Alerts and Updates for BPSC TRE Secondary Persian

The paper structure for Persian would be identical to every other secondary subject, so it is not the distinguishing fact. The distinguishing fact is that the class 9-10 vacancy table reported from the advertisement accounts for all 3,877 posts across nine subjects and does not include Persian. Treat that as the position reported by portals reproducing the notification and confirm against the vacancy annexure itself. Read the structure below as the pattern for the written examination, not as a settled number of stages. BPSC's calendar of 14 August 2026 places TRE 4.0 under two-phase PT plus Mains exams; the Chief Minister announced a single-phase exam on 27 August 2026; and BPSC has published no corrigendum resolving the two as of 22 September 2026. The question paper described here is the one candidates must prepare for either way, because a single-phase exam would use it and a two-phase exam would use it as the main paper.

This calendar is common to every subject and every level of TRE 4.0; there is no separate Persian schedule. The last row matters specifically for Persian, because a corrigendum is the only route by which class 9-10 Persian posts could enter this cycle after the advertisement.

Most Persian candidates arrive at this cycle assuming the subject is on the class 9-10 table because it was on the class 9-10 results list in TRE 3.0. The reported vacancy annexure of Advertisement 14/2026 does not carry a Persian line, and the nine subjects that are listed already exhaust all 3,877 secondary posts. Establishing whether a post exists comes before any preparation decision.

Three independent reproductions of the secondary vacancy table give the same nine figures: Social Science 756, English 696, Urdu 660, Mathematics 570, Science 463, Hindi 361, Sanskrit 322, Physical Education 47 and Music 2. Those sum to 3,877, which is the published class 9-10 total. There is no residue for Persian, Arabic, Bangla, Maithili, Dance or Fine Arts, even though all of them appear in the subject option list. Career Power states the point explicitly, that Persian is not listed among secondary teacher positions and appears in the class 11-12 brackets instead. That is a coaching-portal reading of the notification and should be checked against the vacancy annexure, but it is consistent across sources and internally consistent with the total.

When BPSC declared the TRE 3.0 class 9-10 results on 17 December 2024, the subject list covered by those results included English, Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, Persian, Sanskrit, Arabic, Science, Mathematics, Social Science, Physical Education, Dance, Maithili, Lalit Kala and Music. So a class 9-10 Persian cadre exists in Bihar and has been recruited to within the last two years. The absence of a line this cycle is most plausibly a statement about how many sanctioned Persian posts remain vacant, not about the subject being withdrawn. For a candidate that distinction changes the strategy from abandoning the subject to waiting for the next cycle or a corrigendum.

The class 11-12 table holds 16,101 of the 32,388 posts, more than four times the secondary block, and is where Career Power places Persian for this cycle. Higher secondary posts require post-graduation in the subject rather than graduation and sit on a separate vacancy table and a separate paper, so a Persian graduate with a master's degree has a materially different application available. The other route worth pricing is Urdu, which carries 660 secondary posts, the third largest block: many Persian graduates in Bihar hold the Urdu qualifications that clause would require, and that is the largest minority-language opening in the class 9-10 table by a wide margin.

If a Persian paper is set, it runs on the common secondary scheme. Part I is 30 language questions in English plus Hindi, Urdu or Bangla, qualifying only at a reported 30 per cent; Part II is 40 general studies questions on elementary mathematics, reasoning, general science, social studies, geography and the Indian national movement; Part III is 80 questions on Persian at graduation level, covering grammar, classical and modern literature, comprehension and translation. Five options run from A to E and a wrong answer costs one-third of a mark, so on a language paper where two options can usually be eliminated, attempting is worthwhile; blind guessing across five options is not.

Career Power's TRE 3.0 secondary cut-off compilation covers Mathematics at 102, Hindi 87, Social Science 83, Urdu 80 and Science 73 for unreserved candidates and states that Persian, Music and Physical Education figures are not available. Small-vacancy language subjects do not track the general pattern: with a handful of posts the cut-off is set by the top few scripts and moves sharply between cycles. The only documented floor is the category minimum reported for TRE 4.0, at 40 per cent for general, 36.5 per cent BC, 34 per cent EBC and 32 per cent for SC, ST, women and persons with disabilities.
