Ahead of the Assembly election, the Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC) is set to conduct a six-phase written examination for the recruitment of 19,838 constable posts in Bihar, commencing July 16. The examination will be conducted across 627 centres in all 38 districts of the State on six dates: July 16, 20, 23, 27, 30, and August 3. 'An advertisement to fill up the 19,838 posts of constables was issued on March 11, which was later extended up to April 25. The Board received a total of 17,06,628 online applications for registration. A total of 16,73,586 applications were found valid after scrutiny,' CSBC Chairman and Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jitendra Kumar said at a press briefing in Patna. During scrutiny, 10,947 applications were found incomplete, 20,940 candidates withdrew their applications, and 1,155 were rejected due to various reasons. 'The final list, after scrutiny, was uploaded to the Board's website on June 6,' Mr. Kumar added. When asked about the number of female applicants, Mr. Kumar stated, 'Right now, I do not have numbers with me but there is a 35% quota for women and hence the number may not be less than five to six lakh.' Reiterating the Board's commitment to conduct a fair and transparent examination, Mr. Kumar said, 'Elaborate arrangements are being made by the Board, police headquarters, and the State government. District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police will be given proper guidelines from the top level to ensure fair examination.' District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police have been appointed as Exam Coordinator and Exam Co-Coordinator, respectively. Outlining the security protocols, the Chairman said local police are maintaining strict vigilance and collecting intelligence from hostels, lodges, coaching centres, and other potential gathering spots for candidates. 'Exam centres and halls will be monitored through CCTV cameras, and the live feed will be available at the control room of the Board's headquarters. Jammers capable of blocking 5G and Wi-Fi signals will be installed at all centres. Centre Superintendents will be connected via a hotline to ensure smooth conduct,' Mr. Kumar said. To prevent any undue advantage, candidates will not be allotted centres in their home districts. The Board will announce examination dates and centre details on its official website after June 20, 2025. Allotments will be done through randomisation. The two-hour examination will begin at 12 noon. Candidates will be allowed entry between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. They are required to bring their e-admit card along with a valid photo identification document such as Aadhaar, passport, PAN card, or EPIC. Candidates are not required to bring any writing materials, as the Board will provide pens and question booklets at the examination centres.
