Big announcement by the Chief Minister, TRE 4.0 exam to be held soon
There is great news for the youth preparing to become teachers in Bihar. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has directed to start the fourth phase of the teacher recruitment process (BPSC TRE 4.0) soon. He has clearly stated that in view of the acute shortage of teachers in the state's government schools, the vacant posts should be filled as soon as possible.
A message shared by the Chief Minister's Office on social media platform 'X' (formerly Twitter) stated –
“The Education Department has been instructed to immediately calculate the vacancies of teachers in government schools and take action for early appointment through the TRE 4 examination.”
On how many posts will the recruitment be done?
Under BPSC TRE 4.0, there is a possibility of appointment to a total of 1.20 lakh posts this time. Earlier it was estimated that only 1 lakh posts would be filled in this phase, but about 20 thousand posts remained vacant under TRE 3.0. In such a situation, the figure may reach 1.20 lakh by combining the vacant posts of TRE 3 and TRE 4.
Women will get 35% reservation
An important change in the new recruitment process is that 35 percent of the total posts will be reserved for women. This reservation will be available only to women residents of Bihar state. The objective of the state government is to increase the participation of women in the teaching field.
BPSC will issue official notification
The entire recruitment process will be conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). As soon as the Education Department completes the calculation of vacant posts, it will be handed over to BPSC.
