Bihar to Conduct Single-Phase Teacher Recruitment Exam After Student Protests
Following a 10-day protest by job aspirants, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced that the upcoming Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-4) will be conducted in a single phase, replacing the previous two-stage process. The government also formed an expert committee, led by a Patna High Court judge, to recommend examination reforms and address student grievances. Additional initiatives include the launch of the Vidyarthi Sahayata Portal and camps to facilitate prompt resolution of student complaints. Protesters agreed to call off their agitation after these commitments.
