According to a report by Patrika, the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has declared August 26, 2025 as the examination date for the state's Diploma in Elementary Education entrance test.
The announcement came through an official notice from BSEB on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, confirming that the combined entrance examination for DElEd admissions will take place in Computer-Based Test format at selected examination centers across the state.
The entrance test will be entirely computer-based, with admit cards set to be uploaded to the board's website soon.
These digital hall tickets will include comprehensive details including examination center location, reporting time, gate closure timings, exam duration, and essential guidelines for candidates.
