BPSC TRE 4 Update: Priority for Guest Teachers Confirmed; Notification & Exam Schedule Latest News

Guest Teachers Get Priority in BPSC TRE-4

The BPSC is preparing to release the official advertisement for TRE 4, reaffirming the policy to grant priority to guest teachers. Consistent with previous recruitment phases, candidates with prior experience as guest teachers in government schools will be eligible for weightage marks.

For every year of service, guest teachers will be awarded 2 bonus marks, capped at a maximum of 10 marks based on their total teaching experience. This policy significantly strengthens the competitive standing of experienced guest teachers in the final selection process.

The Bihar Education Department has formally communicated these provisions to the Bihar Lok Seva Aayog (BPSC), which will serve as the foundation for the upcoming recruitment notification.

Reserved Seats for Categories

The BPSC has received a formal request from the Education Department to categorize subject-wise vacancies according to the roster for the following special groups:

• Differently-abled candidates (Divyang)
• Relatives of freedom fighters (Swatantrata Senani)
• Women candidates

Bihar Lok Seva Aayog is currently in discussions with the Education Department to finalize subject-specific seat reservations. Candidates belonging to these categories are advised to await the release of the detailed seat matrix before the application portal opens.

Service Booklet Order for Appointed Teachers

The Patna District Education Office has issued a mandatory directive to principals of all government, project, and secondary/higher secondary schools. Teachers recruited via TRE 1 and TRE 2 must ensure their service booklets are officially opened and updated.
