Bihar STET 2025: Candidates’ wait for the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (Bihar STET 2025) is getting longer. Angry candidates protested outside the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) headquarters in Patna over the application process not starting on time. Candidates allege the board is continuously postponing the application date.
Amidst the protests, discussions took place between board officials and students. Following the discussions, students claimed the Bihar Board assured them that the application link for STET 2025 would be opened on Sunday, September 21st. However, no official notice has been issued by the board yet. Currently, the students have postponed their protest, but have warned that they will resume the protest if the application portal is not opened by the stipulated date.
The dates were originally set for September 11th to 19th.
The Bihar Board had previously released a schedule for accepting online applications from September 11th to 19th, 2025. However, the application process was postponed due to technical reasons. The board stated in a notice that a new application date would be released soon. Candidates can apply by visiting the official website secondary.biharboardonline.com or biharboardonline.com.
