STET 2025 Online Application: Candidates Await Active Link for Teacher Recruitment, Check Key Details

STET 2025 Online Application Update (10 September 2025): The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) had earlier announced that the online application process for the Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 would begin from 8 September 2025. However, even after the scheduled date, the official application link has not yet been activated on the website. With no fresh update from the board, candidates across Bihar remain uncertain and are eagerly waiting for the application window to open.

When Will the Application Start?

According to official information, the application link is expected to go live soon, possibly on 9 September or later. Once active, candidates can visit the official BSEB website — secondary.biharboardonline.com — to submit their forms. The last date to complete the application process is 16 September 2025, which leaves applicants with a very short window to apply.

Exam Schedule Announced

Despite the delay in the application process, BSEB has already finalized the examination schedule:

• STET Exam Date: 25 October 2025

• Result Declaration: 1 November 2025

This means candidates will have less than a month to prepare after completing their applications.

Why STET 2025 Is Crucial

The STET is not just another eligibility exam—it is mandatory for candidates applying for teaching positions under BPSC TRE-4. Over 1 lakh teacher vacancies are expected to be filled through this recruitment process. By conducting STET ahead of TRE-4, the Bihar government aims to ensure that only qualified candidates are eligible to participate in the final recruitment drive.

Passing Marks (Category-wise)

To qualify in the STET, candidates must score minimum marks based on their category:

• General Category: 50%

• OBC (Backward Class): 45%

• EBC (Extremely Backward Class): 45%

• SC/ST: 40%

• Women Candidates: 40%

• Persons with Disabilities (PwD): 40%

Exam Pattern and Paper Details

The STET 2025 exam will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode with the following structure:

• Two Papers:

  • Paper 1: Secondary school subjects

  • Paper 2: Higher secondary school subjects

• Number of Questions: 100 multiple-choice questions per paper

• Marks Distribution:

  • 100 marks for subject-specific questions

  • 50 marks for teacher aptitude and other skills

  • Total: 150 marks

• Duration: 2 hours

• Marking Scheme: No negative marking

This clear structure will help candidates plan their preparation more effectively.

What Candidates Should Do Now

Since the application link has not gone live yet, aspirants are advised to:

• Keep all necessary documents ready for quick upload once the form is available.

• Track the official BSEB website regularly for the latest updates.

• Avoid last-minute rush, as the deadline is 16 September, leaving no scope for delays.

Key Takeaway

The STET 2025 online application process has been delayed, leaving thousands of candidates waiting anxiously for the link to go active. With the exam set for 25 October and results due on 1 November, time is limited both for application and preparation. Since STET is a compulsory requirement for BPSC TRE-4 teaching posts, aspiring candidates cannot afford to miss this opportunity. Timely application and focused preparation will be the key to success.
