Exam pattern — 150 MCQs, no negative marking

Mode: offline OMR. Single shift per day across the 22-27 September window — BPSC stagger the post groups across days (typical pattern: Primary on day 1-2, Upper Primary day 3, Secondary day 4-5, Senior Secondary day 6-7). Exact day-wise schedule comes with the admit card.

Salary + benefits

Plus Dearness Allowance (currently 53%), House Rent Allowance (8-24% per city class), Transport Allowance, NPS contribution, and Bihar government leave + medical benefits. Gross in-hand approximately ₹40,000-50,000 per month depending on post + posting location.

Preparation strategy — the 6-month window

With the exam fixed for 22-27 September 2026 and ~4-5 months of focused prep available after notification, the recommended rhythm:

• Month 1-2: Cover NCERT-base content for your chosen subject across Class 6-12. Bihar Textbook Corporation books are also essential — Bihar-specific GS questions draw from these.
• Month 3-4: Mock-test phase. BPSC TRE 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 previous-year papers (available on multiple coaching portals) — solve in timed conditions.
• Month 5: Language paper drills (English grammar + comprehension; Hindi vyakaran + Bihar Bhasha). Cut-off is qualifying so don't over-invest — just ensure 40-50% accuracy.
• Final 2 weeks: Revision + 2-3 full-length mocks per week at exam-day timing. Bihar-specific GK + Bihar current affairs (CM schemes, recent appointments, geography).
