The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has extended the deadline for admissions to its Diploma in Elementary Education (DElEd) course. Candidates included in the first selection list for the 2025-2027 academic session now have until December 18, 2025 , to complete their admission formalities. This extension covers the slide-up process and modification of college choices.
The Diploma in Elementary Education (DElEd) is a two-year professional program. It prepares individuals for teaching positions in primary schools across Bihar. The extended deadline provides eligible candidates more time to secure their seats for the upcoming session.
The initial admission period for the first selection list began on December 11, 2025, and was set to conclude on December 16, 2025. This timeline has now shifted. The BSEB published the first selection list on bsebdeled.com after online applications closed on December 5, 2025. Applications were open from November 29, 2025.
Key Admission Deadlines
The new deadline of December 18, 2025 , impacts multiple stages of the DElEd admission process. This date marks the final opportunity for several actions. Candidates must complete all admission requirements by this date.
Candidates who have already secured admission and wish to change their allocated institution can apply for the slide-up process. This online application window also closes on December 18, 2025 . The slide-up option allows students to potentially move to a higher-preference college if a seat becomes available.
For candidates who did not receive a seat in the first selection list, the period to modify previous college choices or submit entirely new preferences also ends on December 18, 2025 . This allows unselected candidates to adjust their college preferences for subsequent selection rounds.
Following student actions, training institutions must update their final seat status. Colleges are required to complete the final seat updation on the official BSEB portal by December 19, 2025 . This step verifies the number of filled and vacant seats after the first round of admissions and choice modifications.
Subsequent Selection Rounds Announced
The BSEB has outlined a clear timeline for subsequent admission lists. The second selection list for DElEd 2025-2027 admissions is scheduled for release on December 21, 2025 . This list will announce new allocations for eligible candidates.
Admissions based on the second selection list will commence shortly after its release. The admission period for second-list candidates is set from December 22 to December 26, 2025 . Students allocated institutions in this round must complete their formalities within these five days.
After the second admission phase, training institutions must again update seat information. The deadline for final seat updation by colleges, post-second list admissions, is December 27, 2025 . This ensures an accurate count of available seats for the final round.
A third selection list has also been scheduled. The BSEB will release the third selection list on January 3, 2026 . Admissions for candidates on this final list will run from January 3 to January 8, 2026 . Training institutions will complete their last seat updation following this period, as per the detailed schedule.
