Qualifying Marks and Certificate Validity
BSEB STET qualifying marks vary by candidate category: General category requires 50%, Backward Classes (BC) need 45.5%, Other Backward Classes (OBC) require 42.5%, while Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Persons with Disability (PwD), and women candidates require 40%. Successfully qualifying candidates receive an eligibility certificate valid for a lifetime, enabling them to apply for teaching positions throughout their career without retaking the examination. The no-negative-marking policy means final scores reflect actual performance without penalty deductions. Candidates not meeting category-wise qualifying marks must appear for future STET examinations.
