- The commission has said the exam will be held in two stages (Preliminary and Main) with negative marking.
- The deadline extension followed a Supreme Court order of 1 August 2025 in SLP (Civil) Diary No. 28464/2025.
Always read the full Advt. No. 15/2026 on bpsc.bihar.gov.in before applying. Earlier figures of 46,000+ posts reported in early 2026 were not what was finally advertised.
