The Bihar School Examination Board has pushed back the online registration cut‑off for the 2026 Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test to September 22, giving candidates an extra week to apply. The exam is slated for the first week of November 2026.
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) announced on its portal that the last date for submitting online applications for the 2026 Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) has been moved from September 15 to September 22, 2026. The extension provides prospective teachers with an additional seven days to complete the registration process and upload the required documents.
STET is a mandatory qualifying exam for candidates seeking teaching positions in secondary schools across Bihar. The board has indicated that the examination itself is likely to be conducted in the first week of November 2026, although the exact dates will be confirmed later.
Applicants are advised to review the updated eligibility criteria and ensure that all mandatory fields are correctly filled before the new deadline. The board has also reminded candidates that incomplete or erroneous applications will be rejected, and no further extensions will be granted.
The deadline extension is expected to increase the pool of eligible candidates, thereby enhancing the selection process for teaching vacancies in the state’s schools.
