Reservation
Only people who live permanently in Bihar get reservation. Applicants from other states are placed in the unreserved category. The Bihar government’s reservation rules, as updated from time to time, apply, including horizontal reservation (a share kept inside a category, such as for women).
More Than One Post
Fill a separate online application for each post you want.
Experience That Counts
Only experience gained after you got the essential qualification, and before 30.09.2026.
Existing Corporation Staff
Current employees of the Corporation who meet the post’s qualification can apply. They get age relaxation under the Bihar General Administration Department rules (letter no. 12534 dated 17.09.2018).
Category
Maximum Age
Unreserved (UR), men
37 years
Unreserved (UR), women
40 years
Backward Class (BC) and Extremely Backward Class (EBC), men and women
40 years
Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST), men and women
42 years
So a woman from the general category can apply up to age 40, but a man from the general category must be 37 or younger on 30.09.2026.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the 30.09.2026 cut-off date to see instantly whether you fall inside the limit for your category (37 to 42 years).
Up to 85 marks, worked out from the details in your online form. Up to 50 marks come from the percentage you scored in the essential qualification. Up to 10 marks come from an extra, higher qualification in subjects related to women. Up to 25 marks come from experience in government or government-linked offices only: 5 marks for each year beyond the required experience. NGO experience gets no marks.
Stage 2: Merit list and shortlisting
A merit list (a ranked list by marks) is made from Stage 1. At least 5 times as many candidates as there are posts, category by category, are shortlisted for a written exam, counselling or interview. The Corporation can hold a written exam if it needs to.
Stage 3: Counselling / Interview
The interview carries 15 marks. Counselling is the meeting where your claimed marks and original documents are checked. A false claim cancels your candidature.
Stage 4: Final selection
Based on total marks out of 100 and the recommendation of the selection committee. If two candidates have the same marks, the older one is preferred.
In short: most of the marks come from your papers, meaning your degree marks, extra qualification and government experience. Only a small part comes from the interview, so your documents carry the most weight.
