Bihar Police Constable Recruitment 2025: A Gateway to a Rewarding Career in Law Enforcement

 
In the heart of India’s eastern region, Bihar continues to shine as a beacon of opportunity for those aspiring to serve in law enforcement. The Central Selection Board of Constables (CSBC) has ignited excitement across the state with its Bihar Police Constable Recruitment 2025 drive, announced under Advertisement No. 01/2025. This recruitment initiative aims to fill an impressive 19,838 vacancies across the Bihar Police and Bihar Special Armed Police forces. With the recent declaration of the written exam results on September 26, 2025, thousands of candidates are now preparing for the next phase of their journey toward wearing the khaki uniform.

This large-scale recruitment is part of Bihar's continued efforts to strengthen its law enforcement apparatus, responding to growing public safety needs. These vacancies represent much more than just jobs—they are a chance to serve the community, uphold justice, and contribute to the state's broader development goals. Given the rising youth unemployment rate, such initiatives offer a stable career path, with competitive salaries starting at ₹21,700 per month, along with allowances, housing, and medical benefits under the 7th Pay Commission.

Written Examination: A Rigorous Selection Process

The first stage of selection was the written examination, conducted over multiple dates: July 16, 20, 23, 27, 30, and August 3, 2025. The exam consisted of 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering subjects such as:

Hindi

English

Mathematics

Social Science

General Science

General Knowledge

Current Affairs


The examination was OMR-based, with a two-hour duration. Each wrong answer resulted in a penalty of 0.2 marks. To qualify, candidates were required to score at least 30% in the written test.

Admit cards for the examination were available for download from June 12, 2025, although some exam centers were subject to minor changes due to weather-related disruptions.

Shortlisting for Physical Standards and Efficiency Tests

Following the written exam, the result announcement on September 26, 2025 marked a critical milestone in the recruitment process. Around 1.5 lakh candidates were shortlisted to appear for the Physical Standards Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET).

Physical Standards Test (PST)

The PST will verify the height, chest measurements (for male candidates), and weight of applicants to ensure they meet the physical criteria.


Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

This test comprises a series of physical tasks designed to assess stamina, strength, and endurance.

Male candidates must complete:

1 km run in under 5 minutes,

A 13-foot long jump,

A 12-pound shot put thrown over 16 feet.


Female candidates must complete:

1 km run in under 4.5 minutes,

A long jump and other challenges adjusted for their gender.

The shot put event is a key component, where high standards are set to ensure that only the fittest candidates move forward to the next phase, which includes medical checks and document verification.

Preparation for the Next Steps

For those who have made it to the next stage, focused preparation is essential. Candidates should concentrate on building stamina through daily runs, strength training, and revisiting core subjects that could be critical during tie-breaker scenarios. Maintaining proper nutrition and hydration, along with participating in mock tests, can make a significant difference in performance.

Candidates are advised to keep checking the official website for updates, as the PET schedule is expected to be released in October 2025.
