps:
- Complete BPSC OTR on the official portal with a valid email and mobile number.
- Read the full notification PDF and confirm your post and subject eligibility.
- Open the Apply Online link, fill personal, academic and TET/CTET details.
- Upload photo, signature and required documents in the specified format.
- Pay the fee online and download the final submitted form.
Expected Salary & Pay Level
TRE teacher posts are reported to fall in the Level 6 to Level 9 pay band depending on the post (Primary to Senior Secondary). The in-hand figure, allowances and exact pay level will be confirmed in the notification. Treat any specific rupee figure floating online as unverified for now.
Important Points to Remember
- The notification has been delayed more than once. Bookmark the official site and check it twice a week.
- "45,000+" is a reported estimate, not a locked figure. Do not quote a precise number to friends as fact yet.
- Your CTET / Bihar TET certificate must be valid. Sort this out before the form opens.
- PGT and Secondary posts are subject-strict. Confirm your subject is listed before paying.
- OTR first. Aspirants lose the last two days every cycle to OTR problems.
Preparation Strategy While You Wait
You have a clean runway till late September. Here is a realistic plan that does not depend on the form being out.
Phase 1 (now to mid-July): Lock your subject and finish the NCERT base for it, Class 6 to 12. For PRT and upper primary, build a strong child development and pedagogy base since that block decides borderline selections.
Phase 2 (mid-July to end August): Shift to Bihar-focused general studies and current affairs, plus full subject revision. Solve previous TRE 3.0 pattern papers in timed mode. The exam is 150 questions, so speed with accuracy matters even without negative marking.
Phase 3 (September): Full-length mocks only, two to three a week, each followed by a proper analysis session. The analysis matters more than the mock. If you are not fixing your weak topics after every mock, you are just burning papers.
Mock Test & Practice Strategy
For a 150-question paper with no negative marking, your job is to attempt all of it without losing accuracy. That only comes from timed practice. ExamAtlas has free TRE-style practice sets with AI analytics that break down your accuracy topic-wise, which is useful after every mock to see exactly what is leaking marks. Pair that with the free daily quiz for ten quick questions a day, perfect for revision on the move.
