Under the Model School Teacher Selection in Bihar, applicants will be evaluated on several factors. These include academic qualifications, teaching experience, previous performance, and a personal interview. Authorities plan to recruit about 153 teachers through this process in district model schools.

Marks will be divided into different categories. Academic qualifications can give candidates up to 40 marks. Teaching experience can add 30 marks. The interview will carry 20 marks and will test the candidate’s knowledge, skills, and suitability for teaching.

A five-member committee will conduct the interview. The panel will include the Deputy Development Commissioner, District Education Officer, and other education officials nominated by the District Magistrate. Candidates must also submit verified documents for their claims.

The department has also set an age limit. Applicants must be under 50 years of age as of March 31, 2026.

The Higher Education Department has proposed recruitment for 209 new degree colleges. The plan includes 209 principals, 6,479 assistant professors, and 2,508 non-teaching staff such as clerks, lab assistants, and computer operators.

The department has already sent the proposal to the Finance Department for approval. After review by the administrative committee and the law department, the proposal will go to the state cabinet. Recruitment will begin once the cabinet approves it.

Each college will have teachers for 15 subjects in arts, science, and commerce. Initially, six arts subjects—history, geography, political science, sociology, Hindi, and English—will start from the 2026–30 academic session.

Officials say these colleges will improve access to higher education and increase Bihar’s gross enrollment ratio, which currently stands at about 17 percent.

Thousands of teacher aspirants gathered in the capital city, blocking major roads including JP Golambar and Dak Bungalow Chowk. Tension rose when protesters attempted to break through police barricades. In response, police used batons to disperse the crowd, leading to chaos and traffic disruptions across Patna.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that several students sustained injuries. The candidates pressed for the release of TRE 4 notification before September 15 and demanded vacancies be raised to 1.20 lakh.

Meanwhile, the Nitish Kumar government clarified that the Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) would be held first. Applications will close in September, followed by exams in October. Only after that will the BPSC TRE 4 recruitment start, with December tentatively set for exams. However, aspirants argue TRE 4 must be completed before the Bihar Assembly elections expected in October–November.

With heavy police deployment continuing in protest areas, the situation remains tense in Patna. The demand for BPSC TRE 4 protests highlights growing unrest among teacher candidates awaiting recruitment.
