Education Minister Sunil Kumar confirmed that district-wise vacancy lists have been finalized and forwarded to BPSC. The notification is expected before the Model Code of Conduct (for elections) kicks in.

❗ Why the Delay? (TRE 4 Notification Postponed)

Many candidates and educators have expressed concern over the delay. Here’s a breakdown of why TRE 4 is late:

1. 🛑 TRE 3 Controversies

• The March 2024 TRE 3 exam was cancelled due to a paper leak.
• Over 5 lakh candidates were affected.
• Legal petitions forced the High Court to pause the process and seek clarity on preference for guest teachers.

2. ⚖️ Court Orders and Litigations

• Ongoing lawsuits by guest teachers (नियोजित शिक्षक) demanding preference delayed recruitment.
• The High Court barred BPSC from moving ahead until old issues were resolved.

3. 🧪 STET 2024-25 Conflicts

• STET (eligibility test for upper-level teachers) was postponed due to server glitches and technical delays.
• TRE 4 could not proceed without STET-qualified candidates.

4. 🗳️ Election Model Code of Conduct

• Bihar’s elections are due soon.
• Once the Model Code of Conduct (चुनावी आचार संहिता) is enforced, new recruitment notifications cannot be issued.
• Hence, government is racing to publish the TRE 4 notification before the code kicks in.

🗣️ Official Statements

• Education Minister Sunil Kumar: “All district-level vacancies have been compiled. BPSC will notify TRE-4 within days.”
• Protests Continue: Student groups warn the exam must happen before elections or face indefinite delays.
