Why Has the Bihar STET Exam of 11 November Been Postponed?
According to the board’s press note, the General Administration Department of Bihar has declared 11 November 2026 a public holiday on account of Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj (also known as Yama Dwitiya). Since government offices and many institutions will be closed, and candidates and staff would face difficulty travelling on a festival day, BSEB has moved that day’s STET exam to 22 November 2026, 11 days later.

BSEB has also revised the schedule of the School Librarian Eligibility Examination 2026:

- New start date: 23 November 2026
- Reason: The board has cited unavoidable reasons. The 22 November slot is now used for the rescheduled STET exam.
