Applications were originally scheduled to open today, September 1, 2026, but registration will not commence on the planned date. The Commission attributed the postponement to procedural changes and stated that new dates for the application process would be announced soon. It is worth noting that 32,388 teachers are to be recruited for schools in Bihar through the BPSC TRE 4.0 process.

The BPSC had previously announced that the application process for TRE 4.0 would begin today, September 1. However, the Commission has now issued a notice postponing the dates. Furthermore, no new dates have been announced so far.

Concerns Raised Regarding the Examination Process
Teacher aspirants in Bihar have previously raised various demands concerning the TRE 4.0 process. Candidates had voiced objections regarding the exam pattern, negative marking, and the recruitment procedure. A key demand was for the examination to be conducted in a single phase. Following discussions with the candidates, the Bihar government agreed to hold TRE 4.0 in a single phase. Now, with the postponement of the application process, candidates must await a new schedule to know the revised recruitment date.
Number of Vacancies May Increase
Currently, the BPSC has announced 32,388 vacancies for TRE 4.0. However, there is a possibility that the number of vacancies may change.
