The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has released the BPSC TRE 4.0 Recruitment 2026 notification for 32,388 School Teacher vacancies under the Education Department, Government of Bihar. The recruitment advertisement was issued on August 18, 2026, under Advertisement No. 14/2026. Online applications will begin on September 1, 2026.
Candidates will be recruited for teaching positions from Classes 1 to 12, including Primary, Middle School, Secondary and Higher Secondary Teacher posts. The last date to pay the prescribed examination fee is September 29, while candidates can submit the completed online application until September 30, 2026.
An important change is that the latest recruitment carries 32,388 vacancies, replacing the higher vacancy figures mentioned in some earlier BPSC calendars and reports. The latest BPSC examination calendar also lists TRE 4.0 with 32,388 vacancies and presently keeps the examination date as TBD, meaning candidates should not consider previously reported September exam dates final.

Important Note on Women’s Reservation
Bihar has revised the implementation of the 35% reservation available to women in state government recruitment, with the reservation benefit linked to Bihar domicile. The policy is relevant to the TRE recruitment process, while women who do not fulfil the domicile condition may have to compete under the applicable open/category framework.
Candidates seeking reservation benefits should therefore check the domicile and certificate conditions carefully before claiming a reserved category in the application.
Earlier 46,595 Vacancy Figure Is No Longer the Current TRE 4.0 Count
A key issue for candidates is the difference between older vacancy figures and the latest advertisement.
Some previous BPSC calendars and education portals had mentioned around 46,595 vacancies for TRE 4.0. However, the recruitment advertisement issued on August 18 confirms 32,388 vacancies under Advertisement No. 14/2026. The latest BPSC examination calendar also carries the 32,388 figure.
Therefore, candidates should use 32,388 vacancies as the current official TRE 4.0 recruitment figure unless BPSC subsequently issues a corrigendum or additional vacancy notice.
What Candidates Should Do Now
With the notification now released, candidates have until September 1 to prepare their documents and verify eligibility for the relevant teaching level and subject.
The most important immediate points are:
- Total recruitment: 32,388 vacancies
- Application starts: September 1, 2026
- Fee payment closes: September 29, 2026
- Application closes: September 30, 2026
- Exam date: Not yet announced
Candidates should also start examination preparation without waiting for the test date because BPSC can announce the detailed schedule after completion of the application period.
