The bihar government is gearing up for a major teacher recruitment drive under the fourth phase of the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE‑4) conducted by the Bihar Public service Commission (BPSC). This phase comes after the earlier TRE rounds that recruited thousands of teachers across the state.

🗓 When Will the TRE‑4 Notification Be Released?

✔️ The official notification for TRE‑4 is expected after january 15, 2026 — once all vacancy details and requisitions are submitted to the BPSC by the state education department.

✔️ education Minister sunil Kumar has indicated that the vacancy list and roster clearance will be sent to BPSC by around january 15–20, which will then trigger the formal recruitment process including notification issuance.

📊 How Many Vacancies Are Expected?

🔹 Large‑scale recruitments are expected under TRE‑4 with estimates varying by source:

· Around ~27,910 vacancies being reported in the initial official proposal for TRE‑4.

· Other sources mention a drive covering up to 90,000 or more teacher posts when combining unfilled positions from previous phases and new recruitments.

· Earlier government directives even talked about 1.2 lakh total possible recruitments including backlog from older phases and new posts.

👉 District‑level breakdowns (like muzaffarpur and Samastipur) show over 1,000+ posts per district, with the majority for upper levels (middle to senior secondary) and fewer primary posts.

📌 What Levels of teachers Will Be Recruited?

The recruitment will include teacher positions across multiple school levels:

· Primary teachers (PRT) – Classes 1–5

· Upper Primary / Middle teachers (TGT) – Classes 6–8

· Secondary & Higher Secondary teachers (PGT) – Classes 9–12

In some districts, data shows a heavy focus on secondary/higher secondary posts with relatively fewer primary vacancies.

According to reports based on official estimates and preparatory work:

✔️ Notification release: Likely after January 15–20, 2026
✔️ Exam dates: Tentatively scheduled from Dec 16 to Dec 19, 2025 (if official notification goes ahead as per earlier drafts)
