Bihar Police Constable Selection Process

Bihar Police Constable selection has these stages — note that the merit is decided on the physical test, not the written exam:

1. Written Examination (qualifying only)

A candidate must score at least the qualifying mark (about 30%). It screens candidates but does not count toward the final merit.

2. Physical Standard Test (PST)

Height and chest (male) measured against the standards.

3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) — 100 marks (merit)

• Running — 50 marks (male 1.6 km, female 1 km; marks by time band).
• High jump — 25 marks (male from 4 ft, female from 3 ft).
• Shot put / Gola — 25 marks (male 16 lb, female 12 lb; marks by distance).

4. Document Verification & Medical

Document verification and a medical examination. The final merit list is prepared from the PET marks.
