Patna, January 5, 2026 — Thousands of candidates who sat for the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 are on edge as the result is expected to be released today, January 5, 2026. According to multiple media reports, including confirmation from the BSEB chairman, the board is finalising the results and scorecards for both Paper I and Paper II, which will be published on the official website once the announcement is made.
The STET — a key eligibility test for teacher recruitment in Bihar’s secondary and higher secondary schools — was conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode across the state. Once declared, candidates will be able to access and download their results using their login credentials.
Background: What Is Bihar STET and Why It Matters
The Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) is an important qualifying examination administered by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) to determine the eligibility of candidates aspiring to teach at secondary (Classes 9–10) and higher secondary (Classes 11–12) levels in government schools across Bihar.
STET is not merely a qualifying exam; it serves as a gateway to teacher recruitment processes conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) and other authorities, where candidates who clear STET receive an eligibility certificate with lifetime validity.
The 2025 STET was administered between October 14 and November 16, 2025, split into two segments:
- Paper I: For candidates targeting secondary-level teaching (Classes 9–10)
- Paper II: For candidates aiming at higher secondary-level teaching (Classes 11–12)
Because the test determines eligibility rather than direct appointment, clearing STET alone does not guarantee a job, but it is an essential step toward teacher recruitment in Bihar’s state education system.
Result Date Confirmation: Expectation Builds Across State
For weeks, aspiring teachers have waited for official confirmation on the STET result release. While the BSEB has not publicly declared an exact time, Chairman Anand Kishore reportedly stated that the result would be out “by January 5, 2026.”
Multiple educational news portals and outlets, including NDTV and Business Standard, have reiterated this timeline, underscoring that the result could be declared anytime today on the official portal.
However, as of mid-afternoon India Standard Time on January 5, the results were not yet officially published, and some live result trackers noted that the exact release time remains unconfirmed. This suggests the board is likely finalising the scorecards before pushing them live.
How to Check and Download the STET Result
Once the BSEB officially announces the STET 2025 results, candidates will be able to follow these steps to check and download their scorecards:
- Visit the official BSEB STET website: bsebstet.org — the designated portal for the results.
- Look for a result notification or link that reads “Bihar STET Result 2025 / Scorecard.”
- Click the link, which will open a login page.
- Enter your registration number and date of birth exactly as on your application/admit card.
- After submitting the details, your STET result and scorecard should appear.
- Download and print the scorecard for future reference, especially for recruitment and certificate issuance processes.
Candidates are advised to save a digital copy and a printed copy of their scorecards, as the STET certificate will later be required in recruitment applications and appointment procedures.
Details Included in the Result Scorecard
Once released, the Bihar STET 2025 scorecard will typically contain:
- Candidate’s name and roll number
- Registration number
- Paper attempted (Paper I or Paper II)
- Marks obtained
- Category and qualifying status
- Subject or stream details (if applicable)
Reviewing these details carefully is important to ensure there are no errors. If candidates notice discrepancies, they should contact the board’s helpdesk promptly.
Qualifying Marks and Eligibility Criteria
The qualifying marks for the Bihar STET 2025 are defined by candidate category, reflecting reservation and equitable criteria across social groups. Based on the latest updates on expected result details:
- General category: Minimum 50%
- Backward Classes (BC): Minimum 45.5%
- OBC / EBC: Minimum 42.5%
- SC / ST / PwD / Women: Minimum 40%
Candidates who meet or exceed these thresholds will be deemed to have qualified the STET and will later receive an STET eligibility certificate issued by the BSEB.
It’s important to understand that qualifying marks are standard benchmarks, not cut-offs based on performance relative to peers. The board does not generally release a separate cut-off sheet that compares scores across different subjects or categories beyond these thresholds.
What Happens After the STET Result
Qualifying the Bihar STET marks a significant milestone in an aspirant’s journey toward becoming a government teacher in Bihar, but it is not the final step toward appointment. The next phases often involve:
1. Certificate Issuance
After result declaration, the Board typically issues a STET eligibility certificate to candidates who cleared the exam. This certificate is usually required for further recruitment processes and may be available for download from the board’s portal or issued physically.
2. Recruitment Exams
Qualifying STET makes candidates eligible but does not guarantee a job. To secure a teaching position, candidates often need to appear in recruitment examinations — such as those conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) or other recruiting bodies — where vacancies are advertised and selection is based on merit lists and merit plus interview/selection stages.
3. Document Verification & Interview
Selected candidates after recruitment exams may undergo document verification, including verification of educational credentials, eligibility certificates, caste certificates, and other required proofs. Subsequent interviews or skill tests may also be part of the selection process.
4. Appointment & Joining
Final appointment letters and posting orders are given once candidates pass all stages and are found eligible for teaching roles within government schools.
Technical and Practical Tips for Result Day
Given the heavy online traffic expected when results are declared, candidates are advised to:
- Keep your registration and admit card details ready beforehand.
- Use a stable internet connection to avoid login issues.
- Try multiple official portals if the main site encounters delays: bsebstet.org and bihar-stet.com are both mentioned in educational updates as possible result access points.
- Be patient if servers slow or temporarily crash due to heavy traffic; results generally become accessible again within minutes.
Waiting candidates across the state are being continually advised to check official BSEB communication channels and credible educational news sources for live updates when the result link goes live.
Voices from the Ground: Aspirants and Expectations
The mood among STET candidates has been one of intense anticipation. For many aspirants, qualifying STET is a lifelong goal as it opens paths into:
- Secondary and higher secondary teaching positions in government schools
- Better career prospects and job security
- Respectable roles within Bihar’s public education framework
Thousands of candidates appeared for the STET with aspirations of scoring high enough to secure eligibility and proceed toward recruitment. The anxiety has only heightened as the result day arrived without an official release time, even as the chairman confirmed the date.
Parents and coaching institutes have also been tracking the expected release, offering guidance on result checking procedures and preparing for subsequent recruitment steps once the scorecards are out.
Why the Result Announcement Is Significant
The Bihar STET is one of the state’s most important teacher eligibility exams, not only because it determines who is qualified to teach in government schools, but also because:
- It shapes teacher workforce quality across Bihar’s secondary education system.
- The result feeds into recruitment pipelines for BPSC and other government teacher hiring drives.
- Qualified candidates gain a lifetime eligibility certificate, recognized across future recruitment cycles without the need to reappear for eligibility tests.
A good STET result significantly enhances an aspirant’s prospects of pursuing a stable and respected career in education, making this day one of the most important milestones of their professional journey.
