The wait is almost over for lakhs of aspiring teachers in Bihar. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) is poised to announce the results for the Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 in the coming days. Candidates who appeared for this crucial eligibility examination can soon access their scorecards on the board's official portal.
Examination Details and Significance of STET 2025
The Bihar STET 2025 was conducted across the state in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format. The examination window spanned from October 14 to October 31, 2025, with test-takers appearing at various designated centres. This year witnessed massive participation, with over 4 lakh (400,000) candidates sitting for the test to prove their eligibility for teaching positions.
The exam was divided into two papers: Paper 1 for the secondary level (classes 9-10) and Paper 2 for the higher secondary level (classes 11-12). Clearing the STET is not just an academic milestone; it is a mandatory gateway. Success in this test is essential for candidates to become eligible for the upcoming Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Teacher Recruitment Exam-4 (TRE-4). The fourth phase of the state's large-scale teacher recruitment drive will commence only after the STET results are formally declared.
