Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Reaching the Bihar Veterinary College ground without a printed admit card – the notice states plainly that no candidate will be allowed in without a valid admit card.
- Assuming the PST date can be shifted – attendance on 12.09.2026 is compulsory, and CSBC has said no second opportunity and no extension of time will be given for any reason.
- Carrying photocopies alone – document verification happens the same day, so every certificate must be produced in original with one self-attested photocopy set.
- BC and EBC candidates bringing a Non-Creamy Layer certificate issued more than a year ago without the Form XVIIIB declaration attached to it.
- Married women in reserved categories carrying a caste or NCL certificate issued in the husband’s name – the advertisement requires it to be issued in the father’s name and address.
- Expecting some concession in height, chest or weight – the prescribed physical standards carry no relaxation, and failing them ends the candidature at this stage.
