Exam Pattern
Check against the official notification ↗
2 hours · Negative Marking: None — each question carries 1 mark, no deduction for wrong answers. · Passing Marks: Written exam is qualifying only — candidates need a minimum of 30% to be shortlisted for PST/PET. Final merit/selection is decided by PET marks (100 marks), not the written test score. (This is an unusual model versus most other constable exams — worth double-checking against the specific notification since sources agree on 30% but exact wording of "qualifying" varies by cycle.)

FAQs
Does my written exam score matter for the final Bihar Police Constable merit list?
Only indirectly — you need at least 30% in the written test to qualify for the physical stage, but the actual merit list ranking for most constable posts is based on your PET (Physical Efficiency Test) marks out of 100, not your written score.
What are the running, high jump, and shot put requirements in the PET?
Men run 1.6 km in under 6 minutes, do a minimum 4-foot high jump, and put a 16-lb shot; women run 1 km in under 6 minutes, do a minimum 3-foot high jump, and put a 12-lb shot. These make up the 50/25/25 mark split of the 100-mark PET.
Is there negative marking in the Bihar Police Constable written exam?
No — each of the 100 questions carries 1 mark with no penalty for wrong answers.
Why do I see different application fee amounts (₹100 vs ₹675) for Bihar Police Constable online?
CSBC has run different recruitment drives (general constable, constable operator, special branch constable) with different fee structures across cycles — always check the fee listed in the specific notification/advertisement number you're applying under rather than relying on a generic figure.
