In shortlisting these 19,681 for the physical and skill tests, the CSBC has taken the next step in the Bihar Police hiring process. With scorecards now on csbc.bihar.gov.in, there is little time for aspirants to check their roll numbers and get ready for what will be a decisive round of testing.
It is a small fraction of the 5,34,735 who have progressed. The Board has been strict on the 30% rule and put forward five times the number of open spots. Those right on the cut-off have been included as well, which should head off any disputes at the margins.
What the shortlist means
From here on it is about ground evaluations. Final rankings in each category will be determined by a combination of physical measurements and events like the high jump, shot put and a race.
Shortlisted candidates are to look to the CSBC for further direction on scheduling the PET and PST. The list was compiled in accordance with the reservation provisions and other eligibility criteria for this cycle.
Reservation has played its part in shaping the list. The Board found the pool of ex-servicemen and Home Guard applicants wanting and has reallocated those quotas to non-Home Guard candidates where the rules allow. There is also a 35% horizontal reservation in place for women from Bihar at this stage.
Vacancies revised and who is hiring
After revising the figures from 4,128, the recruitment now encompasses 4,236 departmental positions. That is an addition of 94 Prohibition Constable and 14 Warder posts.
The breakdown is 1,697 for Prohibition Constables, 2,431 Warders and 108 Mobile Squad Constables. Even after the first cull, with nearly 20,000 moving on to the PET and PST, the competition is far from over.
One can see the staffing priorities in the distribution across security functions. It is a steady build-up for constabulary and jail management, with mobile enforcement getting its own dedicated intake.
Exam scale and integrity measures
Held in two shifts on June 14 and 17, 2026, the written exam had a statewide presence with 544 centres in every one of the 38 districts.
While 11,43,855 put in registration, only 11,04,473 were deemed valid after some cancellations and scrutiny. Of that group, 5,34,735 showed up. Eighty were disqualified for indiscipline or misconduct, leaving 5,34,669 answer sheets for the CSBC to evaluate.
Such is the rigour of the process: broad access but with visible enforcement to ensure fairness. It sets the tone for the high-stakes physical tests to come.
