🎯 Selection Process

1. Written Competitive Examination ⭐ Qualifying for PET

   Objective MCQ exam. 100 questions · 100 marks · 2 hours. Subjects: General Knowledge & Current Affairs, Hindi, English, Mathematics, Science, Reasoning. Level: Matric (10th) + Intermediate (12th). Written exam is qualifying only — marks not counted in final merit. 5× vacancies shortlisted for PET per category.
   

2. Physical Standard Test (PST) + Physical Efficiency Test (PET) ⭐ Most Critical Stage

   PST (Eliminatory): Height check (Male: 165 cm / SC-ST: 160 cm · Female: 155 cm) + Chest measurement (Male: 81–86 cm / SC-ST: 79–84 cm). Fail = disqualified. PET (100 marks): Running (Male: 1.6 km in 6 min · Female: 1 km in 5 min) + High Jump (Male: 4 ft · Female: 3 ft) + Gola Fek Shot Put (Male: 16 pound/16 ft · Female: 12 pound/12 ft). Final merit based on PET marks.
   

3. Document Verification + Medical Final Stage

   Original documents verified. Medical examination conducted. Final merit list prepared after all stages.

📚 Exam Preparation — Written Test + Physical

ℹ️ Written exam is at 10th/12th level. PET carries 100 marks and decides final merit — this is where selection actually happens. Prepare BOTH simultaneously.

General Knowledge & Current Affairs

• High

• Indian History · Geography · Polity · Bihar GK · Current affairs · Govt schemes · Police/Home Guard related GK

• 💡 Bihar-specific GK typically carries high weight in BPSSC exams. Read Bihar budget + police news.

Hindi Language

• Medium

• Grammar · Comprehension · Vocabulary · Fill in the blanks · Sentence correction

• 💡 10th/12th level Hindi. Standard grammar questions. Practice daily MCQs.

Reasoning & Mental Ability

• Medium

• Analogies · Series · Coding-Decoding · Blood Relations · Direction sense

• 💡 Scoring section. Solve 20 Qs daily for speed. Pattern same as Bihar Police exams.

Physical Fitness Prep

• Critical

• Running (likely 1-1.6 km) · High jump · Long jump · Physical standards

• 💡 Start running daily NOW — PET eliminates unprepared candidates fast. Don't wait for exam date.

⚠️ Critical Instructions

• Written exam is qualifying only— final merit is decided by PET marks (100 marks). Don't over-focus on written at the cost of physical preparation.

• PST (height/chest) is eliminatory — if you don't meet the physical standards, you cannot proceed regardless of written exam performance.

• SC/ST minimum marks: 45% in 10+2 required. General candidates also need 10+2 from recognized board.

• Advt is 05/2026— not 02/2026. These are two separate BPSSC notifications in 2026. Make sure you're applying for the correct one at bpssc.bihar.gov.in.

• Age calculated as on 01 August 2025. OBC/EBC/BC: max 40 yrs. SC/ST: max 42 yrs (Male) / 45 yrs (Female).

• Application window is 31 days (1 May – 1 June 2026) — enough time but apply in first 2 weeks to avoid portal overload.

• Fee is flat ₹100 for all categories— no exemptions. Payment via Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, UPI, or E-Challan.
