Attention all aspiring teachers! The dates for the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 are quickly approaching. Get ready, because the examination window is set from October 14th to October 31st, 2025.
Crucially, your Admit Cards—the golden ticket to the exam hall—are expected to be released shortly before the test starts, around October 11, 2025. Make sure you mark that date!
A Quick Look at the Exam Structure
Before you sit down to take the test, here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB):
- Who’s in Charge? The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB)
- How You’ll Take It: It’s a Computer-Based Test (CBT), meaning you’ll be taking it on a computer.
- Time Limit: You get a solid 2 hours and 30 minutes for each paper.
- What’s the Test Like? Each paper has 150 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), adding up to 150 marks.
- Good News! There is No Negative Marking, so feel free to attempt every question!
The STET is split into two papers, depending on what level you want to teach:
- Paper 1: This is for those aiming for Secondary Level teaching (Classes 9–10).
- Paper 2: This is for Higher Secondary Level teaching (Classes 11–12).
Know Your Exam Slot
The exam usually runs in two shifts:
- Morning Shift: Generally reserved for Paper 1 (Secondary Level).
- Afternoon Shift: Generally reserved for Paper 2 (Higher Secondary Level).
A word of advice: Your precise reporting and exam start times will be clearly printed on your individual Admit Card, so trust that document above all else!
Getting Your Admit Card: The Simple Steps
Once October 11th rolls around, here’s how to quickly get your Admit Card:
- Head straight to the official BSEB STET website: bsebstet.org.
- Look for the link that says something like “Download Admit Card” and give it a click.
- You’ll need to securely log in using your Registration Number and Date of Birth.
- Hit ‘Submit’ to see your card pop up.
- Important: Download the card and print out a clean, clear copy. This is an absolutely mandatory document for entry!
Don’t Forget These Exam Day Rules!
To ensure your day runs smoothly and stress-free, please stick to these key rules:
- Mandatory Items: You must bring your printed Admit Card and an original, valid government-issued photo ID (like your Aadhar card, Voter ID, or Passport). No digital copies allowed!
- Be Early: Plan to arrive at the exam center at least 30 minutes before your scheduled start time. Better safe than sorry!
- Leave Electronics Behind: Absolutely no electronic devices are permitted inside the hall. This means no mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, or any study material.
- Check the Dress Code: Glance over your Admit Card for any specific dress code requirements.
- Verify Everything: Take a moment before exam day to confirm your assigned center location and shift timings on your Admit Card. This prevents panic and confusion in the morning.
