Bihar to Hold TRE‑4 Teacher Exam in Single Phase

The change aims to answer protesters’ core demand while triggering a judge‑led review of exam procedures to restore confidence in recruitment.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on Thursday that this year’s TRE‑4 recruitment will be conducted in a single phase after a delegation of protesting job aspirants met the government.
  • The decision affects TRE‑4, a drive that covers 32,388 teaching posts across primary, middle and senior‑secondary schools and was a central focus of the unrest.
  • The state has set up an expert committee on examination reforms chaired by a sitting Patna High Court judge to recommend changes and to hear students’ grievances about BPSC exams.
  • Officials also launched the Vidyaarthi Sahayata Portal and Vidyaarthi Sahayata Shivir to register and resolve complaints, and the government suspended BPSC controller Rajesh Kumar Singh after a controversial remark.
  • Protesters still press broader demands over alleged irregularities in the 70th preliminary exam, domicile rules and wider transparency reforms, so the single‑phase move is a first step rather than a final settlement.
