The Bihar Police Department has officially announced the recruitment of 496 candidates for the position of Constable under the Bihar Provincial Ground Police Service cadre. The notification was released by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC), which is responsible for conducting the recruitment process on behalf of the state government.
Candidates who wish to apply must submit their applications online through the official website at csbc.bih.nic.in. The application portal has been opened, and aspirants are urged to complete their registration before the deadline expires. Applicants need to pay the prescribed application fee, which varies depending on category — General and OBC candidates are required to pay a higher fee compared to candidates belonging to reserved categories such as SC, ST, and EWS.
The selection process for theConstable post typically involves multiple stages. Candidates will first need to appear for a written examination conducted by the BSSC. Those who clear the written test will then have to face a Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and a Physical Measurement Test (PMT). Candidates who succeed in these rounds will subsequently undergo a thorough medical examination before their final selection is confirmed.
Eligibility criteria require candidates to possess a graduation degree from a recognized university. The upper age limit for General category candidates is typically 28 years, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms. The detailed age relaxation rules follow standard Bihar government regulations, providing additional years of relaxation for SC, ST, and other eligible groups.
This recruitment drive is significant as constable is the most foundational operational rank in the state police force. With thousands of vacancies pending across various police roles in Bihar, filling these positions is seen as a step toward strengthening law enforcement infrastructure in the state. Officials have emphasized that the recruitment will be conducted transparently and in strict accordance with the merit list prepared after the written examination and subsequent tests.
