The Bihar government phases out the State Teacher Eligibility Test (stet) and adopts the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (ctet) for recruitment of teachers from classes 1 to 8. The decision aims to streamline the selection process and align teacher eligibility standards with national norms.
Under the new system, candidates applying for primary and upper primary teaching posts must qualify ctet instead of stet. Officials state that this move simplifies the recruitment process and ensures uniform standards for teacher eligibility.
The government says the change improves transparency and reduces duplication of examinations. Candidates who plan to apply for teaching positions in government schools across Bihar now need to meet ctet qualification requirements.
Education experts believe the shift strengthens consistency in teacher recruitment and enhances quality standards in elementary education. The updated policy applies to upcoming recruitment notifications.
Applicants are advised to regularly check official announcements regarding eligibility criteria, application dates, and recruitment guidelines.
Key highlights:
- Bihar discontinues stet for classes 1 to 8 recruitment
- Ctet becomes mandatory for teacher eligibility
- Decision aligns recruitment with national standards
- Change applies to future teacher recruitment drives
