Bihar STET 2025: District-Wise Test City / Exam Centres — What You Need to Know

Known STET Exam Centre List (District-Wise Test City)

While the official detailed list for 2025 is yet to be fully released, sources like rightsaim have shared the Exam Centre List for Bihar STET (for Paper II) which indicates many of the test cities by district. Some common exam centre locations across Bihar include:

• Patna

• Bhojpur

• Nalanda

• Gaya

• Chhapra

• Vaishali

• Muzaffarpur

• Darbhanga

• Aurangabad

• Samastipur

• Bhagalpur

• Purnea / Purnia

• Others as per district allocations 

This list aligns with what Byju’s shows as “List of Exam Centres for Bihar STET.”  Note: Some districts may have multiple test cities, depending on candidate volume, while some remote districts may be merged with neighbouring cities.

For reference, in Bihar STET 2024, the board had designated 61 exam centres across various districts to accommodate test-takers.  That gives an idea of how widespread the coverage may be this year too.

How Test City / Centre Allocation Works

Understanding how your exam centre is decided can help avoid surprises:

1. District / City Preference in Application
   During application, candidates usually enter a district or preferred test city from among available options (or based on their address). The board tries to assign centres within or near their district, subject to availability.

2. Seat Availability & Candidate Load
   If a district has limited infrastructure for a high number of candidates, the board may use nearby cities or merge test centres across districts.

3. Final Allotment via Admit Card / City Slip
   The actual district-wise exam centre list is usually embedded in the admit card or exam city allotment slipreleased before the exam.

4. No changes allowed
   Once your centre is allotted, it’s uncommon to allow switching of exam city or centre, except in exceptional or administrative cases.

STET Exam Date Reminder & Official Updates

• The BSEB has confirmed that Bihar STET 2025 will commence from 14 October 2025 onwards. 

• Admit cards are expected to be issued around 11 October 2025 when the exam centres will also be finalized. 

• The notification clearly mentions: “date, time, and exam centre location for the Bihar STET are mentioned on the hall ticket.” 

Therefore, while we can list probable districts and cities, always rely on the admit card or official BSEB announcements for your exact centre.

What Candidates Must Do: Centre Checklist + Preparations

Here’s what you should do once your exam centre is assigned:

Before the Exam

• Check district / city location immediately on your admit card. If it’s far, plan beforehand.

• Verify the full address / venue of the exam centre (school / college / centre) so you don’t get lost on exam day.

• Check travel time & route: especially if your centre is in another city or far from your residence. Leave in good time to avoid delays.

• Visit the centre (if feasible) one day before so you know route, distance, and expected travel conditions.

• Review reporting time, gate closure time, and other instructions as printed.

On Exam Day

• Arrive early, at least 60–90 minutes before the reporting time.

• Carry admit card, valid photo ID, passport-size photo, and any permitted items only.

• Follow centre rules strictly — no electronic gadgets, no unauthorised books/materials, abide by invigilator instructions.

• Check seating / roll number displayed at centre to confirm the hall and room.

This doesn’t mean these are finalized — always use your admit card for final centre.

Common Centre Allocation Issues & Tips

• Long distance shifting: Some candidates may get test city in a neighbouring district or bigger town. Be mentally prepared.

• Multiple shifts / packed centre: If your centre is very busy, arrive extra early to avoid crowd delays.

• Centre mismatch / error in admit card: In rare cases, if there’s a glaring mismatch (e.g., your district centre but you are far away), approach the STET helpline or BSEB immediately (before exam day).

• Transportation constraints: In rural or remote areas, public transport may be limited at early hours—plan your commute in advance.

Final Note & What to Watch

• The full district-wise exam centre / test city list for 2025 STET will be officially published by BSEB — keep checking secondary.biharboardonline.com or BSEB’s official web portals.

• Your admit card is the definitive document that confirms your test city, centre name/address, shift and reporting time.

• Use any intervening days to reconfirm your route, calculate time, and keep all logistics ready (like travel tickets, ID proofs etc.).

• Avoid relying solely on previews or prior years’ lists — STET 2025 may have some changes in centre allocations
