The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has announced a final opportunity for candidates aiming to join the state's education department. The online application portal for the Assistant Education Development Officer (AEDO) 2025 recruitment has been reopened. This move comes after an unprecedented response to the initial registration phase.
Second Chance for Aspirants: Key Dates and Overwhelming Response
For those who missed the first window, the commission has activated a fresh application period from 5 December to 12 December 2025.

Officials have confirmed that all original rules remain in effect. There are no changes to the eligibility criteria, application procedure, or required documents. This reopening serves as a one-time, final chance for eligible aspirants to be part of one of Bihar's most significant recruitment campaigns this year.
