09. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. I belong to a reserved category from another state (not Bihar). Can I apply and claim reservation benefits?
No. All reservation benefits — including SC/ST/BC/EBC/EWS categories and the 35% women’s horizontal reservation — are applicable only to domicile/native residents (मूल निवासी) of Bihar State. Candidates belonging to reserved categories from other states must apply as Unreserved (General) candidates. If they declare a reserved category in their application, their application will be rejected and they may face legal action. Such candidates will also be subject to the age limit applicable to Unreserved candidates.
Q2. Is there negative marking in the examination? How does it work?
Yes. There is negative marking of 0.2 marks deducted per incorrect answer in both the Preliminary Examination and the Mains Examination (both papers). If you leave a question unanswered, no marks are deducted. It is advisable to attempt questions only when reasonably confident — a wrong answer costs 0.2 marks while a correct answer earns 2 marks (as each paper is 200 marks for 100 questions). Both copies of the answer booklet must be submitted — one copy is retained by the Commission for record.
Q3. Are marks from the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) added to the final merit list?
No. The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) is qualifying in nature only. Marks from PET are not added to the final merit list. The final merit list for appointment is prepared based solely on Mains Paper II (General Studies) marks — in merit order, category-wise. Similarly, the marks from Mains Paper I (General Hindi) are also not included in the merit list — Hindi paper is only a qualifying test. This means your rank depends entirely on your performance in the Mains General Studies paper.
Q4. Are marks from the Preliminary Exam added to the Mains or final merit?
No. Preliminary Exam marks are used only for shortlisting candidates for the Mains examination. Candidates equal to 20 times the vacancies are shortlisted (category-wise) based on Preliminary marks. Once shortlisted, the Preliminary marks are not carried forward — the final merit list is based entirely on Mains Paper II marks. Preliminary marks are thus not added to the Mains or final merit list in any manner.
Q5. I failed the running event in PET. Can I attempt the other events (High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put)?
No. Candidates who fail to complete the Running event within the stipulated time (6 min 30 sec for men, 6 minutes for women) will be declared disqualified and will not be allowed to participate in the remaining PET events. All 4 PET events must be passed separately and in sequence. For High Jump, Long Jump, and Shot Put events, a maximum of 3 attempts is provided.
Q6. My EWS certificate is from financial year 2024-25. Is it valid for this recruitment?
As per the notification, for EWS reservation, the certificate must be based on income and assets for financial year 2025-2026. Only certificates issued by the competent authority on the basis of FY 2025-26 income/asset details — and in the format prescribed as per the Bihar General Administration Department letter No. 5622 dated 24-03-2026 — will be accepted. Older certificates from FY 2024-25 or earlier may not be valid. Married women from EWS category should ensure the EWS income/property certificate is in their favour (not solely in husband’s name).
Q7. Can I submit more than one application form for this post?
No — absolutely not. Only one online application per candidate is permitted. Only one application can be submitted per mobile number. If any candidate submits more than one application (including with different names or addresses), all their applications will be rejected and BPSSC may initiate legal proceedings against such candidates. If you believe your already-submitted application has incorrect information, you may use the Cancellation (रद्दीकरण) feature to cancel it — but the fee already paid will not be refunded and you will need to pay again for a new application.
Q8. I am a Third Gender (Kinnar/Kothhi/Hijra/Transgender) candidate. What are my standards and reservation benefits?
Third Gender (Kinnar/Kothhi/Hijra/Transgender) candidates are eligible to apply. Their physical standards and PET standards are the same as Backward Class (BC) candidates. For reservation, they are separately included in the OBC (Backward Class) list at Serial No. 47 as per the Bihar Reservation Act 1991. As per Bihar Government letter dated 02-04-2025, their gender identity will be determined by the identity certificate issued by the District Magistrate in Form-3 as per the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules, 2020 — the category assigned will be as per the gender mentioned in that certificate.
10. Documents Required (for Document Verification Stage)
