Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has consented to conduct a single-phase exam for teacher recruitment in Bihar, despite ongoing protests by stakeholders.
Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary of Bihar announced his approval for a single-phase examination to fill vacant teaching posts across the state. The decision comes as teachers' unions and aspirants have staged protests, demanding a transparent and streamlined recruitment process. By moving to a one-stage test, the government aims to expedite appointments and reduce the administrative burden associated with multiple exam rounds.
The protests, which have been reported in several districts, highlight concerns over the fairness of the selection criteria and the timeline for results. While the CM's move addresses calls for a quicker hiring mechanism, officials have assured that the exam will adhere to existing eligibility norms and merit-based selection.
Education officials are now tasked with finalising the exam schedule, syllabus and application procedures. Stakeholders are expected to monitor the implementation closely, as the outcome will impact the staffing of schools and the quality of education delivery in Bihar.
