Candidates who were due to sit the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) on November 11 now have eleven more days to prepare. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has moved that paper to November 22, after the state government declared November 11 a public holiday.
Why the date changed
The General Administration Department declared November 11 a holiday on account of Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj. BSEB announced the revised schedule on November 8, shifting only the paper planned for November 11. Papers on other dates are unaffected, and the change applies to that single-day examination alone.
The STET began on October 25. With the revision, the examination will now run through November 22, its final day.
New admit cards from November 12
Candidates appearing on the new date will need a fresh hall ticket. BSEB will issue the revised admit cards from November 12 on the official STET portal, where candidates can download them with their login details.
The board has made it clear that the admit card issued earlier for the November 11 paper will not work at the exam centre. Anyone turning up with the old hall ticket risks being turned away, so candidates should download the revised one well before the exam day.
Before the exam, check the name, photograph, exam date and centre printed on the new admit card. If any detail is wrong, contact the board through the portal instead of waiting until the morning of the test. Our admission documents checklist covers the papers candidates usually need to carry to an exam centre.
What the test decides
STET assesses whether candidates are eligible to apply for teaching posts at the secondary and higher secondary levels in Bihar. Clearing it is the qualifying step for teacher vacancies in the state, which is why a date change this close to the exam matters. Candidates had planned travel and revision around November 11, and the new date gives them room to adjust both.
The librarian test moves too
BSEB has also changed the date of the School Librarian Eligibility Test (SLET) 2026. It was due to begin on November 22 and will now start on November 23. Candidates for that test should check the revised schedule on the board’s portal.
