Latest update: 9 November 2026. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has reportedly rescheduled the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2026 session that was due to be held on 11 November. The affected examination is now reported for 22 November 2026, and revised admit-card access is expected to begin on 12 November through the official STET portal. This is a date-specific change: candidates assigned to other STET sessions should follow the date printed on their current admit card unless BSEB issues another notice.
This is the second reported date change in the current examination cycle. The STET session originally scheduled for 4 November had earlier been moved to 21 November because it clashed with KVS and NVS recruitment examinations. Candidates affected by either change must check the latest admit card rather than relying on an older printout.
Bihar STET 2026: Latest Revised Exam Dates
| Original session / event | Reported revised date | What candidates should do |
|---|---|---|
| 4 November 2026 STET session | 21 November 2026 | Download and carry the revised admit card issued for the affected session. |
| 11 November 2026 STET session | 22 November 2026 | Check the official portal from 12 November for the revised admit card and verify the new date, shift and centre. |
| Other scheduled STET sessions | No change reported | Follow the date, shift and centre printed on the current admit card unless BSEB publishes another update. |
| School Librarian Eligibility Examination (SLET) 2026 | Reported to begin on 23 November 2026 | Check the separate SLET notice and admit card; do not apply the STET schedule to SLET. |
For the separate Bihar School Librarian Eligibility Test 2026, BSEB has now reported a revised examination date of 23 November. See the dedicated update for the eligibility-test pattern, qualifying marks and admit-card portal.
Why Has Bihar STET 2026 Been Rescheduled?
The 4 November session was moved after a clash with recruitment examinations conducted by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS). The later change affecting the 11 November session has been reported in connection with Bihar’s public holiday for Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj. The latest report says the affected session will now take place on 22 November.
Verification note: Moneycontrol’s 9 November report cites BSEB’s official press note for the 11-to-22 November change. The BSEB notice page returned a 502 error when checked for this update, so the direct PDF could not be independently retrieved at publication time. The date and revised-admit-card availability are therefore attributed to the reported press note; candidates should confirm the details in their login on the official portal before travelling to the centre.
When Will the Revised Bihar STET Admit Card 2026 Be Available?
For the session moved from 11 November to 22 November, revised admit cards are reported to be available from 12 November 2026. Candidates whose 4 November session was moved to 21 November were earlier instructed to download a separate revised admit card from 24 October.
The revised hall ticket is important because it carries the candidate’s updated examination date and centre details. Do not assume that an earlier admit card automatically remains valid for a rescheduled session.

Subject combinations and educational requirements differ. Candidates should check the subject-wise eligibility in the original BSEB STET 2026 notification, including the required graduation or postgraduation subject, marks, B.Ed. or equivalent teacher-education qualification, and any special conditions for vocational or other subjects. Passing the STET is an eligibility qualification; it is not a direct appointment or a guarantee of a teaching job. Candidates must separately meet the conditions of any teacher-recruitment notification.
