Bihar STET 2026 Exam Pattern
| Section | Marks |
|---|---|
| Subject-specific questions | 100 |
| Teaching Aptitude and Other Competencies | 50 |
| Total | 150 |
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|

| Duration | 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) |

Normalization: Since Bihar STET is conducted across multiple shifts and dates, BSEB applies a Normalization formula to adjust for difficulty-level differences between shifts. A candidate’s qualifying status is decided on the basis of their Normalized Score, not the Raw Score. This means a candidate could get more correct answers (raw score) than the passing mark but still not qualify if their normalized score falls below the required cut-off — so always check your official normalized score on the scorecard, not just your raw calculation.

| Category | Qualifying Percentage |
|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 50% |
| Backward Class (BC) | 45.5% |
| Extremely Backward Class (EBC) | 42.5% |

| PwD (Divyang) | 40% |
| Women (all categories) | 40% |
These qualifying percentages have already been confirmed for STET 2026 and match the STET 2025 cycle exactly.
