Bihar Government Agrees to Single-Phase TRE-4 Exam After Student Protests
Following a 10-day protest by teacher aspirants in Bihar, the state government agreed to conduct the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-4) in a single phase, replacing the previously planned two-stage format. The government also accepted the 'one candidate, one result' demand to reduce seat wastage. An expert committee, chaired by a Patna High Court judge, was formed to recommend examination reforms and address student grievances. Additional measures include a student assistance portal and steps to ensure timely recruitment processes across various exams.
