Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari announced on Sunday that the number of vacancies under the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) 4 will be increased beyond the previously announced 32,388 posts. The exact increase will be revealed on Monday, August 24. Tiwari said the state government has sent the requisition to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), which will decide the examination schedule.
The BPSC has confirmed that TRE 4 will be conducted in two stages: Preliminary and Mains, with negative marking continuing. The commission also said candidates scoring above 60 percent will have their answer sheets rechecked. The exam date is likely to be announced in October, with the test expected in November or December, depending on the number of applicants, which could be up to five lakh or more.
Tiwari alleged that some groups and coaching centres were trying to mislead aspirants and prevent the exam from being held. The Bihar government plans to recruit 1 lakh school teachers over five years, with about 20,000 per year from 2026 to 2030. Registration for TRE 4 begins on September 1, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hindustan Times leads with the minister's promise to increase vacancies and his criticism of groups opposing the exam, giving the government's messaging prominence. India Today focuses on the BPSC's procedural clarifications: the two-stage format, negative marking, and the 60 percent recheck rule. Neither outlet reports any opposition or aspirant criticism in detail. The Hindustan Times story treats the minister's allegations as fact without countering voices. A balanced reader should note that while the vacancy increase is confirmed, key details like the exact new number, exam dates, and how the two-stage format will work remain pending. The next concrete number to watch is the vacancy increase announced on August 24.
