What Changed

The previous version of this page presented the PST admit card and the 12 September 2026 PST/DV as current and upcoming. That date has passed, so the page now shows the PST/DV stage as over and the next official selection/final-result notice as awaited.

CSBC published the written examination result on 18 August 2026, issued the PST/DV notice on 29 August 2026 and released the PST admit card on 05 September 2026. No newer notice for Advt. 01/2026 was listed on the official CSBC website on 19 September 2026.

Candidate Action

Monitor the official CSBC Advt. 01/2026 notices for the next official result or selection update. There is no current admit-card stage, so do not download or rely on an admit card for the past PST date.

CSBC Special Branch Written Result — What the Numbers Show

CSBC received 2,33,479 registered online applications for Advertisement No. 01/2026. After cancelled, incomplete and rejected applications were excluded, the Board recorded 2,24,429 valid applications.

The written examination was held on 24 June 2026. CSBC’s result notice records 64,408 valid candidates who appeared in the written examination.

For 83 advertised vacancies, the Board initially planned to shortlist candidates approximately three times the category-wise vacancy strength for the next stage. Because candidates tied at the relevant marks in some categories, 254 candidates were ultimately shortlisted for PST.

This means the PST stage was already a highly filtered stage of the recruitment process. The application and attendance numbers show the scale of competition, but they should not be presented as an individual’s mathematical probability of final selection.

These figures come directly from the official CSBC written-result notice.

How CSBC Resolves Equal Written Scores

If two or more candidates have equal written-examination marks when the final merit list is prepared, CSBC has specified a sequence for deciding their relative position.

• First preference is given to the older candidate based on date of birth.
• If the marks and date of birth are both the same, preference is given to the candidate with the higher educational qualification.
• If marks, date of birth and educational qualification are all the same, relative position is determined according to the Hindi alphabetical order of the candidate’s name as recorded in the Class 10 Board certificate.

Documents to Carry for PST and Document Verification

For the PST/DV, candidates had to bring their PST admit card along with the required original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies.

The core documents listed by CSBC include:

• Valid photo identity proof such as Aadhaar Card, Driving Licence or Voter ID.
• Matric/Class 10 or equivalent certificate and mark sheet for date-of-birth verification.
• Intermediate/10+2 or equivalent pass certificate.
• Intermediate/10+2 or equivalent mark sheet.
• Applicable caste certificate for reserved-category candidates.
• Permanent residence/domicile certificate where required.
• Non-Creamy Layer certificate for BC/EBC candidates where applicable.
• Required declaration in prescribed Form XVIII-B where the applicable NCL certificate falls under the condition stated by CSBC.
• Prescribed certificate for Freedom Fighter Ward candidates where applicable.
• Prescribed EWS income and asset certificate for financial year 2024-25 plus permanent residence certificate where applicable.
• Applicable Bihar Government service certificate where age-relaxation is being claimed.
• Any other document required to verify a claim made in the application.

Candidates must rely on the official PST/DV notice for the exact documents applicable to their category.

Document verification was scheduled together with the PST. CSBC stated that candidates would not be given another opportunity for missing the scheduled verification.

The official PST/DV notice provides these requirements.

What Candidates Should Do Now

1. Keep your PST admit card, certificates and the photocopy set used for document verification safely.
2. Check the official CSBC Advt. 01/2026 notice listing regularly for the next official result or selection update.
3. Do not rely on unofficial result dates or messages; use only notices published on csbc.bihar.gov.in.

CSBC’s PST/DV notice stated that attendance on the scheduled date was mandatory and that another opportunity would not be provided.

Career Context of the Special Branch Constable Post

This recruitment is specifically for Constable (General Duty Close Cadre) in the Special Branch of Bihar Police, with the advertised post placed in Pay Level 3.

The official recruitment advertisement does not provide a detailed day-to-day duty description or a guaranteed promotion ladder. For that reason, this page should not claim specific intelligence, surveillance, investigation or promotion responsibilities unless those claims are separately verified from official service rules.

Candidates should understand that this is a Special Branch close-cadre appointment rather than treating it as identical to every general Bihar Police constable recruitment.

Competition Context for the 83 Posts

The official result data provides unusually useful context for understanding the scale of this recruitment.

CSBC recorded 2,24,429 valid applications for 83 advertised vacancies. That works out to approximately 2,704 valid applications per advertised vacancy.

The official result notice records 64,408 candidates as having validly appeared in the written examination, which is approximately 776 written-test participants per advertised vacancy.

The Board ultimately shortlisted 254 candidates for the PST stage, a little over three candidates for each advertised vacancy.

These figures should be treated only as competition context. They do not represent an individual candidate’s mathematical probability of selection because reservation, written marks, PST qualification, document verification and final merit rules all affect the outcome.

The Most Important Selection Detail Candidates Can Miss

The PST stage was a Physical Standard Test, not a conventional Physical Efficiency Test involving running or jumping.

The PST checks the prescribed physical measurements. It is qualifying and carries no marks.

This distinction matters because the official recruitment rules state that the final merit list is based on the main written examination marks, provided the candidate clears the required PST and document-verification conditions.

Therefore, candidates who have already qualified for PST do not improve their written merit position by exceeding the minimum height, chest or weight standard. They simply need to meet all applicable physical standards and complete document verification successfully.
