If you've been eagerly waiting for the next step in the Bihar Police Constable recruitment, I've got some major news for you. The Central Selection Board of Constables (CSBC) has officially announced the schedule for the much-anticipated Physical Efficiency Test (PET). This is the moment many of you have been training for since the written exams back in July and August, and it's finally here!
Key Highlights
- ✓ The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) for the 19,838 Bihar Police Constable posts will begin in December.
- ✓ Admit cards for the PET will be available for download starting November 25, 2025.
- ✓ A massive 16.73 lakh candidates applied, with 99,690 now shortlisted for the PET.
- ✓ This recruitment is part of a larger drive for over 25,847 police positions across various departments in Bihar.
- ✓ The final merit list for Constables will be based entirely on the scores from the 100-mark PET.
Your Admit Card Is Almost Here!
Alright, let's get straight to the most important detail you need right now. The PET is set to kick off in December, and you'll be able to download your admit card starting from November 25, 2025. Mark that date on your calendar because you won't want to miss it. This isn't just a piece of paper; it's your ticket to the next round.
To get your hands on your admit card, you'll need to head over to the official CSBC website, which is csbc.bihar.gov.in. Once you're there, you'll need your registration ID and date of birth to log in and download the document. Make sure to check it carefully, as it will have all the critical information: the exact date, time, and location of your test, along with other important instructions you must follow.
The Grueling Journey to the PET
It's worth taking a moment to appreciate just how competitive this process has been. The notification for these 19,838 Constable posts first came out way back in March 2025. It drew an absolutely staggering number of applicants—more than 16.73 lakh people applied for these positions! That's a huge number of hopefuls vying for a chance at a government job in the Bihar Police.
The written exam was held in six phases during July and August, with about 13.30 lakh candidates actually appearing for the test. From that massive pool, the CSBC has now shortlisted 99,690 candidates to move on to the PET. If you're one of them, congratulations! You've already beaten some incredible odds. Now, the final push is about to begin.
Breaking Down the Physical Efficiency Test
So, what exactly does the PET involve? It's not just about showing up; you have to perform. The test is divided into three distinct physical activities, and your score in each will contribute to a total of 100 marks. The events are Running, High Jump, and Shot Put. Your combined score across these three is what will ultimately decide your ranking.
But that's not all. In addition to the performance-based tests, there will also be physical standard measurements. Officials will check your height, chest (for male candidates), and weight to ensure you meet the required standards. It's a non-negotiable part of the process—if you don't meet the prescribed physical criteria, you'll be disqualified, regardless of how well you perform in the other events.
Here's another crucial piece of information: your document verification will happen on the very same day as your PET. You'll need to bring all your original documents related to your academic qualifications, age, and any reservation category you belong to. There won't be a separate day for this, so come prepared. For female candidates, there's an additional requirement to provide a declaration stating that they are not pregnant at the time of the PET.
More Than Just Constables: The Bigger Picture
While the Constable recruitment is the largest, it's actually part of a much wider hiring initiative by the Bihar Police and associated departments. In total, the recruitment process for about 25,847 positions is underway, managed by both the CSBC and the Bihar Police Sub-ordinate Services Commission (BPSSC). These processes were temporarily on hold but are now getting back on track.
A Look at Other Ongoing Recruitments
Besides the Constable roles, here's a quick rundown of some of the other vacancies being filled:
- ✓ Jail Warder, Prohibition Constable & Transport Constable: There are a combined 4,128 posts here. Applications for these were accepted from October 6 to November 5, and the application screening is currently in progress. For these roles, the written test is only a qualifying exam for the PET and document verification.
