Selection Process:
The selection process for BPSSC Havildar Instructor Recruitment 2026 consists of 2 (two) successive stages – a Written Competitive Examination of 100 marks (MCQ/Objective type, 2 hours) and a Physical Efficiency Test (PET) of 100 marks. The written examination is only qualifying for the PET; the final merit list will be based solely on marks obtained in the Physical Efficiency Test.
Candidates scoring less than 30% marks in the written examination will be disqualified from the Physical Efficiency Test. Based on written exam marks, candidates equal to 5 (five) times the number of vacancies for each reservation category will be shortlisted for PET. The appointing authority for selected candidates is the Commandant, Bihar Home Guard, Patna.
Stage 1 – Written Competitive Examination
| Paper | Subjects | Type | Total Questions | Total Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Paper | Hindi, English, Mathematics, Social Science (History, Geography, Civics, Economics), Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Botany), General Knowledge & Current Affairs | Objective (MCQ / OMR-based) | 100 | 100 | 2 Hours |
Each correct answer carries 1 mark. Minimum qualifying marks: 30%. The written exam is qualifying only, not the basis for the final merit list.
If the examination is held in multiple sessions/shifts, normalised marks will be calculated using the Equi-Percentile Method. OMR answer sheets (carbon copy) will be retained for one year after the final selection list is published.
