The Bihar government is set to kick off one of the largest combined police recruitment drives in recent history, with two separate selection boards initiating their application processes within days of each other. The Bihar Staff Selection Board (CSBC) will open applications tomorrow for a staggering 8,415 constable positions across the state police force, while the Bihar Provincial Subordinate Services Commission (BPSSC) has begun its own recruitment cycle for 2,213 sergeant and sub-inspector vacancies — bringing the total number of openings to more than 10,600 posts.
The CSBC recruitment is perhaps the most anticipated among youth in Bihar, as constable positions are among the most sought-after government jobs in the state. With over eight thousand vacancies, this drive is expected to attract millions of applicants from across Bihar and neighbouring states. Candidates are advised to apply through the official CSBC portal before the last date.
Meanwhile, the BPSSC recruitment opened earlier this week for the 2,213 combined posts of sergeant and sub-inspector — mid-level leadership positions in the Bihar Police that serve as critical career progression points for personnel already serving in the force, as well as fresh recruits meeting the required educational and physical criteria. The dual notification has created significant buzz among employment seekers, with counselling centres and coaching institutes across Patna and other districts witnessing heightened footfall.
The Bihar government had earlier acknowledged long-standing vacancies in the police department that have persisted due to delayed recruitment cycles. Officials stated that completing these drives would substantially strengthen law enforcement capacity across the state. Interested candidates can visit the respective official websites — csbc.bih.nic.in for constable posts and bpssc.bihar.gov.in for sergeant and SI vacancies — for detailed eligibility criteria, examination schedules, and application forms.
