Bihar's next major teacher recruitment drive has taken a concrete step forward. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on 29 July 2026 that the state's Education Department has formally sent a requisition to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) for 32,388 teacher posts under the fourth phase of the Teacher Recruitment Examination, commonly known as TRE 4.0.

What Has Actually Been Confirmed

A requisition is the formal request a state department sends to a recruiting body before an official notification is drafted. It is a real and significant milestone, but it is not the same as a released advertisement. BPSC has not yet issued the TRE 4.0 notification, and no advertisement number, application window, or exam date has been confirmed by the commission.

The Chief Minister's statement did include a class-wise breakdown of the requisitioned posts:

  • Classes 1 to 5 (Primary Teacher): 3,847 posts
  • Classes 6 to 8 (Middle School Teacher): 8,563 posts
  • Classes 9 to 10 (Secondary Teacher): 3,877 posts
  • Classes 11 to 12 (Senior Secondary Teacher): 16,101 posts

Multiple education-focused outlets have reported this figure consistently, tying it directly to the Chief Minister's own statement, which makes 32,388 the most reliable number currently in circulation.

Why the Post Count Keeps Changing Online

Aspirants searching for TRE 4.0 updates will likely run into conflicting vacancy figures — some pages cite roughly 44,000 posts, others mention 45,198. These numbers appear to be carried over from earlier speculative estimates or templated aggregator pages, and neither is tied to an official BPSC source. Until BPSC releases its own notification, the class-wise requisition figures shared by the Chief Minister's office are the only numbers that trace back to an official statement.

What Happens Next

BPSC is expected to release the formal TRE 4.0 notification in August 2026, based on this requisition. Once that happens, candidates should expect the standard TRE process: an online application window, a single-stage written examination (OMR-based, as in previous TRE cycles), and document verification for shortlisted candidates. Eligibility will likely follow the pattern of TRE 3.0, requiring a relevant graduate or postgraduate degree along with CTET or STET qualification, depending on the class level applied for.

What to Do Right Now

Since the notification hasn't been released, there is nothing to apply for yet. The most useful step for aspirants at this stage is to begin or continue preparation, keep CTET/STET certificates updated, and watch for the official advertisement on BPSC's website rather than relying on unofficial vacancy counts.
