What is after the STET 2025 Qualification?
Candidates who have cleared the Bihar STET 2025 will be eligible to apply for teacher recruitment in government secondary and senior secondary schools in the state. The STET certificate is a mandatory requirement for teaching posts for Classes 9 to 12.
The eligibility certificate issued by BSEB remains valid for the upcoming recruitment drives. However, qualifying STET does not guarantee a job, as final selection depends on recruitment notifications, merit lists and document verification.
Qualified candidates are advised to keep their STET certificate safe and regularly check official websites for updates on teacher recruitment in Bihar.
