How to Apply
- 1. Submitting the information:

Exam Pattern
- 1. Main written examination:
- Held on 22-07-2018 in two shifts - first shift Hindi, second shift General Studies.
Selection Process
- 1. Original recruitment:
- In the light of Home Department (Police Branch), Government of Bihar notification No. 4/B1-101/2004-7025 dated 30 August 2017 and Police Headquarters letter No. 50/326201/P-2 dated 05.09.2017, the Commission published Advertisement No. 01/2017 on 16.09.2017 for appointment to 1,717 vacant posts of Police Sub-Inspector in the Bihar Police. After the selection process was completed, the selection list finally selecting 1,665 Police Sub-Inspectors was published on 09.03.2019.
- 2. The grievance:
- Under that advertisement some women candidates who were found to be pregnant were not given the opportunity to take part in the physical measurement and examination test.
- 3. Court order:
- One of those women candidates, the petitioner, filed Civil Appeal No. 7661/2019 (arising out of Special Leave Petition No. 14225/2019) in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. By an order dated 27.09.2019 the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed that the physical measurement and examination test be conducted for all such women candidates of Advertisement No. 01/2017 who had been unable to take part in it because they were pregnant.
- 4. Compliance:
- In compliance with that order the Commission contacted all 85 such women candidates of Advertisement No. 01/2017 by telephone and e-mail and informed them that their physical measurement and examination test would be conducted on 01.01.2021.
- 5. Conduct of the test on 01.01.2021:
- The physical measurement and examination test of the women candidates was conducted on 01.01.2021 under the programme decided above. Of the 85 women candidates, 74 appeared for the physical test (PET). Of these, one woman candidate was found by the doctor not to be fit for the PET because she was pregnant. The physical measurement and examination test of the remaining 73 women candidates was conducted, in which 50 failed in the run and 23 passed. After the physical measurement test and the verification of records of the 23 candidates who passed the run, a total of 4 (four) candidates were successful.
- 6. Redetermination of merit:
- The merit of the above 4 (four) successful candidates was determined on the basis of the marks they obtained in the main examination of Advertisement No. 01/2017 and the cut-off marks of their own category.
- 7. Two candidates unsuccessful:
- Two candidates, one of them the petitioner, obtained marks lower than the cut-off marks of their own category and were therefore unsuccessful.
- 8. Two candidates finally selected:
- The remaining two candidates obtained marks higher than the cut-off marks of their own category and were therefore successful, and are accordingly finally selected. The original reservation category of both of them is Extremely Backward Class.
- 9. Appointment against Advertisement No. 01/2019:
- In accordance with the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court the selected candidates are to be appointed against the vacancies of the post of Police Sub-Inspector advertised in the Commission's Advertisement No. 01/2019. Both are therefore adjusted against the vacancies advertised there for women of the Extremely Backward Class. The number of vacancies advertised for Extremely Backward Class women under the post of Police Sub-Inspector is 131, against which the two candidates are adjusted, so that after their adjustment the number of Police Sub-Inspector vacancies for Extremely Backward Class women in Advertisement No. 01/2019 will stand at 129.
Admit Card Details
- 1. Admit card for the written examination:
- After the last date for receipt of application forms, all applications are scrutinised and a database of the candidates is prepared, after which admit cards for the written examination are issued to the candidates on their e-mail addresses.
- 2. Examination announcement:
- Proper information regarding the written examination will be given in due course through the newspapers.
Reservation Details
- 1. Grandchildren of freedom fighters - 2 per cent horizontal reservation:
- In the light of Government of Bihar, General Administration Department circular No. 2526 dated 18-02-2016, a 2 (two) per cent horizontal reservation has been provided for the grandsons, granddaughters, daughter's sons and daughter's daughters of the state government's freedom fighters among the 1,717 notified Police Sub-Inspector posts, that is 34 (thirty-four) posts are reserved.
- 2. Declaration of freedom-fighter-descendant status:
- The online application forms filled between 24-10-2017 and 30-11-2017 did not capture which candidates fall in the freedom-fighter-descendant category. Candidates of that category who have already applied must now supply this information online through the application-form link on www.bpssc.bih.nic.in between 08-12-2017 and 14-12-2017.

