Eligibility And Pass Marks

General category candidates need at least 60 percent marks. Backward class, extremely backward class, and general category female candidates need 55 percent marks. Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and disabled category candidates need a minimum of 50 percent marks. For STET Paper-I and Paper-II qualifiers, the rules decided during the test by the Bihar School Examination Board will apply. All male and female candidates coming from outside the state will be treated as general category candidates.

Context
