Officials said the Bihar engineering and polytechnic teacher recruitment will include 1,239 vacancies in technical institutions. Out of these, 966 posts are for engineering colleges and 273 posts are for polytechnic colleges across Bihar.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary shared this information during a press briefing in Patna. He said the recruitment drive aims to strengthen technical education and improve the quality of teaching in engineering and polytechnic institutes.

The government believes that stronger faculty will help students receive better education within the state and reduce the need to move elsewhere for technical studies.

Earlier, the state also announced recruitment for 723 instructors and 1,093 laboratory assistants in engineering and polytechnic colleges to further support technical education infrastructure.

The Panchayat Block Teacher Recruitment Verdict relates to the 2006–2008 recruitment process for Panchayat and block-level teachers. Some candidates who were on old selection lists later received appointments when vacancies appeared in 2012. The state government later challenged those appointments and cancelled them.

A division bench of the Patna High Court dismissed several appeals filed by affected candidates. The court supported the state government’s decision and said the recruitment process had already ended in 2010.

The judges also stated that a merit list cannot remain valid indefinitely like a reserve panel. Vacancies that arise later must follow a fresh recruitment process.

The court further noted that some petitioners filed appeals after delays of six to eight years, which weakened their claims.

The Gopalganj GNM school marriage ban revoked decision came after health authorities reviewed the order. Officials said no rule allows an institute to restrict a student’s right to education based on marital status.

The issue started on April 16 when a notice from the Hathua General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) School in Bihar’s Gopalganj district told female students not to marry during the academic session. The notice warned that the college would cancel the enrolment of any student who married during training.

The order quickly triggered criticism on social media and among students’ families. Many argued that educational institutions cannot interfere in personal decisions like marriage.

After the controversy grew, the civil surgeon cancelled the directive and ordered an inquiry. Authorities also sought an explanation from the principal who issued the notice.

The principal later clarified that the message aimed to encourage students to maintain attendance and focus on studies. She admitted that there is no official rule banning marriage during nursing training.

According to officials of Bhupendra Narayan Mandal University, the new fee structure will apply from the 2026–28 academic session. The university increased the fee for the two-year BEd course from about ₹1.05 lakh to nearly ₹1.5 lakh.

After the announcement, several student organizations started protests on campus. They said the Kosi-Seemanchal region mostly has students from farming and low-income families, and such a sharp fee increase will make teacher training unaffordable.

Student leaders demanded that the university administration review the decision immediately. They also urged the vice-chancellor to restore the previous fee structure so that more students can continue their education without financial pressure.
