Selection process explained: stages and how to prepare

Stages listed in the notification

The selection will be through the following stages as mentioned in the notification: a written examination, Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification and a medical test. Final merit will be prepared based on performance across these stages.

Written examination

• The notification states a written exam is part of the selection. Expect an objective (multiple‑choice) paper covering general topics at the level of Class 12 and general awareness.
• The detailed syllabus, question‑paper pattern and marks weightage will be provided by BPSSC on the official notification or subsequent instructions. Check csbc.bihar.gov.in for the detailed exam pattern.

Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

• PET is a standard stage for instructor and policing posts. The notification confirms PET is part of the process but does not publish exact physical standards.
• Train progressively: running, interval sprints, stamina and strength drills. If you have an ongoing medical condition, consult a doctor before intense training.

Document verification and medical test

• After clearing written and PET, you will be called for document verification. Carry original and self‑attested photocopies of all certificates.
• A medical examination follows. Keep records of any past surgeries or medical conditions ready to declare honestly.

How stages affect final selection

Each stage is eliminatory. Missing medical or document requirements can remove you from final merit even if you clear written and PET. Keep copies of all documents and the admission proof.

Common pitfalls

• Relying solely on written test preparation and neglecting PET.
• Submitting incorrect personal data or incomplete documents.
