The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) began the Bihar Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 today, October 14, 2025 . This examination determines candidate eligibility for teaching posts in secondary (Classes 9–10) and higher secondary (Classes 11–12) schools across Bihar.
The STET 2025 exam is conducted entirely in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. Examinations run in two daily shifts: the first from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM , and the second from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM . These timings apply to all exam dates.
Unofficial Answer Keys Emerge
Candidates who appeared for the STET 2025 on October 14, 2025 , can now access unofficial answer keys. These keys are compiled from memory-based questions. Test-takers recall and share these questions immediately following their examination shifts. Educational platforms and coaching institutes then publish these keys for immediate candidate reference.
Unofficial answer keys offer candidates an early estimate of their performance. They are not sanctioned or endorsed by the BSEB. Their primary purpose is to provide a preliminary guide for self-assessment before the official results are declared.
Accessing Unofficial Keys
Memory-based questions and their corresponding probable answers are being continuously collected and updated. Various educational news portals and online forums typically host these resources. Direct links to download unofficial answer key PDFs become available as more comprehensive sets of questions are gathered from test-takers.
Candidates can use these unofficial resources to cross-check their responses against anticipated correct answers. This process aids in identifying areas of strength and potential improvement, though scores remain provisional until official validation.
Official Answer Key Protocol
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) will release the official Bihar STET 2025 Answer Key at a later, announced date. BSEB typically publishes official keys after the entire examination cycle has concluded for all subjects and shifts. This official release provides the definitive correct answers for every question posed in the examination.
The official answer key holds critical importance for candidates. It enables them to calculate their final scores accurately and with certainty. Following its release, BSEB usually provides a specific window for candidates to raise objections against any perceived errors in the official key. Candidates must submit these objections within the stipulated timeframe, often accompanied by supporting evidence.
Purpose of Bihar STET Eligibility
The Bihar STET exam serves as a mandatory qualification for individuals aspiring to secure teaching positions in Bihar’s government-aided and recognized private schools. The examination is structured into two papers: Paper I and Paper II. Paper I certifies eligibility for secondary level teaching (Classes 9-10). Paper II certifies eligibility for higher secondary level teaching (Classes 11-12).
This eligibility test assesses candidates’ subject-specific knowledge, pedagogical understanding, and general teaching aptitude. Successful candidates receive an STET eligibility certificate. This certificate is currently valid for life, thereby enabling qualified individuals to apply for relevant teaching vacancies across the state of Bihar without needing to re-qualify through future STET exams.
Next Steps for Candidates
Candidates should regularly monitor the official BSEB website for timely updates concerning the release of the official answer key. The board will also publish details regarding the objection window, final result declaration, and subsequent counseling or recruitment processes on its official portal. Relying solely on official channels for information is critical for all test-takers.
