Bihar to Conduct TRE-4 Exam in Single Phase, Announces Examination Reforms
Following a 10-day protest by teacher aspirants, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced that the upcoming Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-4) will be conducted in a single phase, replacing the earlier two-stage format. The government also established an expert committee, chaired by a Patna High Court judge, to recommend examination reforms and address student grievances. Additional measures include launching portals for complaint resolution and reviewing recruitment procedures, with further action planned on the 'one candidate, one result' policy to prevent seat wastage.
