# Bihar STET 2026 Cut-Off Marks: Category-Wise Qualifying Scores 2026-10-27T22:31:21+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has set the qualifying marks for the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2026. General category candidates must secure 50% (75 marks out of 150) to pass, while BC, OBC, SC, ST, PwD, and Women candidates have lower thresholds. The exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 for Classes 9 to 10 and Paper 2 for Classes 11 to 12, each carrying 150 questions for 150 marks. Candidates who meet their category-wise cut-off will receive the STET Certificate and become eligible to apply for teaching vacancies in Bihar’s government schools. Factors such as exam difficulty, number of vacancies, number of applicants, and candidate performance influence the cut-off each year. The BSEB will release the final cut-off along with the result on its official website. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The fixed qualifying percentages mean that passing the STET is a threshold, not a competitive ranking: every candidate who meets the category bar gets the certificate. The real competition for actual teaching posts will come later, when BSEB or the state government notifies vacancies and candidates apply. The cut-off itself is only an eligibility floor, the number of vacancies and the pool of certificate holders will determine how many eventually get a job. ## Coverage - adda247.com Factual listing of cut-off marks and procedure, no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
