The Bihar STET 2026 admit card was set for release on 18 October 2026 at 7 pm, and the BSEB candidate portal now shows admit cards as released. You download it with your application number and password. Once admit cards are issued, details can no longer be corrected, so check every line as soon as you open it.
Need another print of your photo to paste? The application photo was 80-200KB, and the photo resizer can bring a file under a KB limit with an optional minimum. Paste a photo of the same size as the one you uploaded, as the card instructs.
Where and how to download
- Open stetregistration.cbrt.co.in and press Login.
- Enter your application number and password from registration.
- Open the admit card option and download the PDF.
- Print it in colour.
If the page says the application number or password is incorrect, try the forgot password option on the same login page. The portal helpdesk is +91 8047282787 and bseb.support@cbrt.co.in. The portal lists its hours (9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday) for the registration period, so confirm they still apply.
Dummy admit card or real admit card
The dummy card was only a preview to fix mistakes, and that window is over. The real e-admit card carries your centre, date and shift, and it is the only one that counts. If your login shows nothing yet, the card may not be issued for your account, so try again later and call the helpdesk if it stays blank. Our dummy admit card guide explains what could be changed earlier.
What to check on the admit card
- Name, father's name and date of birth match your certificates.
- Photograph and signature are yours and clear.
- Paper, subject, date, shift and centre address.
- Reporting time against the shift table below.
A spelling mistake in the name is the worry most people have. The portal says details cannot be corrected after issue, and that the date, time and centre printed on the card will not be changed on request. Carry your original photo ID and, if the spelling differs from it, contact the helpdesk before the exam day instead of arguing at the gate.

What to carry and what to leave at home
Bring the colour printout, an original government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence, passport, PAN or a bank passbook or ration card with your photo) and a ball point pen. A photocopy or scan of the ID is not accepted.
Leave phones, watches, calculators, earphones, bags and wallets outside. Wear slippers, since shoes and socks are not allowed inside. Mehndi, ink or nail polish on the fingers causes trouble at biometric attendance.
Paste a photo of the same size you uploaded in the space on the admit card. Do not write anything on the QR code. The original admit card is collected at the centre after the exam, so keep a photocopy for later stages.
The test and the computer-based format
The test is on computer, 150 minutes, with one mark per question and no negative marking. The login ID and password are given at your seat 10 minutes before the start, and you cannot leave the hall during the test. Practice first on the mock test at bsebstet.cbrt.co.in.
If another exam falls on the same day
Compare the date and shift printed on your STET admit card with the other exam's admit card. The BSEB instructions say no request to change the date, time or centre printed on the card will be considered, so a shift swap is not on offer. Whether the other exam body can move its paper is for that body to say, so check its official notice or helpdesk early.
Exam day and photo problems
If your photo was rejected earlier because of size, remember the upload limits were 80-200KB for the photo and 50-200KB for the signature. The signature resizer helps with the second one.
Checklist for the night before
- Colour print of the admit card with the photo pasted.
- Original photo ID and a ball point pen.
- Centre route checked the day before.
- Reporting time worked out from your shift.
