- Enter your Date of Birth: Type your Date of Birth in the DD/MM/YYYY format in the designated field. Ensure the date matches exactly what you entered in your application form — not your Aadhaar DOB if they differ.
- Click Login / Submit: Click the login button to access your admit card page. If your credentials are correct, your name and exam details will appear on screen. If the system shows an error, double-check your Application Number and DOB format before retrying.
- Verify all details before downloading: On the admit card screen, verify your name, photograph, date of birth, exam date, exam shift, exam centre address, and subject code. If any detail is incorrect, do not download — contact the BSEB helpdesk immediately at 080-47282787 before downloading an incorrect admit card.

- Print at least two copies: Print the admit card on A4 white paper using a clear (not faded) printer. Carry at least two printed copies to the exam centre on your exam day. Soft copies on mobile phones are not accepted at the examination centre — a printed hard copy is mandatory.
- Carry a valid photo ID to the exam centre: Along with the printed admit card, carry a valid government-issued original photo ID — Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, or PAN card. Both the admit card and the photo ID are mandatory for entry. Candidates without a printed admit card will not be permitted to appear in the examination.

Bihar D.El.Ed 2026 – Career Value & What the Qualification Enables
The 2-year D.El.Ed. (Diploma in Elementary Education) qualification completed from a BSEB/NCTE-recognised institute in Bihar is a mandatory eligibility condition for appointment as a Primary Teacher (Class 1–8) in Government schools in Bihar under the Right to Education Act. Without D.El.Ed. (or its equivalent B.El.Ed.), a candidate cannot appear in Bihar's primary teacher recruitment examinations.
After completing D.El.Ed. 2026–28, graduates become eligible for:
| Exam / Opportunity | Details |
|---|---|
| Bihar STET (State Teacher Eligibility Test) | State-level teacher eligibility certification for Classes 1–8 in Bihar government schools — conducted by BSEB |
| CTET Paper 1 (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) | National-level teacher eligibility for Classes 1–5 — conducted by CBSE; D.El.Ed. makes the holder eligible to appear in CTET Paper 1 |
| Bihar Primary Teacher Recruitment (Shikshak Niyojan) | Bihar government periodically conducts direct recruitment for primary teachers in all 38 districts; D.El.Ed. + STET/CTET qualification is the mandatory prerequisite |
| Private School Teaching (Primary Level) | D.El.Ed. is the recognised qualification for primary teaching roles in CBSE/ICSE and state board private schools |
Bihar's government primary teacher salary under the 7th Pay Commission is at Pay Level 6 (₹35,400 initial basic pay), with in-hand salary approximately ₹45,000–₹52,000 per month in Bihar depending on posting district, HRA, and applicable allowances. D.El.Ed. + Bihar STET / CTET is thus a direct pathway to a permanent state government teaching career for Class 12 graduates. The 30,750 seats across 306 institutes represent Bihar's annual intake capacity for this pipeline.
