The fresh date for the commencement of registration will be announced shortly, the commission said.
"The online applications for the appointment to a total of 32,388 vacant posts of school teachers under the School Teachers Recruitment Examination (TRE-4.0) of the fourth phase under the Education Department, Bihar, which was scheduled to begin on September 1, are postponed due to procedural changes.

TRE 4.0 Application Process Postponed
The postponement of the registration process comes amid protests by teacher aspirants over key demands, including changes to the examination pattern and the introduction of negative marking.
Following discussions with protesting candidates, the state government recently announced that TRE 4.0 would be conducted in a single phase.
TRE 4.0 Vacancy Increased
Following students' demand for an increase in the number of music teacher vacancies, the state government has also increased the number of vacancies by 111. With this addition, the total number of TRE 4.0 vacancies has increased to 33,385.
The revised vacancy details are reportedly expected to be sent to the BPSC so that they can be incorporated into the recruitment advertisement, and the revised vacancy details can be released.
