Bihar STET Admit Card: New Admit Card on 12 November for the 22 November Paper
Here's the main thing to do: download your new admit card from 12 November 2026 on the official STET portal, stetregistration.cbrt.co.in. You'll log in with the same details you used for your application.
What has changed
BSEB has changed the STET 2026 schedule again. The paper first set for 11 November 2026 will now be held on 22 November 2026. News of the change came out on 9 November 2026.
Why the 11 November paper was moved
Bihar's General Administration Department declared 11 November a public holiday for Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj. The STET paper set for that day was moved for this reason. It has nothing to do with candidates, so you don't need to re-register or apply again.
Who needs to download the admit card again
- Candidates whose paper was on 11 November: you must download the fresh admit card released on 12 November. It will show your new exam date, 22 November.
- Your old admit card: it shows 11 November, a date that no longer applies to your paper. Don't rely on it. Carry only the new one that shows 22 November.
- Candidates with papers on other dates: this change is only for the 11 November paper. Still, log in and check your admit card so you know your date and centre for sure.
How This Fits the Earlier Change: 4 November Paper Now on 21 November
This is BSEB's second change to this year's schedule. In late October, the board moved the paper set for 4 November 2026 to 21 November 2026. That paper clashed with the recruitment exams of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) on the same day. Many STET candidates also apply for KVS and NVS teaching posts, so the move helped them.
At that time, BSEB said only the 4 November paper was affected and the other dates stayed the same. Now the 11 November paper has moved too. So the exam, which began on 25 October 2026, will now end on 22 November 2026.
Both moved papers at a glance
| Original date | Revised date | Reason | New admit card release |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 November 2026 | 21 November 2026 | Clash with KVS and NVS recruitment exams | 24 October 2026 (as reported) |
| 11 November 2026 | 22 November 2026 | Public holiday for Chitragupta Puja and Bhai Dooj | 12 November 2026 |
If your paper was on 4 November, you should already have your revised admit card for 21 November. If you haven't downloaded it yet, log in to the portal now.

A related change: the Librarian Eligibility Test
BSEB also runs the School Librarian Eligibility Test (SLET). It was set for 22 November and has been moved to 23 November 2026, with admit cards due on 17 November. If you're taking both STET and SLET, you now have two exams on back-to-back days, so plan your travel and rest.

How to Download the Bihar STET Admit Card Step by Step
Downloading your Bihar STET admit card takes only a few minutes. Follow these steps from 12 November if your paper is on 22 November:
- Open the official portal. Go to stetregistration.cbrt.co.in on your phone or computer.
- Find the admit card link. On the home page, look for the STET 2026 admit card download link.
- Enter your login details. Type your application/registration number and password (or whatever details the login page asks for).
- Submit and view. Your admit card will appear on screen.
- Check every detail. Before you download, make sure the exam date shows 22 November 2026 if your paper was moved from 11 November.
- Download and print. Save the PDF and print it clearly.
If you've forgotten your login details
Don't panic. This happens to lots of candidates. Look for a "Forgot Password" or recovery option on the login page and follow it. If that doesn't work, use the helpline or contact details on the official portal. Don't wait until the night before the exam to sort this out.
Print more than one copy
- Print at least two copies and keep one in a separate bag or folder.
- Keep the PDF on your phone and in your email as a backup. You can't carry your phone into the exam hall, though.
- Check the printout straight away. The photo and roll number should be easy to read.
- The first day or two after release can be busy, so if the site is slow, try again at a quieter time.
Details to Check on Your Admit Card
As soon as you download your Bihar STET admit card, check it line by line. A mistake is far easier to fix now than at the centre gate.
Personal details
- Your name, spelled exactly as on your photo ID
- Your photograph (clear and recognisable) and your signature, if it's shown
- Registration number and roll number
- Paper (Paper 1 or Paper 2) and your subject
Exam details
- Exam date: it must say 22 November 2026 if your paper was on 11 November, or 21 November 2026 if it was on 4 November
- Shift and exam time
- Reporting time, and gate-closing time if it's printed
- Exam centre name and full address
If something is wrong
If your name, photo, paper, subject or date is wrong, contact BSEB right away through the helpline or contact details on the official STET portal. Keep a screenshot of the error and a copy of your application form. Don't try to correct anything on the printed admit card by hand.
What to Carry to the Exam Centre
Pack your bag the night before so the exam morning is calm. These two things are a must:
- A printed copy of your admit card. Bring the new one if your date changed.
- A valid original photo ID, such as an Aadhaar card or PAN card. The name should match your admit card.
BSEB's instructions for this year say candidates won't be allowed in without the admit card and a valid photo ID.
Other items
Bring anything else only if your admit card's instructions ask for it, such as an extra passport-size photograph. Read the instructions printed on your admit card carefully, because they are the final word for your exam day.
What you can't take inside
In past STET exams, BSEB has not allowed these items in the exam centre:
- Books, notebooks and loose papers
- Calculators and calculator watches
- Mobile phones, pagers and any other electronic devices
The 2026 rules are printed on your admit card, so check them there. If you're not sure about something, leave it at home.
Exam Day Guidelines and Final Preparation
On the exam day
- Reach early. Arrive well before the reporting time on your admit card. Entry checks and ID checks take time.
- Visit the centre beforehand if you can, or at least check the route a day before.
- Follow the invigilators' instructions and the rules for the computer-based test.
- Stay calm. Read each question carefully and manage your time.
Make the most of the extra days
If your paper moved to 21 or 22 November, you have extra time to prepare. Use it well:
- Revise your weak areas first. Go back to the topics where you lose the most marks.
- Take timed mock tests. Practising in exam conditions builds speed and confidence for a computer-based paper.
- Review your mistakes. After every mock, spend time on the questions you got wrong.
- Look after yourself. Get enough sleep and eat on time, especially in the last few days.
