BSSC CGL

It is the graduate-level recruitment route run by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission for non-gazetted Class III and Class IV posts under the pay scales the commission was set up to fill. The commission was constituted under Bihar State Act No. 7/2002 for posts below the ₹6,500–10,500 scale. Confirm the specific posts in the current advertisement.

The commission has one chairman and four members. The chairman is an IAS or IPS officer at secretary level, and members are Class I officers nominated by the government from pay scales not below ₹14,000. Administrative work is handled by Bihar Administrative Service officers serving as secretary, joint secretary, deputy secretary and under secretary.

Treat General Studies, General Science, Mathematics and Mental Ability as equally weighted and give each a fixed weekly block. Mathematics and reasoning reward daily practice with a timer; General Studies and Science reward spaced revision and short notes. Do not let one strong section eat the time your weakest section needs.

Difficulty comes from breadth and speed rather than depth. The content is largely school-level, but four sections in one paper punish candidates who are slow or who skipped a section entirely. Accuracy under time pressure, not obscure facts, is usually what separates qualifying scores from near-misses.

Only through the commission. Its site states that information may be changed without notice and advises candidates to obtain proper information from the commission before taking any final decision about an examination. Check bssc.bihar.gov.in and the official advertisement for every number rather than trusting forums, PDFs or coaching handouts.

The source page does not state a retake policy, so treat this as unconfirmed and check the current advertisement. In practice, candidates normally reappear in later recruitment cycles when a fresh advertisement is issued and they still meet the age and eligibility conditions at that time.

Expect state-focused questions on Bihar's history, geography, polity, economy and current schemes alongside general Indian and world material. Build a separate Bihar notebook and update it from newspapers and official state sources, because this is where prepared candidates most often pull ahead of general-knowledge-only competitors.

Neglecting one section completely, practising untimed, memorising facts without revising them, and relying on outdated notification details instead of the current advertisement. Another frequent error is over-studying easy topics. Take full-length timed mocks, review every wrong answer, and fix the weakest section first.

No. This is independent study material written for candidates searching for the exam. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or issued by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission. Always treat bssc.bihar.gov.in and the official advertisement as the authoritative source for every rule and date.
