📝 About This Recruitment

Bihar Police Sub-ordinate Service Commission (BPSSC) released Advertisement No. 05/2026 on 28 April 2026 for the recruitment of 122 Havildar Instructor posts under the Bihar Home Department. Applications opened on 1 May 2026 and will remain open until 1 June 2026 — giving candidates a 31-day window to apply online at bpssc.bihar.gov.in.

The post of Havildar Instructor falls under the Home Guard wing of Bihar's Home Department. It is a permanent state government position with Pay Matrix Level-4 benefits. Havildar Instructors are responsible for training and managing Home Guard personnel — a role that requires both physical fitness and administrative capability.

The minimum educational qualification is Intermediate (10+2) or equivalent from any recognized Indian board — any stream is acceptable. The age limit is flexible: 18–37 years for General/EWS male candidates, up to 40 years for General/EWS female and BC/EBC candidates, and up to 42 years for SC/ST candidates — all calculated as on 01 August 2025.

The application fee is a flat ₹100 for all categories — no exemptions. Payment must be made online by 1 June 2026. The selection process has 5 stages: Written Examination → PET (Physical Efficiency Test) → PMT (Physical Measurement Test) → Document Verification → Medical Examination. The written exam score determines merit rank — only written qualifiers proceed to physical tests.

Physical requirements are strict: Male candidates (UR/BC/EBC) need a minimum height of 165 cm and chest of 81–86 cm. SC/ST male candidates need 160 cm height and 79–84 cm chest. Female candidates across all categories need 155 cm height and minimum 48 kg weight. PET events include running (1 mile in 6 min for males), high jump, and shot put (Gola Fek).

ResultDekho's view: 122 posts is a relatively small intake for Bihar Police — competition will be intense. However, the age limit going up to 42 years (SC/ST) gives older candidates a genuine window. The fee is negligible at ₹100. If you are 12th pass, physically fit, Bihar domicile, and have been preparing for Bihar Police exams, this is a must-apply. Start physical training immediately alongside written exam preparation — both run parallel in this recruitment.

⚠️ Critical Instructions

• Age calculated on 01 August 2025— not the date of application or exam. Verify your exact age against this date from your 10th certificate or birth certificate.

• Application fee ₹100 applies to all categories including SC/ST— no exemption. Verify this on official notification before assuming any waiver.

• PST (height/chest/weight) failure = immediate elimination. Measure yourself against standards before applying — no point applying if minimum height not met.

• Only 122 posts— small intake means every rank point matters. Written exam preparation quality directly determines your chance of qualifying PET/PMT.

• Bihar GK carries high weight in Bihar Police written exams. Use a dedicated Bihar GK book and cover last 6 months current affairs specifically related to Bihar.

• Wide age limit up to 42 years (SC/ST) is a significant advantage for older candidates — one of the more generous upper age limits in Bihar Police recruitment.

• Applications are live today (1 May 2026). Apply early — avoid last-day technical issues. Keep scanned documents (photo, signature, 12th certificate) ready for upload.
