Why Was the 11 November STET Exam Postponed?
The Bihar government’s General Administration Department has declared 11 November 2026 a holiday for Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj. Since the STET was scheduled on a public holiday, BSEB moved that day’s exam to 22 November.
For the Librarian Eligibility Test, the board has cited unavoidable reasons for the one-day shift.
Who Is Affected?
- Only candidates whose STET exam was on 11 November. Your exam is now on 22 November.
- Candidates with exams on other dates are not affected. BSEB’s notice does not change any other STET date, so appear on the date printed on your current admit card.
- Librarian Eligibility Test candidates: the exam now starts on 23 November instead of 22 November. Watch for the admit card and any shift-wise details from BSEB.
This Is the Second Date Change in STET 2026
This is not the first change. Earlier, BSEB moved the 4 November STET exam to 21 November because it clashed with KVS and NVS recruitment exams, and issued revised admit cards for it from 24 October. With both changes, the updated picture is:
| Originally scheduled | Now held on | Reason | Revised admit card |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 November 2026 | 21 November 2026 | Clash with KVS and NVS exams | From 24 October 2026 |
| 11 November 2026 | 22 November 2026 | Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj holiday | From 12 November 2026 |
STET 2026 began on 25 October and is being held in computer-based test (CBT) mode in two shifts. With this change, it now runs until 22 November.

What to Do in the Extra Days
If your exam moved from 11 to 22 November, you have 11 extra days. Use them well:
- Revise teaching aptitude. It carries 50 of the 150 marks, and its questions often repeat in theme. Practise with our Bihar STET teaching aptitude previous year questions.
- Solve previous papers in your subject. For example, see our Bihar STET computer science question papers.
- Brush up general awareness and reasoning with our STET general awareness and reasoning PYQs.
- Take timed mocks on a computer. Since STET is a CBT, practise answering on a screen, not just on paper.
- Plan your travel once you see your new centre, and reach before the reporting time.
