The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) announced the results for the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 on Monday, revealing a significant milestone for aspiring educators in the state.

This trend highlights a growing participation and success rate of women in the state's teaching recruitment process.

How to Access Scorecards and Next Steps
With the results now officially declared, the next step for all candidates is to access their individual scorecards. Chairman Anand Kishor stated that qualified candidates can check and download their scorecards from the official website of the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB).
To access the scorecard, candidates will need to use their unique login credentials provided during the registration process. This result is a crucial step for aspiring secondary and senior secondary teachers in Bihar, as it determines their eligibility for teaching positions in state-run schools.
The successful conduction of STET 2025 and the declaration of results paves the way for the next phase of teacher recruitment, aiming to strengthen the educational framework in Bihar with a new pool of eligible educators.
