BPSC TRE 4.0 — Bihar Teacher Recruitment Exam, Phase 4 Guide
BPSC TRE (Teacher Recruitment Examination) is Bihar's state teacher recruitment, now in its 4th phase, covering PRT/TGT/PGT posts. The official notification was still pending as of this draft.
- Exam: BPSC TRE 4.0, conducted by Bihar Public Service Commission
- Distinctive pattern: 3 papers (Language qualifying + General Studies + Subject), 150 questions/150 marks, 2.5 hrs, NO negative marking
- *Vacancy figure disputed: 32,388 (tied to a Deputy CM statement) is the most traceable figure; 46,000+ figures circulating are likely unverified projections
- Exam date (most consistent figure across sources): 22-27 September 2026
- Official notification expected August 2026 — not yet released as of this draft
No official TRE 4.0 notification existed at the time of this research. The 32,388 vacancy figure traces to a public statement by Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary about a formal requisition to BPSC — the closest thing to an official number available, but still not a published notification. Update this article once BPSC's own notification drops.
Overview
| Exam | BPSC Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE), Phase 4 |
| Conducted by | BPSC |
| Levels | PRT (1-5), Middle/TGT (6-8), Secondary (9-10), Higher-Secondary/PGT (11-12) |
| Pattern | 3 papers: Language (qualifying) + GS + Subject, 150 marks, no negative marking |
| Exam date (reported) | 22-27 September 2026 |
Eligibility
- PRT: 12th (45-50%) + D.El.Ed/B.El.Ed; CTET Paper 1 mandatory.
- TGT: Graduation (45-50%) + B.Ed + CTET/Bihar-STET.
- PGT: Master's (50-55%) + B.Ed + STET Paper 2.
- *Age ceiling ~37 (unreserved) to 40/42 (reserved) — exact figures conflict across sources.
Selection Process & Exam Pattern
3-paper format (inherited from TRE 3.0): Paper I Language — qualifying only, min 30% to pass, not counted in merit. Paper II General Studies. Paper III Subject-specific (TGT/PGT). Total: 150 questions/150 marks, 2.5 hours, offline OMR, no negative marking. Merit = General Studies + Subject marks only.
*One source describes a different PRT structure (220 marks/4 hours) — the 150-mark/3-paper version is better corroborated and matches TRE 3.0 precedent, but neither is confirmed for TRE 4.0 specifically yet.
Syllabus
Paper I: English + one of Hindi/Urdu/Bengali. Paper II: Elementary Maths, Mental Ability, General Awareness/Science, Social Science, Indian National Movement, Geography, Environment. Paper III (TGT/PGT): subject-specific.
Pay Scale
*Reported basic pay by level: PRT ₹25,000, Middle/TGT ₹28,000, Secondary ₹31,000, PGT ₹32,000, plus 42% DA and location-based HRA. Exact pay-matrix level not confirmed.

Is there negative marking in BPSC TRE?
No — consistently reported as having no negative marking across all TRE phases including 4.0.
How many vacancies for TRE 4.0?
Disputed. The most traceable figure (32,388) comes from a public statement by Bihar's Deputy CM about a formal requisition to BPSC. Other figures (44,000-46,595) circulating online are unverified — wait for BPSC's own notification.
Sources
The 3-paper/no-negative-marking pattern is well-corroborated from TRE 3.0 precedent. Vacancy count is genuinely disputed and unconfirmed — present the 32,388 figure as the primary one with an explicit "official notification pending" caveat, and update once BPSC publishes.
