Bihar govt fixes Rs 100 fee for all prelims in recruitment tests; main exams to be free

“I am pleased to announce that a decision has been made to bring uniformity in the fees for preliminary tests (PT) of competitive examinations conducted by all commissions for state-level government jobs, and to provide significant fee concessions to candidates,” the CM said in a post on X in Hindi.

“Instructions have been given to charge only Rs 100 as the fee for candidates appearing in the preliminary test of the competitive examinations. Candidates who clear the preliminary tests and appear for the mains examinations will no longer have to pay any examination fee,” he added.

Recruitment examinations for state government jobs are conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission, Bihar Staff Selection Commission, Bihar Technical Service Commission, Bihar Police Subordinate Service Commission, and the Central Constable Selection Board, among others.

Kumar said providing government jobs to the state’s youth had been the priority of his government since the beginning.

“To provide opportunities to the youth of the state and to secure their future, our government has taken several concrete steps. Now, we have taken this decision in the interest of the youth,” he said.