How to Apply
- 1. Submitting the information:
- Affected candidates must visit the Commission's website, click the link provided there and supply the required information; their application form will then be updated.
Exam Pattern
- 1. Main written examination:
- Held on 22-07-2018 in two shifts - first shift Hindi, second shift General Studies.
Selection Process
- 1. Original recruitment:
- In the light of Home Department (Police Branch), Government of Bihar notification No. 4/B1-101/2004-7025 dated 30 August 2017 and Police Headquarters letter No. 50/326201/P-2 dated 05.09.2017, the Commission published Advertisement No. 01/2017 on 16.09.2017 for appointment to 1,717 vacant posts of Police Sub-Inspector in the Bihar Police. After the selection process was completed, the selection list finally selecting 1,665 Police Sub-Inspectors was published on 09.03.2019.
- 2. The grievance:
- Under that advertisement some women candidates who were found to be pregnant were not given the opportunity to take part in the physical measurement and examination test.
- 3. Court order:
- One of those women candidates, the petitioner, filed Civil Appeal No. 7661/2019 (arising out of Special Leave Petition No. 14225/2019) in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. By an order dated 27.09.2019 the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed that the physical measurement and examination test be conducted for all such women candidates of Advertisement No. 01/2017 who had been unable to take part in it because they were pregnant.
- 4. Compliance:
- In compliance with that order the Commission contacted all 85 such women candidates of Advertisement No. 01/2017 by telephone and e-mail and informed them that their physical measurement and examination test would be conducted on 01.01.2021.
- 5. Conduct of the test on 01.01.2021:
- The physical measurement and examination test of the women candidates was conducted on 01.01.2021 under the programme decided above. Of the 85 women candidates, 74 appeared for the physical test (PET). Of these, one woman candidate was found by the doctor not to be fit for the PET because she was pregnant. The physical measurement and examination test of the remaining 73 women candidates was conducted, in which 50 failed in the run and 23 passed. After the physical measurement test and the verification of records of the 23 candidates who passed the run, a total of 4 (four) candidates were successful.
- 6. Redetermination of merit:
- The merit of the above 4 (four) successful candidates was determined on the basis of the marks they obtained in the main examination of Advertisement No. 01/2017 and the cut-off marks of their own category.
- 7. Two candidates unsuccessful:
- Two candidates, one of them the petitioner, obtained marks lower than the cut-off marks of their own category and were therefore unsuccessful.
- 8. Two candidates finally selected:
- The remaining two candidates obtained marks higher than the cut-off marks of their own category and were therefore successful, and are accordingly finally selected. The original reservation category of both of them is Extremely Backward Class.
- 9. Appointment against Advertisement No. 01/2019:
- In accordance with the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court the selected candidates are to be appointed against the vacancies of the post of Police Sub-Inspector advertised in the Commission's Advertisement No. 01/2019. Both are therefore adjusted against the vacancies advertised there for women of the Extremely Backward Class. The number of vacancies advertised for Extremely Backward Class women under the post of Police Sub-Inspector is 131, against which the two candidates are adjusted, so that after their adjustment the number of Police Sub-Inspector vacancies for Extremely Backward Class women in Advertisement No. 01/2019 will stand at 129.

- After the last date for receipt of application forms, all applications are scrutinised and a database of the candidates is prepared, after which admit cards for the written examination are issued to the candidates on their e-mail addresses.

- Proper information regarding the written examination will be given in due course through the newspapers.
Reservation Details
- 1. Grandchildren of freedom fighters - 2 per cent horizontal reservation:

- 2. Declaration of freedom-fighter-descendant status:
- The online application forms filled between 24-10-2017 and 30-11-2017 did not capture which candidates fall in the freedom-fighter-descendant category.
