The Central Selection Board of Constables (CSBC) has announced an extension for the application deadline for the Bihar Police Constable recruitment examination 2025. Candidates now have until April 25, 2025, at 11:59 PM to submit their applications for a total of 19,838 vacancies in the Bihar Police and Bihar Special Armed Police.
Initially, the deadline was set for April 18, 2025, but due to a significant number of bank holidays in April, including public holidays and closures under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, CSBC decided to extend the application period to accommodate applicants. This decision aims to alleviate any technical or scheduling difficulties that may arise from institutional holidays.
Online applications for the recruitment drive commenced on March 18, 2025, and are intended for candidates who have completed Class 12 or possess an equivalent qualification. The recruitment process will consist of two phases: a written examination followed by a Physical Efficiency Test (PET). In the written exam, candidates will be required to answer 100 objective-type questions within a two-hour timeframe, with each question carrying one mark. Importantly, for every available post, five top-performing candidates from the written exam will be shortlisted based on merit.
