Exam Pattern / What to Expect

Here’s what the STET exam looks like:

• There are two papers:
  • Paper I – for Secondary level (Classes 9 & 10)
  • Paper II – for Senior Secondary (Classes 11 & 12)

• You can choose to appear in one paper or both, depending on what job you are aiming for.

• The exam period is between 4 October and 25 October 2025.

• You will get an eligibility certificate if you pass. This certificate is needed for teacher recruitment exams later.

Age Limit

There are age limits, relaxation categories etc. Though exact numbers might vary, here is what people are reporting:

• Minimum age is 21 years.

• For general (male) category, maximum ~ 37 years.

• For general (female) and reserved categories like OBC / BC / EWS, age relaxations up to ~ 40 years.

• For SC / ST, more relaxation.

• For PwD applicants, even more.

Always check the official STET notification for exact age limits for your category.

Why This Test Matters

• STET is compulsory if you want to apply in the teacher recruitment exams in Bihar. Without passing, you may not be eligible.

• It gives you a certificate that proves you are qualified to teach at secondary / senior secondary level.

• Getting the certificate early helps in applying for teacher jobs when they are announced.

Things to Watch Out For / Tips

• Use an email/mobile number that you regularly access (no forgotten passwords etc.).

• Scan documents properly; make sure the text is readable and all borders are visible. Blurry photos sometimes cause rejection.

• Keep track of your login details, registration number. You’ll need them for login, admit card etc.

• Save the confirmation / submission page. It may help if there is any dispute.

• If there is any notice of change (in exam date, age limit etc.), check only the official site bsebstet.org.

Official Website

The main site to use is: bsebstet.org

Always use that for registration, forms, notices and any updates, not random links.

Final Word

If you want to be a teacher in Bihar at the secondary or senior secondary level, don’t miss this deadline. September 27, 2025 is the last date you can apply for Bihar STET 2025 through the official website. After that, you won’t be able to register.

Prepare your documents, fill the form carefully, double check everything, and submit with time to spare. Once you clear STET, you’ll be in a better position when recruitment notices come.
