The Bihar STET Dummy Admit Card 2026 has been released for candidates registered for the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2026. Applicants can check the dummy admit card through the official BSEB STET candidate login using their application number or user ID and password.
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) opened the online registration process on 17 August 2026. The application deadline was later extended, and the final date reported for online application and fee payment was 22 September 2026. The Bihar STET 2026 examination date has not been announced yet. The final admit card will be issued before the computer-based test through the official portal.
Bihar STET is a teacher eligibility examination for candidates seeking eligibility for teaching at the secondary and higher-secondary levels in Bihar. Qualifying STET does not itself provide a government teaching appointment. Candidates who qualify may use the certificate for teacher recruitment processes announced later, subject to the eligibility conditions of the relevant recruitment.

• Application or registration number;
• Selected paper: Paper-I, Paper-II or both;

Bihar STET Application Fee 2026
The fee depends on whether the candidate applies for one paper or both papers.
| Candidate category | Paper-I or Paper-II | Both Paper-I and Paper-II |
| General / EWS / BC / EBC | ₹960 | ₹1,440 |
| SC / ST / Divyang (PwD) | ₹760 | ₹1,140 |
| Other-state candidates | General-category fee rules apply | General-category fee rules apply |
The fee is paid online using the payment options available on the application portal, such as debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. Candidates should save the payment receipt and final application confirmation.
Reservation, fee concession and qualifying-mark benefits are generally linked to the candidate’s Bihar domicile and the conditions in the notification. Candidates from outside Bihar should read the category-treatment clause carefully before selecting a reserved category.
Bihar STET 2026 Eligibility
Bihar STET has two papers. Candidates can apply for one paper or both papers if they meet the relevant educational and professional qualification requirements.
Paper-I: Secondary level, classes 9–10
For general subjects, candidates generally need:
• A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in the relevant subject or subject group;
• At least 50% marks where prescribed; and
• A B.Ed. degree or equivalent qualification from an institution recognised under the applicable NCTE rules.
The notification also contains subject-specific and NCTE-related alternative provisions, including applicable 45% routes and four-year integrated teacher-education qualifications where permitted. Candidates must read the qualification table for their exact subject instead of assuming that one qualification applies to every Paper-I subject.
Paper-II: Higher-secondary level, classes 11–12
For general subjects, candidates generally need:
• A postgraduate degree in the relevant subject or subject group;
• At least 50% marks where prescribed; and
• A B.Ed. degree or equivalent qualification from an NCTE-recognised institution.
Subject-specific rules can differ for Computer Science, Physical Education, Music, Fine Arts, Dance, Agriculture and other specialised subjects. The relevant qualification in the official notification must be checked before relying on the eligibility claim.
Special and subject-specific qualifications
Additional eligibility provisions may apply to:
• Physical Education;
• Music;
• Fine Arts;
• Dance;
• Special School Teacher;
• Computer Science;
• Agriculture; and
• Other subjects with professional or subject-specific qualifications.
A degree title that sounds similar to the subject name may not automatically meet the prescribed subject-group requirement. Candidates should compare their marksheets and degree subjects with the applicable BSEB qualification table.
Bihar STET Age Limit 2026
The minimum age for Bihar STET 2026 is 21 years as on 1 August 2026. The reported upper-age limits are:
| Category | Maximum age as on 1 August 2026 |
| Unreserved male | 37 years |
| Unreserved female | 40 years |
| BC male/female | 40 years |
| EBC male/female | 40 years |
| SC male/female | 42 years |
| ST male/female | 42 years |
Additional relaxation may be available for eligible Divyang and ex-servicemen candidates according to the applicable Bihar Government rules. Candidates should keep the prescribed certificate ready if they are claiming age relaxation.
The age calculation date is important. A candidate who crosses the upper age limit after 1 August 2026 but before the examination should still follow the notification’s stated age rule, not the exam date.
Bihar STET 2026 Exam Pattern
Both Bihar STET papers are objective-type computer-based tests.
| Section | Marks |
| Specific subject content | 100 |
| Teaching aptitude and other competencies | 50 |
| Total | 150 |
Examination details
• Total marks: 150 per paper;
• Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes per paper;
• Question type: Objective/MCQ;
• Mode: Computer-Based Test;
• Negative marking: No negative marking is reported;
• Multiple shifts: Normalisation may be applied where required.
Candidates appearing for both papers should prepare for each paper separately. The subject-content section carries the larger share of marks, while teaching aptitude and other competencies carry 50 marks.
Bihar STET Qualifying Marks
The reported minimum qualifying percentages are:
| Category | Minimum qualifying percentage |
| General | 50% |
| Backward Class (BC) | 45.5% |
| Extremely Backward Class (EBC) | 42.5% |
| SC / ST | 40% |
| Divyang (PwD) | 40% |
| Women | 40% |
The final qualifying calculation and category benefit will be governed by the BSEB notification and applicable Bihar rules. Candidates should not confuse the qualifying percentage with a future teacher-recruitment cut-off; a later recruitment may have its own merit and eligibility conditions.
Bihar STET 2026 Certificate Validity
The Bihar STET qualifying certificate is reported to have lifetime validity. This means candidates who qualify do not generally need to reappear solely to renew the certificate’s validity, subject to the rules applicable to future recruitment.
A lifetime STET certificate does not guarantee appointment. Candidates must still satisfy the eligibility requirements, merit conditions, document verification and other rules of any later teacher-recruitment process.
