BPSC School Teacher TRE 4 Syllabus 2026 Overview
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially published the syllabus and exam structure for the School Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE 4) 2026. Candidates aspiring to secure a teaching position in Bihar government schools across different levels must understand the structure and topics to prepare effectively.
Exam Structure and Pattern
The written examination consists of objective-type multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Each question carries one mark. The exam includes a negative marking scheme where 1/3rd (one-third) of a mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer. Additionally, leaving a question unanswered when using five options (A, B, C, D, E) without selecting any will also attract a negative marking of 1/3rd mark. Candidates must choose one correct answer or the option 'E' if they do not wish to attempt a specific question.
