The recruitment of 6,421 school assistants by the Bihar Education Department is part of a major push by the Nitish Kumar government ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections to address the opposition’s charge of growing unemployment in the state.
The move is seen as a strategic step to strengthen the party’s position by addressing employment needs in the education sector. These school assistant posts are specifically for non-teaching candidates.
In addition to this, the Education Department is planning to conduct Teachers Recruitment Examination 4 in the coming months, further expanding employment opportunities within the education system.
