Eligibility Criteria
| Criterion | Detail |
|---|---|
| Educational Qualification | Matric (10th pass) or equivalent from a board recognised by the state or central government. You must pass by 06.12.2026. |
| Nationality | You must be an Indian citizen. |
| Age Limit | At least 18 years as on 01.08.2026, counted from the date of birth on your Matric certificate. The upper limit depends on category. Check your age eligibility → |
| Reservation Benefit | Only for candidates whose permanent address is in Bihar. People from other states get no reservation. |
| Claiming Reservation | You must claim it in the online form. If you do not, you will not get the benefit. |
| Certificates: SC and ST | Caste certificate and domicile certificate (proof of permanent residence). |
| Certificates: BC and EBC | Caste, domicile and non-creamy-layer certificate (it shows you are not in the better-off “creamy layer”). |
| Certificate: EWS | Income and asset certificate in the Schedule-1 (Form-1) format of the Bihar government notice. |
| Who Issues Certificates | The Circle Officer (Anchaladhikari) of your permanent address area, as notified by the Bihar government. |
| Certificates for Women | Married or unmarried, a woman’s caste and non-creamy-layer certificates must come from her father’s permanent address. |
| Change of Category | Once the recruitment has started, a reservation category cannot be changed. |
| Not Allowed to Sit | Anyone banned from exams by a selection commission for malpractice, for the period of the ban. |
Maximum Age by Category
| Category | Maximum Age (as on 01.08.2026) |
|---|---|
| General (Unreserved) men | 37 years |
| General women, BC and EBC (men and women) | 40 years |
| SC and ST (men and women) | 42 years |
Extra Age Relaxation
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| Regular Bihar government employees | 5 years, only if you have not already used 5 attempts under this relaxation. |
| Persons with disability (Divyang) | 10 years above the maximum age. The certificate must be valid till the last date to apply. |
| Ex-servicemen | 3 years plus the years served in defence, if your actual age is not above 57 on the day you apply. |
| Proof for relaxation | A certificate from the competent authority is compulsory for every relaxation you claim. |
So a 39-year-old man from the BC or EBC category can apply, but a 39-year-old man from the General category cannot, because his limit is 37 years.
Who Should Apply
- This is a direct-recruitment post at Pay Level-1, which means it is filled by open selection and not by promotion. A Matric certificate is enough, so you do not need a graduate degree.
- Selection is mainly an interview of 100 marks, so be ready for an interview and not just a written test. A written OMR test comes first only if more than 40,000 people apply.
- The 5 posts are spread over four categories: 1 General, 1 ST, 1 EBC and 2 BC. Check your own category in the table before you pay the fee, because the fee is not refunded.
- Women get 3 of the 5 posts under the 35% reservation, and Bihar-resident women pay only Rs 100.
- If you live outside Bihar, you can apply, but you get no reservation benefit and you pay Rs 400.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Preliminary OMR test (only if needed) | Held only if more than 40,000 candidates apply. It is a multiple-choice test answered by filling bubbles on an OMR sheet. |
| After the OMR test | About 10 times the number of posts are called for interview: those who reach the cut-off score (minimum marks) set by the Secretariat. |
| Interview | 100 marks. The merit list (ranked list of selected candidates) is made from these marks. Schedule: Vidhan Sabha website. |
| Minimum Interview Marks | General 40%, BC 36.5%, EBC 34%. SC, ST, women and disabled (Divyang) candidates need 32%. If you fall short, you are out. |
| Tie Between Candidates | With equal marks, the older candidate ranks higher. With equal marks and the same birth date, the higher qualification ranks higher. |
| Last Tie-breaker | If still tied, the name order in the Devanagari alphabet, as printed on the 10th board certificate. |
In short: the interview decides your rank. The OMR test comes first only if more than 40,000 people apply, and you must also score at least the minimum interview percentage for your category.
Salary and Benefits
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pay Level | Level-1 (the government pay grade for this post) |
| Pay Range | Rs 18,000 to Rs 56,900 a month |
| Allowances | Other allowances as admissible under the rules (the notice does not list them) |
In plain terms, the lower figure, Rs 18,000, is where the pay starts before allowances are added. The notice does not say which allowances you will get.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not claim reservation without the right certificate in hand. The notice says a claim with an error will not be accepted.
- Fill the form with care. The Secretariat will not consider any change after you submit, and a mismatch with your original documents cancels your candidature.
- Use your own mobile number and email ID, and save your user name and password until the final result is out.
- Do not wait for the last day. The Secretariat is not responsible for internet or bank problems or a failed payment, and it gives no extra time to fix them.
- If you claim SC or ST benefit and pay the lower fee, you must be able to show a valid certificate later. Without it, you can be disqualified. Paying the General fee instead keeps your candidature safe on this point.
- Do not send paper or hand-written forms. Only the online form counts.
