The Bihar State Education Department has commenced preparations for the counseling process, slated to commence by the end of April. The counseling for qualified teachers is expected to initiate in the final week of April, subject to approval from the Election Commission.
The counseling process for eligible teachers is set to commence by the end of April, with the Election Commission likely to grant the necessary permission.

Additionally, special educators will be entitled to all benefits and financial perks equivalent to state government employees.
Furthermore, the allocation of schools for the qualified teachers will be done through randomization, ensuring a fair distribution process.
