700 Schools Built for Competitive Exam Success
The centerpiece of the announcement is the plan to develop around 700 Saraswati Vidya Niketan Model Schools across Bihar, specifically designed to give students the facilities and academic support needed to prepare for NEET and JEE. Choudhary added that live online teachers would be made available round-the-clock, benefiting both hostel students and those commuting from home — a move aimed at leveling the playing field for students regardless of location.
AI Training and a New Teacher’s University
With over seven lakh teachers working across Bihar’s education system, the government is establishing a dedicated Teacher Training University to improve instruction quality from primary school through engineering and polytechnic institutes. Notably, an MoU was signed between Bihar’s Education Department and Google during the event, part of a broader push to train teachers in AI and modern classroom technologies alongside partnerships with Microsoft and Sarvam AI.
Faster Results, Fairer Exams
On the examination front, Choudhary outlined plans to release matriculation results within seven days of exam completion, with dissatisfied students allowed to reappear within 15 days. Engineering and polytechnic results are targeted for release within 24 hours. A committee led by a sitting High Court judge has also been formed to recommend structural reforms to the exam system.
Progress on Dropout Rates
The CM highlighted major gains in retention, noting the primary-level dropout rate fell from around 46% in 2004-05 to just 2% in 2024-25, with similar sharp declines at the secondary and higher secondary levels. Learn more about India’s broader education framework on Wikipedia.
