The Bihar Education Project Council is implementing a new dress code and specific identity cards for 534 model schools across the state, including 16 schools in Bhagalpur. This initiative aims to give these institutions a unique identity and improve the academic environment. A Project Management Unit (PMU) has been established to oversee the smooth functioning of these schools and will hold weekly review meetings every Wednesday.

Teacher Recruitment and Enrollment Targets
The state government has set a target of enrolling 45 students per section in class 9 for each model school. To achieve this, a re-entrance exam is scheduled for April 10, with a special focus on increasing girl student enrollment. For teachers, the application deadline for model school positions ended on April 6. Selection will be managed at the district level by a committee chaired by the Deputy Development Commissioner (DDC) through the E-Shiksha Kosh portal.

Infrastructure Standards and Future Timeline
Specific guidelines have been issued for the infrastructure of these model schools. Toilets, especially for girl students, must be constructed in secluded and safe locations within the school premises rather than directly in front of classrooms. These schools are being designed to provide smart classes, laboratories, and libraries, along with specialized coaching for JEE and NEET from class 9 onwards. Regular academic sessions in these modern facilities are expected to commence from April 2026.
- Design for new uniforms will be finalized by the Bihar Education Project Council.
- Teachers and students will receive unique ID cards for better campus management.
- District Education Officers are responsible for ensuring infrastructure compliance.
- State Education and Training Council (SCERT) will conduct the April 10 entrance exam.
