Bihar STET 2026 Revised Exam Date and Admit Card

The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has rescheduled the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2026 paper that was due to take place on November 11. Candidates assigned to that exam date should plan to sit the test on November 22 and download a revised admit card from November 12.

This is an exam-schedule notice, not a new recruitment application announcement. It does not provide a vacancy count, application dates or a new application process. The STET is being conducted as a computer-based test, and only candidates whose exam was scheduled for November 11 are affected by this change; the notice also confirms an earlier date change and a revised start date for the School Librarian Eligibility Examination.

Important Dates

The November 11 change was made after Bihar’s General Administration Department declared a public holiday for Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj, also known as Yama Dwitiya. BSEB moved that day’s paper to November 22, an 11-day change. The earlier November 4 paper had already been moved to November 21 because it clashed with KVS and NVS recruitment examinations.

Vacancy Details

This notice concerns examination dates and admit cards; it does not announce vacancies or provide a post-wise or category-wise vacancy breakdown. Bihar STET is an eligibility test, with Paper 1 for Classes 9–10 and Paper 2 for Classes 11–12.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

The schedule notice does not state educational qualifications or other eligibility requirements for Bihar STET 2026. Candidates should consult the official BSEB STET notification for the applicable eligibility rules.

Age Limit

No age limit or age-relaxation details are provided in this date-change notice.

Application Fee

The notice does not provide application-fee details. It announces a revised exam schedule and instructions for obtaining an updated admit card, rather than opening a new application period.

How to Apply

Candidates affected by the date change should obtain and check their revised admit card. The notice says it will be available from November 12, 2026.

1. Visit the STET admit-card portal at stetregistration.cbrt.co.in or the BSEB STET website at bsebstet.org.
2. Open the link labelled “Bihar STET 2026 Revised Admit Card.”
3. Enter the requested login information, such as an application number or user ID and password or date of birth.
4. Submit the details to display the revised admit card.
5. Check the exam date, reporting time, shift and centre carefully. The centre or shift may have changed.
6. Download and print the revised admit card. Candidates whose paper was scheduled for November 11 must carry the revised card for the November 22 exam; the old admit card should not be used.
7. On exam day, bring the printed revised admit card and an original photo ID, such as Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, passport or driving licence. Carry recent passport-size photographs if the admit-card instructions require them.

Candidates with STET papers on dates other than those specifically rescheduled should follow their existing admit-card details unless BSEB announces another change. Candidates for the School Librarian Eligibility Examination should note that its start date has moved from November 22 to November 23; BSEB cited unavoidable reasons and advised candidates to check the official portal for revised admit cards and instructions.

Salary & Pay Scale

Salary and pay-scale information is not applicable to this exam-date announcement and is not provided in the notice.

Selection Process

The notice does not set out a recruitment selection process. It confirms that STET is held as a computer-based test. The exam has two papers: Paper 1 for Classes 9–10 and Paper 2 for Classes 11–12. Each paper contains 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks and lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes. The stated sections are subject-specific content worth 100 marks and Teaching Art and Other Competencies worth 50 marks. There is no negative marking.

Affected candidates should update their plans using the revised date and check all admit-card details before travelling to the centre. Download the revised card from November 12 and follow any further instructions published by BSEB.
